HAZEL-RAH Form 2.5 + Gaplant
YESSSS!! I'm done. I HAVE to move on to Zeta or I'm going to fall behind again. But man I have to get this into a scene asap with Zeta. :) Before I forget, a big thanks to the Titans Test Team Arc forum for providing me all of the background information for this Mobile Suit, especially ninjascience for all of the images that I didn't have to research for myself. 2 great resources for Advance of Z information. Without them, I'd have had to break open the manga and struggle through the Japanese for myself. Thanks guys! |
Hazel Gundam: Gaplant Booster Beta
Testing the Gaplant booster with the Hazel. I thought that I was modelling the booster upside down and that the hazel used it the other way. But I was off, definately the opposite. The gaplant and hazel both use it the same way. Anyway, a test render of the gaplant booster attached incorrectly :p and the Hazel-Rah. I think that even though the MS doesn't have the "Advance" visor and foot lift attachments, it may still be called the Rah 2nd form. Two wing boosters mounted on the back. Two claw boosters on the side skirts, thereby replacing the ammunition that it carried before. A fin on the front and back mounted on the waist and Hrududu body respectively, and then the Gaplant booster mounted on the Hrududu body. Too lengthy a post, me thinks. |

Hazel Gundam: Color Test
Slapped on some color and some lighting to check it. It's on the right track for sure. Need to work on the lighting a bit though, as the color contrast seems too great. I'll need to make an alternate TTT set of colors as well. Once I get this straight it's on to some logos, baby! |

Hazel Gundam: Head Level Up
The hazel's head on the HG model is missing a little detail, so i added a little bit in the 3d model. It should look nicer when the bump maps are in place and it's textured. I removed the nods at the end of the V fin. I had forgotten that Bandai puts those on the HG models they make. For what purpose is beyond me. Labels: Hazel |

Hazel Gundam: Booster Shield
Screwing around with the booster shield. The shield that came with the HG hazel is off quite a bit from the AOZ illustrations in the Dengeki Hobby magazine, so I experimented with adding intake vents on the side of the shield. It's still not quite right, so of course, it's not done yet (ignore the giant knots on the sides of the shield). I'm gonna try to get this done by friday or saturday so that I can start on Zeta Gundam. Then again, I still need to pick up some additional material to make other modifications to this model.

Hazel Gundam: Legs
Most of the legs here. All that I needed to change (seemingly) was to remove the calf and upper shin area of the Quel leg and basically replace it with this booster system. Wasn't all that bad. Finally, I took the foot from the Quel and reshaped it a bit to make it somewhat flat-ish. Forgot a couple of minor details but... Labels: Hazel |

Hazel Gundam: Backpack
It's just coming along now. I'm aiming to finish the legs today. Labels: Hazel |
Hazel Gundam: Waist 1
There seems to be little in the way of roundish contours on this machine. Very strange, as the Quel was full of round goodness. Anyway, the waist is almost done. Labels: Hazel |
Hazel Gundam: Body
Just moving right along. I'm so glad that I used the quel. This makes the upgrade so much easier. Head and body are pretty close to 100%, minus bump maps and what not. I'm not sure if I want to resize the sensor on the chest to the wee Hazel size or leave it the size it is on the MG quel. I'll think about it for a bit. Labels: Hazel |

Hazel Gundam: Head 1
Started on the head. This one doesn't seem as bad as other gundam heads that I've modelled. I think it has to do with the sensor strip being located at the top of the head instead of solely in front/back of it. Labels: Hazel |
