[TheHelmosEngine]

[sirsoda1]

nice work

[ZandurOfBronte]

I love your terrain.

[TheHelmosEngine]

Thanks man. Better stuff coming soon. Working on my scale lighted city at the moment.

[TheHelmosEngine]

Thanks man. I haven't posted any of my movie footage yet but hopefully it will dwarf this stuff. Thanks for the feedback though.

[Myuutantobasuta]

wow well this is at least as good as most of the Gunpla commercials they made in the 80s,

[TheHelmosEngine]

Oh I forgot once you hot glue the rocks in place on the dried plaster cloth make sure to fill the gaps in between each one with a plaster or rough plaster to simulate the natural places between them. Or you can use small rock molds or broken pieces off of a large rock mold.

[TheHelmosEngine]

The ground is mainly just flat foam board with brown paint laid down and model railroad turf glued on top of it. If you really want to build small scale cool sets just look in a model railroad building book. That's where I started and I can make significantly better creations than this now. (eventually they will be posted with my upcomin movie.) Thanks for the comment and I hope this helps.

6. Using two different shades of brown or gray for brown use burnt sienna and raw umber I think (get these from a craft store) dry brush on a coat of the darker color first (heavy but not coating entirely over the black) and then a lighter coat with the lighter color. After all is dry dry brush a very light coat of titanium white over the prominent parts sticking out to simulate rock bleaching.

4. Once the molded rocks are done position them on the plaster cloth and hot glue them on. Try to get as many different molds as you can and not to repeat the same mold too many times too close together or you will end up with something similar to what I made here. You can make much better I'm sure if you are patient

5. Lay down a base coat of paint. You want it to be darker than the rest will be so go with either black, or dark brown or gray.

[TheHelmosEngine]

Oddly enough this background was my first try at making a background, and it was made by:

1. Mapping out the base of the structure with hot glued bent cardboard strips

2. Covering the strips with plaster cloth

3. Making rock molds out of silicon layered thin over rocks and then taking that mold once dry and filling it with plaster

[strikefreedom4]

how do you build the background?And the ground?

[TheHelmosEngine]

Thanks, I think I can do a whole lot better now, but since I'm in production of cooler stuff, I can't upload until I'm done. Cooler stuff is coming though. Thanks for watching!

[Katsuhono]

Cool stop motion and amazing Background

[TheHelmosEngine]

Thanks, I appreciate the praise!

[Deathscythehell85]

Wow!!! best gundam fight I seen yet.you did great job man.

[beanbucket]

the sound of giant machine guns needs more static. right now it sound too cleany and even.

and is there any way you can get more wide angle in the shots? in might make these guys super stompy.

otherwise, perty sweet. :)

[briankong196]

wow where did you get the sound

[TheHelmosEngine]

some I made with garageband by editing and modulating synthesizer keys, and the others I used as clips from imovie, garageband, or from audio I recorded

[TheHelmosEngine]

but for this one I mostly used imovie clips I think

[hika112isback]

this shit is tight

cool vid man

[TheHelmosEngine]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

[frozenhiphop09]

this vid rocks!!! ^_^

[TheHelmosEngine]

Thank you friend

[frozenhiphop09]

if you like, check out my stop-motion vids. there not as good as this one, but there still cool.

[TheHelmosEngine]

the eye on a pg zaku II lights up and can move around (or you can use an art program to edit it in. the lightning can be edited in using imovie. Yeah bullet holes would be neat too. I might do that next time.

[joshuagundamu]

coool! hey how did you do the eye and the electrical discharges. you might edit in some bullet holes too.
