The Scratch-Built Mech Model Kits of Luca Zampriolo

Ғылым және технология

We're unabashed fans of original mech suit designs as well as garage kits, so we were thrilled to meet concept designer Luca Zampriolo at Comic-Con, who scratch builds scale model mechs and meticulously documents his build and paint process in published art books. He shares with us garage kits he's made of his mecha, which we can't wait to put together!

    I've only found out about your work through this video. It's awesome that you created a book that shows and teaches about creating model kits. I still have not built a model kit but I just bought your book through amazon just because I love learning and creating tactile objects. But also, I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two that would help my profession which is 3d modeling for the game industry. I can't wait for the book to arrive at home. I'll show the book to my coworkers because I'm sure they'll love it. Awesome stuff Luca! :)

    His hands are shaking so badly, must be nervous as hell. And I can definitely see Gundam and Zaku inspiration in his mecha design and the dioramas are straight out of Gunpla competition complete with the little people. I think I'll go buy his book, and if he sells it with the model kit as a bundle, then I'll get it too.

    I used to build models and stuff but felt constrained by my own skills and by the models rigid design and lack of modification. This is the type of thing I'd have loved as a whipper snapper although I did love playing with Technics LEGO and making all sorts of twisted mech robots with 1.5v motors and lights put on them. Hell, I still like playing with LEGO today with my daughter!

    Zampriolo did a workshop some years ago in Italy, during the Lucca Comicon and yes, the he's pretty nervous(it was in italian, so I don't think it's an insecurity with the language). But he's really good at his job(he showed us how he builds the models, the materials he uses and how he paints them, it was really cool), and he's a nice guy, so it was a a good experience :D
