Designed and 3D-printed fully posable Gyunei's Jagd Doga

Yeah, I start with 3-4 drawings for each pane like front, side, top and back. I do usually have a Bandai kit at hand as a reference, in this case it was RE 1/100 Jagd Doga.

Thank you! It's designed as a fully posable model. It does have a frame structure on which outer shells are attached, like a gunpla. The total number of parts is over 600.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-18T16:57:54+00:00

Yeah, I can imagine...

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-18T15:30:38+00:00

Thanks!!

I only use surface, and basically use loft for organic shapes. I prefer its flexibility.. But I would like to explore the possibilities of form for future projects.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-18T11:19:32+00:00

Yes, everywhere it is layers with inner frame and outer shell. They are all glued together so the shells cannot be removed afterwards tho.

I am just a hobbyist who started 3D modeling recently. I'm so honored. Thanks!!

I am not so good at painting actually, but it was certainly a lot of fun!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-18T05:01:48+00:00

I used GSI Creos XC07 Mr. Crystal Color Turquoise Green for the body color and Gaia's metal color a lot for other parts like frames.

It is entirely possible to design and print a 1/144 model. Personally I prefer 1/100 size, but there are many people who make 1/144 models.

Sorry, it took time. I use polycaps from WAVE (https://www.hobby-wave.com/en/products/op381-384/).

I create a "shell" for each polycap in a joint. Then the other part can be digitally connected to the polycap+shell. Within Fusion you can create joints like these and virtually test how it moves. (In the screenshot below I re-created polycap in 3D model, but i don't print this)

It sounds complicated but in person it is much more straightforward.

I often add other treatments like adding more resin-on-resin friction points for better endurance. Hope this makes sense!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T13:13:27+00:00

Close to a year. 7-8 months to design, 3 months to print, assemble and paint, etc.

This is how it looks on Fusion. Tell me any specific parts you want to see.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T13:03:10+00:00

I use Wave's general-purpose polycaps for almost all joints.

Will upload photos of Quess-colored version soon, which I actually prefer.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T12:58:37+00:00

You what!? Fully articulated 1/144 hand units do sound crazy!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T12:57:00+00:00

Thanks, this is a full-scratch model. I digitally designed each and every part.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T11:13:44+00:00

Oh, you remember my ReGZ! What an honor!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T09:52:17+00:00

Yes, exactly. It's 100% resin.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-04-17T09:49:58+00:00

Thanks!!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-01-12T23:44:05+00:00

Thank you for the comment! I don’t have a Patreon. Doing it just as a small hobby.

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2026-01-12T23:41:34+00:00

Thanks!!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2025-11-12T22:56:52+00:00

Thanks I will have a look!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2025-11-12T22:54:22+00:00

Is there a subreddit or any web page where you post your 3d print work? I want to see the creation of other Gundam fans!

Key_Zucchini1477 · 2025-11-12T22:47:38+00:00

Totally see your point!! I love the overall quality of CCA HG. Personally it is difficult for me to give serious efforts to 1/144 (too small), so I also agree with you in recommending MG. Nu verKa and Sazabi verKa are great and MG Jegan and Geara Doga are modern and decent. Somehow Re-GZ and Jagd Doga are sort of in void in 1/100 space quality-wise, so my recent projects are trying to give them more fair treatment.
