Gekko (from "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots")
Hey guys!
Here is a small build that I wanted to do for a long time. I hadn't created anything from the MGS franchise until now, which is a shame because it is one of my all time favourites. Even before I was allowed to play them I fell in love with the design of these mechs.
And the Gekko is by far one of the coolest designs. I like REX and RAY a lot, but the Gekko just looks otherworldly. It has elements of the classic Metal Gear design but with those bionic legs and the way it walks and behaves, it has much more in common with an animal. Which is probably the reason they gave it cow noises in the game :D
After finishing the Jehuty, I wanted to continue building some of Yoji Shinkawas work. And when I saw Jakub Rozalski's amazing concept art, I knew I had to build the Gekko.
Therefore I built two different versions: One in grey used in the concept art and one in dark tan that resembles the in-game model.
Additionally, I recreated Jakub's concept art with LEGO Eskimos, because I like the setting and look of it so much.
There is something truly magical about seeing giant mechs in unusual environments.
If you want to build your own Gekko, you can get the instructions here: gum.co/GEKKO
Hope you enjoy!
