Neon Genesis Evangelion - Unit 01

[3D LEGO]

Normally, I can find the builder for various MOCs and whatnot, but alas I have found one that I have never seen mentioned anywhere. This might in part be due to the fact that it is still under construction. But I must say that the proportions are really close and the features are true to the original and the colors are perfect. And its only the bust area right now which has been completed, yet it is fully possible just like the real one. The scale is almost to minifig, but is still slightly on the small size as the eyes on the real one are as big as people.

Otherwise a truly epic recreation!

Unit 01 from the Anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion:

Note the Minifig: This gives a good idea of the epic size of this thing as compared to humans.

To the builder:

I am sorry if I spoiled your surprise.

My one piece of advice would be to lengthen the shoulder blades as they are not tall enough.

Ha! This is great, I love this anime and I've been watching it a lot recently so this was a pleasant surprise. It looks like some of the details are kinda off but I'm pretty sure he did that on purpose to give it his own look.

Wow, that is an awesome-looking MOC, even if it's a WIP, that is already looking great and indeed promises to be an epic creation. It's quite amazing how the builder was able to achieve those tricky slopes and angles.

When I first discovered this on Brickshelf, it reminded me of a custom minifig I saw recently which was also based on the series. I could not remember were I saw it, but I remember it being in a contest. Well after much searching I found it!

Ignore the troll, normally it would be human wearing that or that alien girl...

Now all we need is a head shot from in front of "the bridge" and a skeptical Shinji in Plug Suit having an emotional breakdown in the foreground in the middle of a crisis. (Fans of the series will understand what I mean by this)

This is truly one epic MOC!

I love the series and the 2 rebuild movies (looking SO forward to the third one!)

I was planning to build EVA-02 for my city layout, but rendered it impossible in a scale I could still manage. So yeah, this is really marvellous!

[Fuzzylegobricks]

Nice!

It's a good start, I liked the Eva's especially 01, looks like it's going to be big anyway,

Wonder if anyone's done any 'Gundam' or even the 'Decimators' from 'Orguss 02'?.

There is always this: RX-78

or this smaller, but very possible one:

RX-78

And last be not least, we can all dream big!:

Thats some mighty legs...

How big?

But back to Unit 01, I think dark stone gray would suit it better than the medium stone gray. Just a thought.

I'm not surprised that it's still a WIP. The amount of purple parts needed is clearly the biggest hurdle.

[Iysk]

How is this WIP now? I've been waiting for an update foreverrrrrr

[Sirens-of-Titan]

Excellent creation! At first it looked like a Warhammer hive tyrant, but I see your inspiration is quite different. Nonetheless a very smooth and pleasant look and a masterfully sculpted face; even in bricks the amine style is evident!

[Captain Bayonet]

Loving that Mech. Nice job on the Orc pilot, great combo, one question though. Are the torso and legs custom?
