Description
Series: Model Graphix Gundam WARS III: Gundam SentinelThis is the Zeta Plus, which appears in the above titled book. It's basically a stripped down, easier and cheaper to manufacture version of the Zeta Gundam. The version depicted here is the A1 (A series), which is an atmospheric flight machine. This is opposite the C1 (C series) which tend to operate in space. The differences between the two types are somewhat basic. The C1 looks very similar to the A1 except in the pelvic armor, shield -which also has a smart beam gun attached, and fuel tanks on the wings... all of which are absent on the A1.
The combat versions of these machines are a midrange gray color. The ones here are in Demonstration colors. The center in orange (actually should be a deeper red but I'm fine with it as-is) is said to have been test flown by Amuro Ray for Anaheim Electronics, the validity of which is questionable and is instead possibly a marketing strategy by Anaheim to court buyers for the machine. It's known for sure that Amuro was piloting the White Zeta Unit 3, however that unit is of minimal relation to these.
Several units are built for the Federation forces.
Software: Lightwave 3d (Modelling,Rendering,UV's), Photoshop (UV texturing, Post process)
The design of the demonstration colors and the fact that I had been sick for a week threw my timetable off by a few days so this is a late entry (as far as I'm concerned). Gotta pump it up!
Gundam is (c) Bandai/Sunrise/Sotsu Agency

Awesome~! At first glance, I thought you'd goofed (thought it was supposed to be Valkyries from Robotech/Macross). But yeah - I haven't seen Zeta, so I dunno much about it. It's correct, and it's cool. Great job on it, m'man!

It's ok. This actually appears in a magazine publication mostly so you haven't really missed much.

That's cool; unfortunately, I don't get much in the way of mags. But thanks for the heads-up!
Also, I'm wondering if you did (or are doing) a Murasame, Blu Duel, or Justice (either one) pieces? I'd certainly like to see 'em!

I've put too much time into seed meshes as it is so I'm trying to shift a bit. Although I had planned to make a few more seed models in the beginning, none of the ones you mentioned were ever planned and so I have to say no for the time being. The closest was a planned Astray (gundam) and a Duel, but they've long since been taken off the schedule. If you're really looking for images of them I'm sure other gundam peeps have made at least one of them if you look around DA for a it.

To be honest, your style is a bit unique. So I'll have to say that though I've seen a few, I haven't seen any like yours. I'll still keep an eye out, though.

Zeta Plus A1! my fav of the Sentinel Gundams. I like the C1s, but the A1s are my fav, especially the one in "Amuro Ray" colours. I got the Master Grade kit, which is pretty sweet, except the leg mechanism sucks, especially in MS mode.
brilliant render, another classic.

The leg mechanism sucks??? How so?

DarkeAngel In reply to sandrum [2007-03-25 20:22:28 +0000 UTC]
on the master grade model, the legs dont connect in a normal pelvis type joint like on most master grade models, its on a moveable system...its hard to explain, but basically when its in humanoid configuration, the clip on the model thats meant to hold the pelvic peices together doesnt stick properly, so the hip joints often swing up and out whenever you try to pose it. all i can really do is stand it up, or put it in a kneeling position...anything else is pretty much impossible. i cant stick it in place or anything like that cuz i'll lose the transformation ability.

sandrum In reply to bozoloko [2007-03-25 16:23:45 +0000 UTC]
The C1 is done as well, I just don't plan on posting it until the final variation is completed as it's mostly derived from the C1 version.

Woah. Are the lines on the wings, circles on the the lower legs and other details modeled or textured?

sandrum In reply to ArchAngelGabe [2007-03-25 16:46:53 +0000 UTC]
Some of the wings lines are textured some are hard modeled. The circle in the leg is textured, I wasn't going to ruin my nice little mesh by cutting it up.
