Klinkin's Shinki Lab: Updated for the holidays!
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 10:38 pm
Well, I'm finally making one of these threads. I've had my Shinki for over two years now, and I've made more than one custom, so I might as well show them off. So, to start, here are the two cute little gynoids that are front and center on one side of my overcrowded display shelf: Eukrythæ and Æeta. In order of acquisition, let me first introduce Eukrythæ:
Eukrythæ
Frame: Magic Market MM08.SR MMS Type Siren
Armor: Customized MMS Type Siren/Delta Kai hybrid
My first Shinki, 'Rythæ is the figure that's gotten the most love out of my collection, though Æeta's a close second. I've given her a much heavier frame than the original Eukrante series, along with heavier weaponry and an AWACS dome. Her preferred weapon is her Kotobukiya modular linear rifle.
Here she is fully armored. Aside from the obvious Delta Kai parts, her wings have been augmented with Valkyrie wing sections, she has a visor below her crest, and a custom antenna array on the right side of her head.
Showing off her new and improved wingspan. I'm a big fan of big wings, even at this relative scale. Also, her legs are digitigrade, another aesthetic I'm fond of.
Rear shot of the backpack. The original Eukrante leg armor pieces have been re-purposed as engine cowlings.
And no Eukrante-derivative model would be complete without a Tempest. 'Rythæ's Tempest is similar to the original, but with a high mega cannon barrel added for increased firepower.
Æeta's pictures to come shortly! After her, I've got several more figures I need to photograph, as well as some WIP shots of the pair helping me build some models. I apologize for the lighting issues; I'm working primarily with natural light, which gets finicky. Lastly, for the record, æ is pronounced like a hard "A" with a tiny bit of a hard "E" at the end. As some of you may have noticed, I'm a fan of dipthongs, Greek letters, accents, and general cokebottles.
