Heavyarms: Arms 3

I forgot to get the physical knife on the Heavyarms'...arms. I only recently thought about how it has some similarity to Exia's in location (but that might be about it). So starting it quick while working on some textures.

Heavyarms: Legs

Finally getting time to get to the leg sections. Some of the details are defintely on the drawing board and I'll probably go back and address the misalignments.

Heavyarms: Arms 2

I thought the detail was simplistic, but I forgot that the entire missile supports internally take extra time to model out. Still feels like more can be done.

Heavyarms: Arms 1

Starting on the shoulders and arms. Just a basic blocking out for now.

Heavyarms: Waist

Trying to also hammer out the waist section. Pretty simple compared to other MS' so trying to fill some detail is a bit hit and miss in terms of "fit".

Heavyarms: Body 2

Quick test to see how things are turning out. Defintely a tune up on all of the details is required.

Heavyarms: Body 1

The body is not busier than other mobile suits, but the guns are supposed to be exposed so worked on adding those bits.

Heavyarms: Head

Generally the head appears to be coming along. I have some thoughts on the Katoki version but in the end I didn't want to deviate too far for just the head.

Heavyarms: Start

I feel like the wing gundams have been done to death... but I've not made them myself so here goes the head start

Virgo: Texture 1

Trying to wrangle these textures for some number of days. I'm still getting closer, but I'm feeling that some of this is a little off.

Virgo: Beam Canon and bits

Working on the cables (probably too long) and the generator stuffs as well as the bit well placements.

Virgo: Beam Cannon and detailing

Shoulders are kind of there and now working on changing the detail a bit to reflect virgo specific detail.

Virgo: Placeholders

Moving forward a little bit and setting some placehodler geometry where some of the changes are for Virgo or Mercurius. I'll refashion the Tallgeese specific stuff to be more Virgoesque. I'm not sold on the shoulder stuff yet.

Virgo: Body 2

Used some detail that some of the tiny Virgo figures seem to have that I've seen around, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to keep bumping back the tallgeese detail on the torso. The legs I'll start next, probably.

Virgo: Body

I think maybe scaling back some of the more Mercurius/Vayeate extremes of their bodies to something that resembles a hybrid of them and the leo would probably work, so going in that direction.

Virgo: Start

We'll see how far diddling with this mesh takes us with the Virgo. Starting on the head with familiar properties.

Mercurius / Vayeate

I feel like they are mostly ok as-is. The hands/manipulators could be worked at a bit and maybe a bit more fleshing out of the EM shielding for the Mercurius is in order.

Vayeate / Mercurius

Trying to see where they stand with each other. I think some of these parts could use some extra detailing.

Vayeate: Backpack 2

Still some backpack bits I forgot until now so I'll get back to that. Also the rail that connects to the weapons arm in the back of the chest isn't there yet. The cannon is mostly ok.

Vayeate: Generator

Backpack is coming along and it seems mostly ok, but I wanted to make sure it didn't look all cheesy the way the Asshimar's MS version appears: like a cheese block. So trying to iron out some actual edges.

Mercurius: Armament

I've at least managed to get the basics of the legs and armament in place. But the original designs look so generic that probably adding some detail is in order. The beam gun is a stripped down ore-gun weapon while the shield is an in-place shield gun from the Leo.

Mercurius/Vayeate: Waist

Placeholder waist section in the same way the arms are added. Mostly it looks similar to the Tallgeese as I'm sure the series meant it to do so. But with some changes here and there, really minor stuff.

Mercurius/Vayeate: Arms

Some placeholder arms based on Tallgeese. I may need to work on the elbow armor to round it out a bit and turn on the smoothing.

Mercurius/Vayeate: Body 2

Made some compromises regarding the detail and what the Tallgeese brings to get the general shapes. At this point the only difference between Mercurius and Vayeate is the fin on the head.

Mercurius/Vayeate: Body

Struggling to get the Tallgeese body to work with the more generic looking Mercurius/Vayeate. I feel like these two were Tallgeese ideas for wing that the producers didn't like, but worked out as two other high power suits instead.

Mercurius / Vayeate : Head 1

Willing to see how far we can take Tallgeese's basic forms into other MS's in the Wing timeline so starting on modifying the Tallgeese head to fit some of the Mer/Vay flow.

Landing War Ship: 2

Working on it sparringly still. I have few clues only as to what the full thing looks like so lots of liberties are being taken.

Altron: Dragon Fang

It's basically a palette swap in some ways.I have no idea if there's actually supposed to be a shield there. I remember the original Altron having the shield, through.

Altron Custom: Dragon Fang

I suppose that only one has to be built for this to work. I wanted to move on a bit but to say that the Altron is "done" is a smaller task than starting an new suit or scene over again.

Landing Warship Start

Another different attempt at a transport carrier for Wing.

Leo: Flight Pack

I like the idea of the extensibility of the Leo. I feel like an MG Leo and some extra packs should be something that Bandai pumps out eventually. For now this is just a set of educated guesses.

Leo: Flight Pack

Working on a flight pack for the Leo with good old internet pics, but with a less unibody look, if possible. I don't think I ever really thought about these packs for the leo when watching the tv show so long ago, but I'm surprised at the extensibility of these suits, despite how easily they blow up in the anime.

Shenlong: Trident

So finally jammed the trident back there, though I'm not sure this is exactly how it's "supposed" to be positioned.

Shenlong: Mostly

A bit more on the dragon fang and some texturing stuff is in place. I'll need to probably bump the render settings a bit, but I also forgot to make the beam trident.

Shenlong: Shield

I think the details of the shield maybe need to have better pop as some of the lines are blurred or covered by distance. And still the dragon fang needs a bit of tuning.

Shenlong: Dragon Fang 2

So instead of having the claw fold backward, it keeps the forward slant but uses the Altron Custom leash instead of either of the original Shenlong/altron extended arms. Not sure how I feel about how it turned out yet. Maybe sub the chain bits with "arm" bits.

Shenlong: Dragon Fang 'Custom'

I'm torn: I absolutely love the Katoki Hajime asthetic of the Shenlong/Altron, the lack of reach on the Shenlong concept kills the reach of the ms in general. I feel like if this was the retconn, then a lot of the capability in the original animation just wouldn't be possible. So I'm looking at adding similar reach to the dragon fang by adding the length of the head similar to the Altron. This is because while the original Shenlong has a long right arm folded under the shoulder guard, I feel like the Katoki asthetic may be too violated by reverting to that. We'll see.

Shenlong: Legs

Feels a bit off, but still working on some of the details for the legs. Feeling like I should update the old wing model for this.

Shenlong: Arms

I feel like Katoki can be really no-nonsense when it comes to arm design in general. I feel like there's a lot of similarity to the Unicorn in these ones. But I suppose "an arm is an arm" as well.

MS Carrier

Trying to do something a wee different by not working on an MS.
