Description
Series: Model Graphix Gundam WARS III: Gundam Sentinel MSVThis is the Zeta Plus C1 [BST]: "Hummingbird" in demonstration colors. Basically it is the Zeta Plus A1, but with both C1 (space use) upgrades and BST (booster) future grades. The C1 parts consist of fuel tanks on the wings and a smart beam gun directly attached to the shield.
The Hummingbird parts consist of high speed use upgrades. Boosters on the Arms and in place of the Lower Legs are very similar to those of the S-Gundam Bst or Ex-S (or Deep Striker) with a crucial difference. The boosters on the Hummingbird are modified to transform with the machine. For this, fuel tanks that are usually IN the booster housing are combined and instead placed under the torso, the pelvic area of which is also reinforced with a different armor plate. In their place are mechanical components allowing the boosters to rotate and leave space for transformation. The arm boosters are each equipped with a pair of cannons. The C1 shield -already equipped with the Smart Beam Gun- also has the S-Gundam smart beam gun attached as well (the black weapon). Though the machine can also equip the beam rifle that the A1 normally uses, I'm not actually sure that the dual smart beam guns can be fired accurately with one arm. I'm fairly certain it requires both arms to keep them steady.
Basically the point of this unit is to exercise hit and run tactics similarly employed by the Hazel-Rah though the firepower is substantial. However, this is a Mobile Suit Variation and it's never able to see combat in the story. If it had, the machine would be a mid-gray color like the C1.
A larger/wider/cleaner version of this image is supposed to be the index page in the ol art book. I cut it off a bit just to be a hassle
Software: Lightwave3D(modelling/rendering), Photoshop(good old post work)

Another fucking awesome piece.
Love the detail and effects with the flames.
And you're probably right.
Two arms would be needed to fire the weapons accuratily.
Lest it be in the plane-thing mode.
(Forgot the actusl canon term they used)

Thank you, madebychina. I don't work for Bandai at all, this is just for fun.
DeathScythe wasn't on my list, but many other people have done it if you give deviantart a search!

I'm sure many people who see your works will think you In Bandai
They should hire you, and you can make the cover of the model kit for them
And I will definitely buy the model kit with cover box done by u ^^

Wow. I think the specs would make me faint... If I could only see them.
It looks so awesome. How'd you model it like that? I'd love to make a few of my own.

I've been lurking around for awhile but i just couldn't pass up saying something about this!
Great rendering job man!
and on another note.... JESUS CHRIST!!! no wonder this mobile suit never saw combat, its sheer overkill in terms of mobility and firepower... it almost tops the Bylant's awsomeness of being able to go from ground to orbit all on its own power!
the sheer amount of thrust off of this thing ranks right up with the Gaplant and the Dendrobium. The Gaplant being a mobile suit that could move so fast they had to genetically engineer a whole new race of human to pilot them!
But once again, I salute you, fellow mech-head!

Cool Zeta Plus C1 Cst Hummingbird!
But to be honest, I really the MSZ-006A1 Zeta Plus Red Hummingbird better.
Do you think you can design Red Zeta Plus Hummingbird?

Cool. The zeta plus is a interesting design. It was a good call to model the hummingbird mode which is similar to the deep striker. It still amazes me how quickly and in such quantity you manage to put out quality work. As a side note, the Zeta pluses were meant to intimidate enemy's; a paper tiger if you will.

This is really slow actually. It took me a month to get this far if you count it all together with the previous zeta plus. This being a build upon a previous one means that I saved a bit of time, but also that the whole thing still took too long.
