Series: Zeta Gundam / ZZ Gundam

Qubeley (Kyu- Bell- AY) not (Kweb-Lee)

My wife rather likes this machine and since it was her request (and she was feeling a bit sick yesterday) I figured now is a good time to post.

Personally, the Qubeley is one of my all-time favorite Mobile Suits from the Gundam metaverse, mostly because of it's incredibly off-beat design, but secondly because of it's incredible power in the series, and third because the pilot is female. Thankfully, she's not some weak minded, peace loving crybaby -- but instead a scornful, conniving leader with incredible NEWTYPE power -- and a bit crazy.

The machine itself is built for "NEWTYPES" and is piloted by Haman Karn, who has piloted at least one other Newtype machine (Schnee Weiss - a white Rick Dom refitted with extra armor and accompanied by a pod of remote controlled "bits"). Similar to the Schnee Weiss, the Qubeley contains a rear mounted pod containing 10 remote controlled bits. The arms hide a pair of beam sabers which also act as beam weapons. One of the more striking features, the arm mounted wing binders, functions mostly in mass balance control in space, a system labeled (A.M.B.A.C.). Interestingly, there is more than one type of "Qubeley" as the Qubeley MKII's enter limited production in ZZ Gundam with mass produced units (each containing 30 remote controlled bits) coming later.

The white is my favorite however. There is a rabbit head on the left wing binder, which is what my wife requested. She gets the much larger version as well.

Software: Lightwave 3D (modelling/rendering), Hexagon (some UV's), Photoshop (nebulae map/post process)

edit
Some Qubeley background info has been rectified.

Very nice. I've always been a bit of a Haman fan myself. XP She's just such an interesting character. (Which is rare for female characters.) Plus she can fight the Red Comet on more than equal grounds.
