3D Modeling, Printing, and Painting a Custom Gundam!
We attend our first Gunpla and mecha modelmaking convention–NewType’s Buildcon in San Francisco–and meet some incredible modelmakers who’ve brought a variety of builds. Artist Kaz Adams‘ Janus build was especially striking, since she designed, 3D modeled, 3D printed, and finished this detailed model, essentially making her own kit. We chat with Kaz about her design process and how she took an initial sketch to a fully realized figure.

Couldn’t agree more with the media switching approach to design. That looks like it was a pretty lonely convention, though 😬
That’s a beautiful model. Thanks for showing it to us and thanks to Kaz for building it.
