Hello!
Recently, I've finished Metal Gear Rex model. It's resin and with help of LEGO Bionicle parts I made it articulated. Parts vere poor casted but I managed to replace some of them and put Rex together. And here it is...

great work
than you for sharing.
Very nicely done. Metal Gears never really excited me as mecha designs, but you've done a really nice job there. The articulation is a great idea! :thumbsup:
looks great, ive played all the MGS games on Playstation :thumbsup:
does the model come with a 1/72 Liquid snake figure?

Thanks :) This is resin kit with no figures.
Nice one! Does this kit come with the articulated (ball) joints, or is this a personal addition?
How big is this one? I have seen pics of the 1:100 Kotobikuya kit, and that's already a massive thing!?
Ball joints came from LEGO HERO FACTORY :) This REX is about 25 cm high , 18 cm long (25 cm with railgun) and 20 cm width. It's pretty heavy too.
Very nice and clever mod! I experimented with doll ball joints on a walking tank some time ago, and saw your extras... ;)
Great work (literally)! :thumbsup:
REX is my favourite Metal Gear, and it's also one of my favourite mecha designs. Love to have a model of it myself, but yours is a good close second. I like your colour scheme, as well as the hard work with the ball joints. Thanks for sharing.
