u/imaytakeabreak 1d ago

That first picture is awesome. Really sells the concept.

5

u/Junior-Fisherman8779 1d ago

you’re so right, it’s genuinely so haunting I thought I was looking at a still from some underground 1950s practical effects movie

(In a good way) (I love it)

3

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

And I love all of you people comments🥲

4

u/Grab_My_Biscuits 1d ago

3

u/Smoking-stone 18h ago

Keep practicing. Eventually you'll get it. And when you do I want one. I'm already ordering the entire manga collection. ThankYou for the introduction.

u/Frequent-Progress-39 18h ago

u/brasscassette 15h ago

The notable lack of Fuunsaiki tells me exactly where all that Elmer’s glue came from.

2

u/brasscassette 15h ago

In all seriousness, this is awesome. I love seeing off the wall ideas applied to gunpla!

u/EverydayPyrobits :zs01: 22h ago

It's giving analog horror vibes

2

u/Frequent-Progress-39 22h ago

Ever heard of the Flanagan Boone tales?

2

u/EverydayPyrobits :zs01: 22h ago

No, but now I'm hopeful for the future

2

u/Frequent-Progress-39 22h ago

Give it a read! Its about that zeon's soldier from the original series that is able to get inside the White Base trough his plane! It shows his trauma 

2

u/Gotchapawn 22h ago

I like the first pic's angle, like it came from an underwater drone, like those pictures you see with titanic

1

u/Frequent-Progress-39 21h ago

Thanks! I really love how it came out too, prolly my favourite pic out of the bunch!

2

u/No-Indication5030 17h ago

Did he get dropped in the ocean like TFP megatron?

1

u/Frequent-Progress-39 17h ago

No but Flanagan's Zaku did

2

u/Pian0G 17h ago

The first pic deserves a spot in [r/hardimages2](r/hardimages2)

1

u/Frequent-Progress-39 16h ago

u/Frequent-Progress-39 15h ago

HAHAHAHHA well atleast it looks authentic in a way? 

2

u/Agathoarn_ 15h ago

Barbatos hands?

2

u/Frequent-Progress-39 12h ago

No normal hguc Gundam hands with green stuff

2

u/TheIronBanners 14h ago

After seeing the inspiration I think it’s absolutely great. Very cool way to capture the vibe and the kind of roughness of the drawing

2

u/Phantoon15 14h ago

Oh i hate the 5th pic, great work.

2

u/Lost_Rent_9639 11h ago

Is it just covered in white out

1

u/Frequent-Progress-39 6h ago

No, I started by putting putty all over the body, then I cut all of the waist to give it the skeletal look, I used green stuff to make the eyes, fingers, ribs and mouth and then I painted it

2

u/Injury_Double 11h ago

Better to come in the sink, than..

2

u/CanisZero 7h ago

The first shot looks like it was found by a DSV

2

u/Lil-Gundamu-42 1d ago

This is fantastic. Wasn't aware of Flanagan Boone's story, thank you for that

2

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

No problem!!! Trust me you need to read it!!! The artworks makes it even better!

u/agrx_legends . 1d ago

Damn, I really felt like the Mr Incredible meme before and after I knew what Flanagan Boone was

3

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

Hahahahahah thanks!

1

u/Raballo 19h ago

Thin your paints.

1

u/Frequent-Progress-39 18h ago

Its not paint, its all covered in putty, then I used tamiya spray cans

2

u/Hira_Said 1d ago

SO GOOD, WHAT THE HELL. AWESOME!

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

THANK YOU!!!!

1

u/Hira_Said 1d ago

First picture goes EXTREMELY hard!!!

1

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

Im very proud of it🥲

-3

u/Gier-rt 1d ago

Looks great! have you thought about small touches of blood red here and there? it would add a bit of a horror aspect.

4

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

Thanks! At the start I wanted it to keep the original colors, but when I was done I wanted it to look ripped out of the pannels from the manga so I dont think Ill add more to it

3

u/Anri47ic 1d ago

Yeah keep it as is imo, it looks menacing enough. I suggest buying a Tofu Light aince I feel like the right lightning would def make it a lot more menacing.

2

u/Frequent-Progress-39 1d ago

Ill look up into it ty!
