I am proud to present my minifigure scale LEGO Gundam, now live on LEGO Ideas!

I spent over 100 hours designing this replica of the ZGMF X20-A Strike Freedom Gundam, following many blueprints, references, and models to ensure maximum accuracy. I also worked to keep the piece count as low as possible, ending up at 1979 pieces, a reference to the release year of Gundam. Standing at an impressive 42 cm / 16.5 inches tall, this model is minifigure scale (1:44).

This model features 35 points of articulation and uses non-slip rubber foot pads to enable many epic poses. It also uses ratchet hinges, a sturdy Technic core, and fully legal building techniques to make it as robust as possible, while still managing to fit in a detailed cockpit with enough room for the pilot, Kira Yamato.

I used many unique pieces, like ice picks for the chest vents, harpoons for the V-fin, and lightweight propeller blades in the wings to keep the centre of gravity over the feet for more stability. Flexible rubber connectors allow the front leg guards to move with the legs, enabling an accurate range of motion.

This model also features combinable beam rifles and sabers, just like in the anime.

I loved creating this model and am so grateful for your votes, comments, and support.

Thank you very much!

Does a giant squid with robot legs count as a mech? I'll leave it to you to decide. More coming soon! Instructions available on request.

I really enjoy how well I made these and their articulation points. I felt that the mechs needed some companions, so I created the Shepherds and their corresponding load out kits. They're not 100% functional in a way I want, but boy howdy I enjoy them! I want to make more and create a proper scene for each. Next is to create lore for each.

Devil Gundam from Mobile Fighter G Gundam is one of my all-time favorites. Official toys are pretty limited, though. I collect them all (including the BB Senshi and both MIA releases).

Back in November, while making "minifigs with giant arms on their backs," I built a Devil Gundam homage. It looked cool in photos for IG, but in person, the frame was too thin and fragile to play with.

In February, I created the "S-Core" mech frame to quickly build various mechs, including Gundam homages.

I occasionally tried tackling Devil Gundam again, but kept getting stuck at the first hurdle: the feet.

The massive yellow feet are iconic. Their densely packed yellow toes with red tips give the robot an eerie, organic feel.

In my figure-scale build, I used 3 minifigure hands as toes. That worked for that size, but for S-Core scale, they looked way too thin and undernourished.

Also, I only had a 2x2 space for the foot connections—3x2 would be too wide. Squeezing six toes into a 2x2 space seemed nearly impossible.

Then, the Pick a Brick (PAB) wall at Taiwan's LEGO Certified Store changed everything.

Last month, while setting up my Sauron Mech at Lalaport Nangane @lego_lcstw_sunkids , I grabbed some parts, including 200 of part 26047 (1x1 plate with handle). After that, I kept thinking about how to use them.

Yesterday, I figured out a technique to stack 26047s into a 2x2 footprint. After that breakthrough, the rest of Devil Gundam came together in no time.

Fiddling with parts in hand while stumbling upon new ideas—that’s what makes LEGO building so much fun.

Inspired by your comments, my son updated his last mech to look more like Adam Smasher. He’s looking for a better head, so suggestions are welcome!

These are some robots I have made out of lego for lore

A mech with a color scheme inspired by the Mars Mission sets

E como sempre gostei de Power Rangers/Super Sentai, ficou difícil não comparar com seus mechas. Então eu quiz fazer algo parecido (de ter várias combinações), mas com as peças que tem aqui em casa só deu pra fazer o que tá na segunda imagem. Alguém poderia me dar dicas de sets (originais ou não) ou de peças pra eu conseguir fazer o que quero?

I used the cockpit of the 1st Igor iron man suit and heavily modified it etc but I do not know how to start at the legs.

Any tips and tricks?

How should I name him?

Maybe the head is a little big?

Finished my mech

I love TitanFall, I love BT and all the Titans designs so I decided to make my own Mech from that universe. I hope you guys love it or like it

It's a mid bassed armor Mech.

Unsuprisingly, a Lancer-based mech build, based on my chosen LL0 loadout so far.

'Cascade' leans more towards defense and firepower rather then mobillity. Final image in the Gallery is the arnaments displayed loosely. For those who are curious, I'll put a quick screengrab of the loadout in the comments.

After a ton of planning and tweaking, here’s my take on the iconic mobile suit! Went for clean lines, good paneling, and solid posability while staying as close as possible to the classic proportions.

I really liked his use of the red minifig hands for detail. My only criticism was all the one stud connections. His response was, “Dad, it’s for display, not to be played with!” 😂

My ‘Baryonyx’ Mecha Moc next to some of my Aircraft I call them the ‘Twister’ & The ‘Star-Chaser’ try to guess which is which ;)

Hey everyone, just want to share my LEGO Gipsy Danger idea has reached 10k supporters. Happy to say it is the first and furthest we got to tell LEGO we want a LEGO set x Pacific Rim.

What is next? Look out for a final decision from LEGO near end of the year to find out if they wanted to bring this idea to life. Also, this should be the year with 2 Gipsy Danger ide. The other Gipsy Danger is from and by @cosmicnomad. We are breaking records!

Godzilla x Pacific Rim ? How cool would it be !!!
