This is the GP01 (Zephyranthes) from the Gundam 0083: Stardust Memories OVA series. This is actually my favorite Gundam pretty much ever. Basically the same as the original Gundam with a sleeker body and upgraded technology. Not much on frills and firepower.

For references on this 3d mesh I used the GFF mostly. This is easily seen in areas like the lower leg, the back of the hand, the feet and the shoulder verniers where it doesn't match the MG version at all. Also in the rear of the waist where there exists a weapons carrier (like for the GM Command). Although the original design is by Shoji Kawamori, the MG and GFF were conceptualized by Hajime Katoki. However, Katoki's influence in the concept (in the MG manual) isn't recreated faithfully in the MG kit as it is in the GFF figure and so I went with mostly the latter in the end... though the MG was a great help. Finally, the weapon being held by the GP01 at the moment is the XBR-L-83d Beam Rifle used by the GP01 in the PS2 game "Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space".

Couple of errors that I don't have time to fix as I have to go to Sendai for the weekend: There was to be a dust effect on the ground, but the CPU was actually going into it's 40th hour of rendering so I cut it off since there's a blizzard due to hit soon, the beam sabers in the back shouldn't go into the upper body the way they are above and the right leg cuff is disappearing into the ankle. Very strange....

Anyway

Software: Lightwave3D (modelling, rendering), Hexagon (some UV's), Freehand (logos), Photoshop (post).

and...

Gundam is (c) Bandai/Sunrise/Sotsu Agency

Have a good weekend! :wave:

GP01: Zephyranthes by *sandrum is top notch modeling. Just one from an incredible gallery, this Gundam unit shows the talent and dedication he puts into his art. ( Featured by `Aeires )

This is absolutely amazing.The amount of effort,dedication,and attention to detail is very evident in this.The use of the GFF is effective and,once combined with your skills and native style,the end result is completely breathtaking.

The only question I have is about the cannon that the unit is holding.Was that with the GFF,because I haven't seen its' figuration yet.Also,thank you for putting in the reasons why some things looked out of place.Excellent job and thank you for sharing your work with us

Speaking of "Encounters," you mean it's actually unlockable in there? Totally gives me a reason to dust off the PS2 if it is! Care to share a "How To"?

Oh yeah, and Fav'd. I've always been a fan of Zephyranthes, too!

Hey, question, your stuff is amazing, have you ever been picked up by companies who normally need designs for covers for say gaming posters, marketing and promotional needs, this is really cool!!!

Amazingly done! The GP01 is my favorite as well, and I love how you did this.

However, I always thought the long beam rifle was used by the (never completed) GP-04 Gerbera?
