FAZZ: Sentinel Type Complete

Finally trudged through the textures and came out with something. The gun is pulled back toward the body a bit and so the cable is snagged against the body. A rotation of the gun forward a bit will fix this.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 12

The FAZZ for the Double Zeta Gundam series is pretty much like the one posted in the previous post... however, the FAZZ for the Sentinel series differs in construction in the backpack (which is done), a bit of the feet and in the head. I'm just getting around to it now....

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ check

Well, after adding some surfaces and rechecking, I found some parts that could be consolidated so that I could reduce some layers... but now I also created some parenting/scaling issues so I'll have to iron that out a bit before I go further.

Huffin away at the Hyper Mega Cannon...

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 10

Getting the chest armor all sized up. A bit off I think (from the gff version not the plastic version) so I'll have to resize a bit more...but getting close.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 9

Still going. The lower arms looked kind of large with the armor because I went with the plastic kits. Still, the armor is removable which is good and does add to the gargantuan feel.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 8

The arm armor doesn't seem too difficult, but I'm not sure whether or not to add a shoulder protection piece as it seems to hinder movement. I might leave it as is and see how the end result turns out and make a final decision then.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 7

Both ZZ Gundam FAZZ and Sentinel Gundam FAZZ series machine backpacks are almost done. I think I'll finish off small detail with bump maps on this too. The backpack wings are colliding with the legs -- nothing to worry about at the moment ;)

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 6

....also getting started on changing that ZZ backpack to the Sentinel Version of the FAZZ's backpack.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 5

Modifying the existing backpack (from the ZZ) to the Enhanced backpack. There is little difference -- technically. However, the Fix Figuration figure is slightly different than that of the plastic model... I'm sort of mixing the attributes this time, but largely it looks like the plastic model version.

Attaching the waist armor/boosters. The rear is also fitted, but of course, needs one of the FAZZ backpacks attached (there are at least 2 versions.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 3

Katoki's studio widened some parts of the FAZZ's armor when they created the little figure as opposed to the thin/skinny armor on the plastic models. Going for the former on this one as it ads to the style a bit... Soooo, starting the waist.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 2

Getting closer to done with the legs. These are based off of the small figure by Hajime Katoki. The boosters are lowered down more than they are in the plastic model because the figure is the same way (which I like). Have to resize the feet, add a small amount of "screw" detail and redo the lower intake.

Road to Sentinel: FAZZ 1

Mkay, so going to change the ZZ Gundam into the Full Armor ZZ (FAZZ) one component at a time. There is more than one version of the FAZZ, one type used in the ZZ Gundam television series (Neo-Zeon war), and a different type used in the Sentinel series. Although they appear similar, they are a bit different aside from color. After that, Katoki Hajime must have thought it would be interesting to redo his previous FAZZ redesign yet again, slightly tweaking on what existed. The result is present in the Gundam Fix Figuration series. OK, so I'm starting on the Legs up instead of the head down.
