Description
I was clearing up some of my old stuff when I found this in one of my boxes. It's a replica I made of that matrix armored personnel unit which I never got to finish and has totally forgotten about. This 8.5 inch model I build from scratch out of cardboard, plastic tubes, copper wires, erasers and electrical tape bonded together with lots of super glue.I just thought I'd photograph it before it begins to fall apart.

Yup, but never got to finish it, I'm afraid.

once i heard, theres no artwork that is finished, otherwise it is dead...
even the pyramids, or the mona lisa, still change its form, by weather or dedicated art repair man...
just dont be afraid, when the APU calls you not to finish it, but to refine it

Is there anything you can't do?! My God - the most talented guy I know. Amazing stuff - love the details and for saying made from scratch, it's even more incredible.

Funny Thing: Some guy in Canada is trying to make a "working" mecha(for a Battlebot style fight event(s)) like this and made with pretty much the same materials...

Give it a shot! All you need is patience and lot's of free time, both of which I don't get too much lately.

Parts? Whatever I get my hands on.
This one's made out of cardboard, copper wire, electrical tape, paper clips, cotton bud sticks (plastic), rubber erasers and some discarded speaker wire.

Ginawa mo yan sa mga cardboard, eraser, electric tape at plastic tube?! I do not believe it!!! Mukhang plastic talaga na nakikita mo sa mga toy models. Sana tinapos mo x_x

Malaking tulong yung hobby acrylic paint para matakpan yung cardboard. Nagmukhang plastic nga.
Tagal na kasi 'to, nakalimutan ko na nga. Siguro pag may panahon matapos ko wag lang masira agad.
