Asuka discovers...

[mechajunkie]

she reminds me of youmu from touhou
she looks like a gun type to me

oh wow, the resemblance does...(I had to google her). hah.

gun type? I can see that. Just her legs kinda sticks to "Fighter" type like Asuka. I figured I could stray away from repitition. Hmm.

cool!

Hi all,

I guess I must have improved a little bit since I have had time to really work on a custom shinki. Here's a preview...needs to be finalized...I just got excited to share this.

The first amateur version 1 I called "Type Air Strike - Aeris". For version 2.13, my mind is telling me to call it "Nose Dive - Noir/Nos".

Also, I figured since every master has to have their very own shinki, I went ahead and bought my custom shinki an MMS Body (blue)...

More to come!

Wow, such an ambitious project. Good luck with that!

Are those engines from a Messerschmitt Me 262 model kit? No, wait. The shape's different...

The armor is looking great. Is it from jet fighter plastic model?

I've actually adopted them from 2 different 1/48 jet model kits...EA-6A-Warthog and A10-Weasel? The engines were modified to take away from the rounded cylinders and made them more contemporary since it started looking too literal.

I should be painting them and adding finishing touches in a couple days.

Fix'd it for ya.

Thanks sorry.

This is about 80% done.................I still need to wrap up on two sets of jet engines and mini boosters, some missles, guns, and a little surprise for variable modes.

More to come!
