Gerardo "Jerry" Escobedo
San Antonio, Texas
Jerry finished the Bandai 1/144 scale Unicorn next to a Mayan ziggurat as his own "Gundam-Coatl". After finishing the kit, he marked it with Mexican air force decals and hand-painted the Mayan and Aztec glyphs. The banner is made from "amate," a style of paper used by the Aztecs and Mayans and still used in southern Mexico for art. The base was made from a photo frame with cork for the ground. The pyramid was painted with textured spray paint to simulate stone.
