Pictures of the model
Name: Prototype Artillery Mobil suit Guntank Rx75-4
Pilots: Hayato Kobayashi and Kai Shiden
Height: 15,6 m
Full Weight: 80t
Ground speed: 70 kph
Driving system:
Like a real army tank.
Material:
Lunar Alloy (Titanium)
Weapons: Cannon 180mm, Quad Bopp Rocket Launcher 40mm
Notes:
Guntank is with Gundam and Guncannon one of the most famous Mobil suit of Gundam saga. It's very particular because it's the missing link between a tank and a human-shape robot. In these days here in Italy there is a new Manga about Gundam. The author is Kakuhisa Kondo a famous mangaka and artist. I will upgrade this model adding all the details that are missing in the original version.

Technical notes:
Dimensions: points 46.016 polygons 29.705
The head has: points 1.916 polygons 1.499
Techniques: Very simple! I used only simple shape and lots of extrude and bevel commands.
What lacks: Sign and write on the surfaces and details.
At this moment the model is the same of the 1979's anime. A revised version will come soon
My biggest problems: I had no problems because I used a real Bandai plastic model of the Mobil suit as reference.

The original and the revised robot
The first picture comes from the anime of the 1979. The other comes from che manga of Kazuhisa Kondo, now published in Italy were I live.
