ZeroEdge's Mods: Harute Otoha (04/01/17)

[bang04]

Great Centaur

custom lance is very cool

[Kurihara]

So great that I do not know what to say. Your hands are made of gold, as her armor set, I swear!

[Caterwaul]

Wow!
Very nice

[ZeroEdge]

I'm back to wipe off almost half a year's worth of dust from my thread (and to let everyone know that I'm still alive )! Though I don't post as much as back then, I still do a lot behind the scenes... meaning new stuff for all nine of my girls! For now, here's part one of my latest photodump.

===========================================================================================================================================

FIrst off, Rui has a new toy to play with...





Rui loves looooong guns!

===========================================================================================================================================

Next, some shots of Laika and her variable gear.





She's bound to get armor upgrades soon (most probably from a Zabanya) but for now, here's a shot of her and what she discovered on a training run this morning.



Dumb camera keeps focusing on the background so had to use the flash... lame .

===========================================================================================================================================

Griselda vistory pose! Just gotta love how balanced she is!







===========================================================================================================================================

Now, both fencers received new gear and each now has a specialization, plus Gundam Age-1 Razor heels for a more feminine look.

Maya, MMS Type Wing Guard - ARROW

Custom made longbow for delivering a wide range of long-distance punishment from precise armor piercing snipe shots to shotgun-type mid-range blasts. Not to menthin she has Nu Gundam's fin fannels for both offense and defense.









===========================================================================================================================================

Rina, MMS Type Wing Guard - BLADE

CQC to mid range is her area, using Age-1 Razor's swords and four colliders that also serve as shields.









===========================================================================================================================================

Now, we have Yuuko with one of MG Unicorn's bazookas.







I had to replace her arm parts (the old ones have loose joint issues). However, she received a bonus in built-in vulcans on both arms.

===========================================================================================================================================

That leaves Kei, Ayu and Noire (changed from 'Noir' to make the name feminine) as they are the ones with the most changes received. A lot more shots coming soon to make up for my laziness (laziness in posting, not modding mind you )!

[Shikaze]

I think some of my girls are beggining to get upgrade envy....

[Klinkin]

Wow. Just...wow. All I've done in the past few months is give my Eukrante a radome and bought a bunch of missiles for my Raptias. I must say, you've done really well; compared to your earlier work, your girls look a lot less like Shinkis with tacked-on GunPla parts and more like finished products.

Now, I just checked here and Kotobukiya is hiring sculpture artists and freelance concept artists. I've said this before, but GO GET YOURSELF HIRED. You're producing professional-quality work.

[mystika]

wow your work is really impressive, i agree with klinkin that they look like finished products . they are just so awesome.

[royalpain88]

Super awesome. My modding skills and lack of molla in my wallet (darn holes in my pocket) are NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS YOURS! I bow down to the master of shinki modding.

[ZeroEdge]

Thanks for all the compliments, but y'all ain't seen nothin' yet!

Continuing with the photodump, here's Kei with new leg armor and more swords.







Kei also has the longest sword in my entire arsenal, befitting a Swordmaster.







=====================================================================================================================

Ayu is Type Heavy Metal, and now she most certainly looks like it!









Gunpla Builders Parts MS Radome set, modded into super loud speakers (as if Ayu isn't loud enough as it is )







=====================================================================================================================

And finally, we have Noire (changed from Noir, as French feminine names end in 'e', or so I've heard... nothing to do with a certain tsundere anthropomorphic form of a certain game console ). She's the one who took the longest to mod because of my indecisiveness (tons of ideas all mixed up) and also due to parts availability and funding (I use mostly bootlegs in my mods to save on cost, but ONLY for modding. Buy original stuff for collecting. I don't promote bootlegs mind you! ) Now I won't list all of the gunpla I murdered for her armor (knowledgeable people can pretty much identify them all anyway) so without further ado...

Noire, MMS Type Archdemon-Dreadnought









Backpack has four Kshatriya binders with six funnels each. Also has Noire's four GN drives.



Front binders open to reveal more funnels, counting up to 48 in all.







Custom-built gun-daggers (with holsters behind Noire's waist)



Feet from Astray Gold Frame Amatsu (took lotsa time to strip away the gold plating using household bleach)



I screwed the MMS action base onto a plastic cutting board. Nothing else I have is strong enough to bear all that weight.



Custom Sinanju shield with mounted gatling gun (actually a cheap working ball-point pen I got from a novelty shop )



The front binders with mounted giant blades make them look all the more sinister







=====================================================================================================================

That's it for now, hope y'all enjoyed the showcase. I got some weapons left for painting and some armor parts left to buy for Laika so expect more pics to come (but don't hold your breath). Until next time!

[mystika]

wow those last 3 are awesome i love the color scheme you chose for kei, Ayu look really cool with her speakers, fitting for a type heavy metal and Noire is gorgerous and creepy at the same time. a look very fitting for a formerly Starf
