Moving Gunpla & Figure

Home: Gyeonggi, Korea, Republic of

The basic plastic models once assembled can only stand in the set positions. I wanted to make the models into more than a statue. I figured that if I was able to transform the models into a moving statue I would enjoy them a lot more. The project remodeled a plastic model kit with a servo, LED, USB camera, controlled by Arduino Board and Raspberry Pi Board. Also, we used the Gundam Plastic model, Zaku Plastic model and others for the display of the project.

I am a programmer, and My hobby is Plastic Modeling. I am interested in motorizing plastic models like Gunpla & Figures. So, I develop motorizing and technical item now. My goal is to create things that allow anyone to learn and play with technology in an engaging and fun way.

What Inspired You to Make This?

When I was young, I dreamed to be pilot of Gundam. And I made so many Gunplas, but it didn't move. So, I developed motorized Gunpla with Arduino board.
