And from what I'm seeing here, Zeni used blu tack to keep the limb together. Another solution, but more final, is to use putty/green stuff to wield the parts together.
Awesome, thanks! ^_^ Hopefully I'll be able to identify the different parts better as I start seeing them more. It's funny because I never was really into mecca at all until I got into Shinkis. So I have a lot to learn. o_o

Thx Sequinox.

And yes, just like Shikaze said, 1/144 HG Gunpla fits for limbs (leg armor, arm armor) and back armor if you can thinker a bit with their backpack. The same with weapons and Shikaze said, 1/100 Kotobukiya Frame Arms also fit well.

To be honest the reason I mod them is to protect their fragile hands. But yeah, it ends up much more. Do note that you should pay attention to how the arms and legs socket design. Some of them already have holes and you just need to stuff/widen the hole to make it fit. Some models have different joints and may need some drilling in order to fit for shinkis.

Okay been a long time since my last update. I have three things bugging me hence why I haven't updated for a long time.

1. My mother was admitted to the Hospital because of Meningitis 2 months ago. Shortly after my last update. She was treated in the hospital for a month and last month she was discharged from the hospital. But things aren't looking good. My mother, while physically no problem, mentally, she still can't focus and differentiate between past memories and current timeline. Only can pray she will get better soon.

2. Myself currently struggling with my own condition. Been sick for the last three weeks due to ehaustion and fatique.

3. Imgur has been banned by my provider. And since the majority of my pics over there, yeah....
Fortunately, I still have all the original pic. Just lazy to upload one by one again. Anyway, I'm using Majhost now.

So yeah, first updates since a long time.

Such an eager Eagle isn't she? Anyway,

Fly, My pretty Eagle. FLY!

Nice use of the Wing Zero EW wings! I've never been a fan of those as normal-style wings, given how they're arranged, but by turning them into a set of distinct maneuvering surfaces works a lot better. I also like how you used the leg armor on the engines.

It's fun to see how much people like to add wings, thrusters and the likes to Raptias ^^

Thank you, both of you. I also hope my mom condition will get better too. She is the only one in my family who openly accepted my girls in the family.

Thanks Klin. And yeah, while a lot of people like to upgrade, one thing that a lot of people keep forgetting is how to protect the Engine.
I put the armor there to provide better protection for her since unlike Erica who has multiple Engine and can still flight even if some of them shot, Tear only has two (but powerful) engine.

It's obvious Shik. Raptias is a high speed and high maneuverbility shinki and even plainly stated that her body is configured for High-G combat. So of course.

Besides, she's an Eagle yet she doesn't have wings. It's justify to give her wings :P

Been away from here for quite a while, just.....have had a lot on my mind..........

Anyway, Tear's new config looks great. Not really a fan of Raptias, and never thought of anything from the wing gundam (any variant) as particularly useful for shinki mods, but what you did there with it looks great.
