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.
