Well, that's one reason why I didn't use 00's shoulder armor on Noir, 'cause I don't want anything limiting her poseability. And if you look at fg-site, modders use the upper arm connector to attach pieces that give off the look of shoulder armor, and not on the shoulder itself, and back-mounted pieces for that same purpose. To do that you'll have to cut out a bit of plastic off the 00 upper arm part to connect said connector. I don't plan on doing that anytime soon, 'cause i have the twin GN Drives for that reason.cyclenut wrote:
The only downside is that she can't raise her left arm past parallel to the ground so I didn't make a right shoulder piece because I didnt want to hamper her weapon arm articulation.

Here's what I did. I took mikuo's advice to add a weapon to her right arm. I used the gundam's hip armor (the one with the holes in it to fit the gunsword thing). I glued it to the right arm armor so it does not mess with the articulation. So it's kinda like a light armor shoulder piece or something.
I also took the other hip piece and glued it to her left leg so that she could pull out the other sword to dual wield.

Lastly, I took the other blue shoulder armor piece and flipped it. Cleaned out the internals to make it a pistol holster, which fits her pistol quite nicely.

I still have to touch-up paint the epoxy welds, but other than that, I think she's done. If anyone else has any other ideas, let me know.

Re: Cyclenut's Collection
Nicely done! I might just do the hip mod you did there (after I make a couple of new pistols for Noir).
