Mysterious Cities of Gold - The Golden Condor

[RionE20]

Here's a model I've been working on. It's based off of an 80's cartoon called "The Mysterious Cities of Gold" this is a model of the golden condor a gigantic bird made of solid gold...and a few gears. What do you think?

I was hoping to one day make a life action film based on this show, but someone else bought the rights. They are called Movie Plus

Ahh, pure nostalgia. This was one of my favorites :)

Nice job there, although I think you could have followed the lines of the original Condor a bit more closely. Particularly the wing tips and the belly.

I so remember this!

I agree with Foo, the head doesnt seem to have the right line shape to it, nice start though.

Nice to see another project by you!
Cool subject! How much of this show are you going to build?

[RionE20]

Well that depends, I would really like to work on trailers mainly, I guess I'm more of a video buff than a 3D buff. I'm working on a fan made trailer now. Should be on youtube before too long.

Wowie wow!! I was just thinking of this series! Keep up the good work, i'd love to see this fleshed out all the way!

Here is a quick test animation of the moving parts of the condor, I haven't gotten the feet down right because in the series they just weirdly disappear inside the bird.
