The Gilgamesh Project YouTube Gallery

I just uploaded another YouTube gallery of one of my old builds. 

This is my old 2010 1/100 MG Sazabi Snow diorama " The Gilgamesh Project ". 

This diorama won me the Gold Champion medal at BAKUC Expert category. 

The Expert category is basically an old category so that past winners cannot join the Open category. lol. These days, they sort of fixed the cats, to encourage younger modelers. I think GBWC has now age categories. 

Anyways, I hope you'll like the video gallery. I will do more to help fill my new Youtube channel. 

Thanks as always for dropping by!

Cheers!

custom MG Sazabi verGAV

I can't really say if Mr.GAV has improved since his first few builds as he has always been very very good! Mr.GAV has always presented us with inspiring masterpieces may it be glossy clean finishes to highly weathered realistic finishes. This guy just exceeds the talent range of most modelers!

I am proud and very happy to present to you another stunning work from Mr.GAV. This is his custom MG Sazabi Hades Pattern! The color scheme is so realistic and is very nice. Match the scheme with the ultra realistic rust and weathering effects and we have a stand out work from one of the most talented Gunpla modelers Europe has to offer.

glimpse of my " Gilgamesh project " before submission to BMKWC 2010

It's just a few minutes after 6 am here in the Philippines, I will be leaving the house and submit my " Gilgamesh project " for Bandai Model Kit World Cup in a few more hours. I am really glad that I added the mountain at the back in the last minute.

The snow mixture of the new mountain is still a bit wet to touch, though it is not glossy anymore which is a good thing. Much like my last year's entry,  " The Graveyard " which has a wall at the back... my Gilgamesh project has a mountain to serve as background.

I like putting walls at the back of the kits, it simply forces the viewers to focus on my dio without seeing the kits at the back. You'll know what I mean when you see coverage photos of my entry later. Having a wall simply will eliminates the nuances in the background. hihi

MG Sazabi WIP summary

 As Matt Mrozek told me at FichtenFoo forums, I kinda had an iffy start with this build. All I know is that I wanted this to be the fattest kit that I could make out of a MG Sazabi. I also have Z Luca's masterpiece as inspiration, thus I came up with the boob part, the huge crotch, huge rear skirts, huge front skirts and the Quebley shoulders.

Now let us see some really old photos of the early stages of this build... I constructed the boob part using the backpack of a 1/100 Gunner Zaku ( Gundam Seed ). I then scratch built a crotch and a huge plain front skirt using 2mm and 1mm pla plates...

MSN-04 Sazabi ver DC23

I have been working with this kit since around June but I only worked on it for roughly 3 months since then. Too much distractions since July thus I was only able to focused on working on this build for the last couple of months ( September & October ).

I have two inspirations for this build... the first one is Schnabelgun III by Zluca which has outstanding out of this world weathering. I am not capable of such topnotch weathering though, but I hope to reach that level one of these years.

My second inspiration is my own AC White Glint which was my first international ( client from the US ) commission work. I was really surprised to have pulled that build off coz it was my first time to do a good job on weathering a white mech.

As I've said before, the AC White Glint is the most impressive looking kit out of the box that I have built. The overall look of the mech with the Vanguard Overed Boost was outstanding. Thus, my MG Sazabi is simply a vain attempt to replicate the look of the White Glint.

This is going to be my entry in the up and coming Bandai World Cup 2010 for the Expert category. Although it will have a backpack and a diorama during the event. I obviously do not want the main kit to be revealed in not so good coverage photos come Saturday. Unless you have a really nice SLR, lighting in the event is just too lousy for the usual point and shoot camera ( like mine ). So, I present to you my standalone MG Sazabi ver DC23 ahead of time...

my MG Sazabi is done!!! THANK YOU! :D

I have finished putting decals and weathering of my MG Sazabi today! save some soot effects in a few areas the kit itself is done and ready for November 6! Unfortunately it rained a bit today, thus I was not able to paint the backpack. I will paint both backpack and 1/72 figures tomorrow definitely and try to finish a few days before the event.

Sorry though coz I won't be posting any more photos of my MG Sazabi. Hopefully even though I shared so much in the WIP of this build, There will still be an element of surprise once you guys have seen the whole mech. I will present my " the Gilgamesh project " very soon! thank you as always for the support!

On a side note, my deepest thanks to the 3 ( so far 2 are posted ) young modelers who joined our first SD competition. I will have to feature these guys within the week and decide after Bandai World Cup the ultimate winner who has the funniest and best SD kit. Goodluck guys!

the GILGAMESH project

Three years after the Axis descent towards Earth where both Amuro and Char was KIA ( Killed in Action ), A small faction of Neo Zeon loyalists worked on an upgraded version of the Sazabi. They named the monster - Gilgamesh.

The Gilgamesh project was done in the remote regions of Northern Siberia on Earth and has been wreaking havoc on its test flights amongst the small Federation forces around the region. The Gilgamesh is simply called the abominable snowman by it's enemies.
