looking for Drawing / Plans

I was wondering if anyone had plans or drawings for any of the craft used in the Gatchaman series. I'd like to try to make some models for myself. I would like to make a 1:30th scale Phoenix later this winter.

Hey there! An interesting endeavor, to say the least. Here is a link to a page with Gatch mecha model sheets. It has the original Godphoenix, all of the Gatch I mecha and most for Gatch II. Here it is: http://www.anime-cel.com/gatchamaniac/mecha.htm .
There you go!

Well I already know the Phoenix will be used as a submarine (I have sevral subs in the basment now). If I can do it, I want to motorize the landing gear. Just the tought of it running around on a mock-up landing strip would be a site. I also plan to make the lower missle bays operate and fire. I want to set it next to a friends 1:30th scale SkyDiver.

At the moment, I am working on the FS1 and making it the FS1-02 (and for thoses that don't know what that is, it's the Flying Sub). It's a 2' wide hull.

Thanks for the link, i'll chech it out when I'm done writing this post.

I was just going to say something else, and now I forgot........

Oh well

Just looked at the site. Damb! Why couldn't there have been side straight on drawings from the sides and such rather than them angled ones. But there better than nothing, unless someone out there has detailed drawing collecting dust......

Because drawing them at angles is so much cooler-looking than just side-on. ^_^ You could try going to Ang's Gatch Link list here: http://www2.angulang.org.uk/ and seeing what the various picture sites have. (Check them all out, each has a couple mech shots, and eventually you should find what you want. Another site that definitely has pics of the mecha is Gerry's collection of the ld covers at: http://www.beckoningcat.com/gachld.htm . It takes a while to download the files, though. Anyways, you should find some more viewpoints that help you.
Hope that helps,
