Description
Phew, I guess I'm really gonna do this, eh?In coming days, weeks, and months, I'll be going into the scratch-building shtick, starting with a mech that'll never get a toy: The Zenith DV (Front Mission 5 version)
Yeah, I know there's that FM3 Zenislev(or more accurately, Zenith RV) toy, and those smallish wanzer Trading Art series, but they're now in the Ultra-Rare category. And this one, the DV, as seen in Front Mission 5 [link] doesn't have a toy dedicated to it.
Mind you, the sketch here is very, very rough, and I'm currently trying to obtain detailed images of that particular model(the youtube vid isn't that crystal clear).
I've been wanting to build a mech toy of my own, but had no idea about the materials. Looking at the galleries of and , I decided, "What the hell.". Plus, scratch-building isn't as daunting as it looks(i.e. you don't need some huge processing machine or something along the lines), even more reason to do it.
Who knows... if this goes well, I might do that custom Zenith I drew a while back. I might even consider that big-ass version of Optimus Prime [link]
... and even Satria. Let's see what will happen the coming months...
EDIT: Decided to photoshop it. Looks better now.

Seems like a fairly simple build
it should be pretty easy, but it could get really complicated really fast if you want to add articulation.
Good luck with the build!

Ah, yeah, that's gonna be the hard part. I found some custom joints by Kotobukiya and Wave, and might use them if I can't make one. XD
Thanks, man!

Those kotobukiya & Wave joints are gonna make your build much easier.
Get as many of those as you can! They'll cut your "engineering time" in half.
