Earthree Core Gundam - Stop Motion Animated Build

It's finally done!

The kit is the HG Earthree Core Gundam - The show is Gundam Build Diver's Re-Rise, the sequel to Gundam Build Divers.

Started on March 6th, this presented so many unique challenges of how to do justice to my favorite gunpla. The transformation I knew from before starting this that I was going to try to do everything I could to recreate the transformation from the show. It ended up being significantly more difficult in practice to angle the camera as oppose to the the animation itself.

The kit is my favorite even if it isn't the best kit, the armor changing gimmick for every core gundam, and the incredible range of armors it's just a really fun kit. It is an important one to me after a friend got me back into building, and my first Core Gundam was build 4 years ago, hence the time travel in the build...

Thank you for watching. PG Zaku 2 starts June 1st. There are other small projects are already under way, and one long term project that isn't a build that is in it's inception.

Thanks for sticking around and for the support between the main builds!

None of this is sponsored, and it is fully supported by my day job, and each build and animation is a passion project.
