Hello. I’m a Japanese hobbyist who enjoys making mechanical-themed works using binder clips.This time, I made Metal Gear REX from Metal Gear Solid, a series I’ve been a big fan of for many years.The build uses 93 silver 15mm binder clips.I especially struggled with the legs, the railgun, the radome, as well as the jaw and torso sections. Because of the structural limitations of binder clips, it’s impossible to perfectly replicate the original design, so I focused on capturing REX’s overall silhouette and presence.I actually built a REX about a year ago as well. The last four images show that earlier version. At the time, it looked much cheaper and less refined. Over the past year, I’ve created many different mechanical pieces, and I was finally able to complete a version that I’m personally satisfied with.Thank you very much for taking the time to look.This post was translated into English using AI.
>>23765590Whew, very cool! How big is it?
>>23765632About 15 cm tall and wide!
I think you're cute
>>23765590That must have taken quite some time! That's good work, anon. What other mecha have you created with binder clips?
>>23766156Thanks! I’m going to upload a photo compilation of some of my past works.You can find my portfolio on TikTok by searching for "hyogoku_rumi".
>>23766362I wanna kiss you
>>23765590That's pretty cool. I'm impressed it can stand, must've been hard to make it stay balanced
>>23766873>>23766951Thanks. It might look a bit unstable, but it actually stands on its own pretty well. Reproducing Rex’s tiptoe-like stance was tricky. I had to rebuild the lower part of the legs from the knees down multiple times, experimenting and tweaking it.
