That. Looks. Amazing.

Looking great!

Are you going to make a version with the grabby things collapsed and hidden?

[The Hydromancer]

Originally I was going to try to design the grabby bois to come out on the rail like in the movie, but its so over the top complicated that I figured I'd just do my own riff on the arms (such as adding elbows). I might go back some time and create a stored hand version that allows large plasma edges to be employed on the end of the arms.

Updated TB Chubdam, based on the Gundam Full Armor Thunderbolt version. Tried to keep the sub-arms as small as possible while still getting improved movement to position the side shields. The updated double beam rifle is a combination of the versions I bricked previously for the TB and the tradition Full Armor. I've been trying to not cheat as much with color choices, but I love the dark blue/red palate so much that I allowed myself to go wild with just those two this build.

Based on the Gundam Phenex from Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative, Solnix has joined the fray! An exercise in not giving a damn about real brick colors, it was fun to not care when I usually try to get as close as possible.

had a wild hair last night, and built this after seeing all these chubdams…

based on an HG custom i'm still slightly in the process of finishing.

(if the pics don't work, i'm using deviantart as the host/source because flickr's being derpy at the time of posting, and because i'm also still trying to figure out how the image embedding thing works here. sorry for any inconvenience.)
(edit: including links instead, b/c this apparently doesn't like dA links in image embedding...)
(Edit 2: Images added via Imgur, because screw Flickr. From here out it'll be straight embedding or whatever. Leaving the links, though, for posterity's sake)

Nice builds, Stormchaser, both in brick and gunpla form!

Have you seen my gunpla battle reports?

Yeah, Flickr is pretty much unusable at the moment, (login issues across the board, et al,) which is why I opted for deviantArt. But that's irrelevant...

[KungFujiApple]

Whoa! Totally awesome, every variant design is absolutely gangbusters!

Right! So, apparently Imgur works, so Imma use that instead. Editing my above post to include them!

alrighty, folks, here's some more of that Dark Nova Chubdam, (with legs, this time,) including a couple systems!

First, the front and back views:

As you can see, I've put some of that "chubdam" touch on a pair of superchub legs, with a bit of my own flair thrown in. I did what I could to replicate the "destroy" mode to match the rest of the build. Hope it tickles you guys' fancy as much as it does mine! Don't mind the shield, it's only a temporary stand-in while I try to figure out a more satisfactory unicorn-style transforming one.


Here, on the back, we have a GN drive, reverse-engineered and modified from some of the images in the topmost post. The design was intended to replicate the unit used on the Transient Gundam, from Gundam Build... Fighters? Divers? Eh, you know which one. I'll be modding it again for a later project... Also, don't know how to spec a GN drive for in-game use. Would it
count as a movement system? Either for Trans-Am, or for flying? I mean, most Gundams and other Mobile Suits fly anyways, where Mobile Frames usually don't (like the OG "knightmare" frames of Code Geass,) so... Anywho, to the right, you can also see a couple other GN drives I put together, both of differing design from the one I used on the model, and from each other. One of them's in an "active" state, where it's extended out a bit for use in Trans-Am. They'll definitely be included when I eventually link to the build file (stud.io, btw). Sorry for the other model(s) in the background, they're mostly for scale (and occasionally parts) while I build: I tend to get messy in the process, with spate unused parts scattered around to possibly use later...



Next, here's a pic with a couple systems I've thrown together:

You can see I've come up with two designs for the "Armed Armor BS," as featured in Gundam UC. Good news is, both designs fold back along the arm, like the original! The overall build was based on an old railgun design I found either on here, or in that massive PDF full of community-made frames from a while back. Hard to tell how to spec it for range though, given it was used at an approximation of both Direct and Artillery range in the anime... In addition, there are two Funnel/Fang/Dragoon/whatever pods on the hips (the black masses you see on either side(should I recolor them, perhaps?)), the "lids" of which actually open! Again, not sure what to spec it for with regards to range, because these things are used at all three ranges in various Gundam series. I'm considering putting together a shot to simulate stuff flying out of them at some point, but that's for later. The build of the pods was heavily based on the "Gunpla Builders Partd HD MS Funnel 01" kit, specifically the swoopy-er of the two styles one can build with said kit.


And yes, I will be throwing together some specs for the Dark Nova once I've fully decided what arms and armaments I want it carrying. Might take a while, though, since I'm so easily distracted by building other things...

[KungFujiApple]

Nice design. Looking forward to seeing his bricked up

Armed Armor DE, folks.






yeah, it's huge. totally worth. enjoy.
