After burning my 4ft Freedom Gundam paper showcase model it was time to take things to the next level and create a bigger and better replacement. This 7ft Gundam was a real test of my paper engineering capabilities. It consisted of 1,200 unique parts on 750 sheets of paper, which took roughly 250 hours to design and build.

I started at the head and worked my way down through the rest of the body parts.
Jetpack details.
Upper body and hip skirts assembled.
I built an inner skeleton out of foam board for additional support.
Feet being assembled.
Legs being assembled with several layers of parts on top of each other.
Gundam standing without arms attached. Keeping the upper back open until the end allowed me to make adjustments to its inner skeleton.
I’m usually very focused when working on one of these big projects, but whenever my younger brother shows up things get humorous and off task very quickly.
My lovely wife showing the Gundam some love.
Whatever I work at I do it with all my heart for God’s glory and for my personal fulfillment.
The source of my inspiration and guidance.
Christalin from my 65 Roses project got a chance to meet the 7FT Gundam. Her amazement was priceless.
