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

[ZeroEdge]

I'm taking a break from working on my Shinki Shelf's kitchen, and thought I'd go back to modding Noir's armor.



Strarf's mecha arms have a bit of a poseability problem, the shoulder joints have limited articulation, so I replaced them with my spare Hi-Nu's upper arm parts. Now, the mecha arms have full range of motion, now if I could get my hands on more articulate clawed hands...

And I built a connector that allows me to join Noir's wing backpack to the Mecha arms (still in progress, might make customized multiples for different packpack units).



Oh, and the kitchen's nearly done, albeit messy...

[ZeroEdge]

I was checking out different parts and wings/backpacks from different gunpla for use in Noir's full armor mod (Zeong's arms, Stargazer's ring, not to mention Freedom's and Strike Freedom's), and to me this looks the best of all.






Strike Noir's striker unit and twin pistols look great on my Noir! Still need something though, and I might have to repaint the Strarf mecha arms as well.

And, I just had to try this out!


Ayu: "Nice! Does it come in pink?"
Maya: "... I feel like doing a pirrhouette for some reason..."

All pics are also used for this week's Shinki Saturdays thread, c/o Mikuo.

Here's the latest in my ongoing Shinki Shelf project.

Commence image dump...


Almost there... so near yet so far...


Rui and Kei turned out to be real couch potatoes. Yoshika's hovering around as always.


Kotatsu's finally complete!


Kitchen still kinda empty, needs a ton of accessories.


Shoji door on the background still under construction.


Most of the girls are hanging around the dining table.


Who would blame them?


My latest figma and my first from the K-On! series, Azunyan!


Kagamiku's chatmate... most probably Konata, judging from her reaction.


Snickers! Lol blatant advertising!


The very hawt KOS-MOS!


Rina's current look; Mercurius' defense bits work well with her.

The place already looks habitable, but more accessories are needed, 'cause my goal is to make it look more like a nice, comfy, "home-sweet-home" for everyone, including the gunpla that might wanna visit. Oh, and I'll be putting up more posters and photos (cbox and bsw avvies) on the walls soon.

Hurrah for KOS-MOS!

Nice looking set-up you have going there.

[Lock Cade]

Just got caught up looking at all of your pics since I've last posted in here. Very, very awesome! I like Noir's newly modded armor.

Gosh dang it, I sooooooooo want Figma KOS-MOS now...

Been working on custom armors for a while, but time has been constrained by work, so progress has been slow. Noir's is still in the works, along with those of Maya's and Rina's.


Here's Maya with Stargazer parts, still not quite satisfied with it yet... so I decided to tear up my custom Gundam 00 Seven Sword/Raiser and use its arms and legs for her, no worries since I'm planning on getting another Gundam 00 Seven Sword for more weapons! Pics in the near future...


And here's Rina with a combination of parts (Strike Noir's Legs; Stargazer's thighs; arms, blaster and back unit from Throne Drei; plus one blaster from Throne Zwei). It's gonna look awesome after painting!

Noir got her leg armor upgraded with Seven Sword's knee armor and GN Katars (in the background, behind Rina). Painting is gonna be a problem, since the weather's not on my side right now...

[ZeroEdge]

Here's Maya's current set-up...



Finally used Gundam 00 arm and leg parts and kept the Stargazer back unit. I painted some of the parts already, but I still need yellow paint...

BTW, I've already began to make a short hair piece for Maya, look here if you're interested: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1468&p=24533#p24533

[ZeroEdge]

Here's Rina's custom armor, now with paint...





I think I might have outdone myself with the fencer's custom armors. Back then I didn't think I was going to make them some because I already like how their original armor setup looks, but was swayed away after seeing custom works from fg-site.

So, here are my fencers, Rina and Maya...









Maya's Stargazer ring is going to be painted, but I still haven't decided on the general color scheme and design (in the works)...

Amazing, I didn't think Shinki/Gundam customs could look that good. The ones I had previously seen weren't more than kitbashes.

What scale/kind of Gundam kits/figures do you use?

[jokerjester]

dude,

I registered to this site just so that I can say this...\

Good Job dude on your customs...

i got a scrap arnval from a trade and i want to put gundam parts on her...

will the 1/100 scale work on her bod or are they too large for her.

can you give us a tutorial on how to attach the gundam legs to a shinki body (via the swivel joint in the legs). Also, how do you attach the shoulder armor to the shinki body...

lastly the arnval that I got do not have the back armor (yeah all i got was a body, extra hands and hair) do you have any tips on how to attach gundam parts at here back? maybe you can post some pics?

Anyway good job bro!
