Hyper Weapon ハイパーウェポン 2014

Makoto Kobayashi has designed several 'Mobile Suits' for famed Anime Series Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam (a sequel of Zeta Gundam). The OVA aired in Japan between March 1, 1986 and January 31,1987 with a total of 47 episodes. It is likely that a few of these machines will be featured in this years' installment of Hyper Weapon. The "Hyper Weapon" series of books - originally published by Model Art - features various sketches and CGI Artwork of Kobayashi's Design Work as well as fantastic photos of Models and Dioramas. Last year Model Graphix started to continue the series with "Hyper Weapon 2013S" (sold out already).

For those of you interested in giant robots and mechanical design: This is for you! Highly recommended!!!
