Strike Gundam: IWSP

Wont hear about the Crossbone X3 till probably Friday or Saturday, so moving on yet again with the Strike's IWSP pack.

Gundam ver KA: Fairly Complete

...yeah... the ADAPT pose.

Gundam ver KA: Rig

Rigging it up. Some of the Inverse Kinematics setup for the GM Command don't work to well on this Gundam. Gotta loosen up the hands a bit more and allow the shoulders to come out a bit.

Gundam ver KA: Legs

Starting the legs. The kneecap section is mostly done. Have to move to the calves and add those tiny thrusters attached.

Gundam ver KA: Waist

Now the waist. Slight mods here. Though they seem similar to the GM Quel and Hazel, some of the placement is different, particularly the side skirt. The KA version of the gm command has a weapons carrier in the rear of the waist which is carried over to the KA.

Gundam ver KA: Body

Modifying the Chest. Only slight modifications are necessary here; the largest being the vent system around the collar, the lowering of the collar and slight raising of the main cockpit hatch.

Gundam ver KA: Head

Gettin there... Gotta iron some stuff out as usual.

Gundam ver KA (RX-78-2)

While I wait for the thumbs-up for making the Crossbone X3 and Skull Heart, I'm diving into the Gundam version KA which will be used specifically as content for the future anaheim machines site (not this blog). The process will be a conversion, which actually began with the GM Quel. From the Quel I built the Hazel. From there I built the GM Command, and from that GM Command will come the Gundam KA. Based on the GM Command, the conversion will only involve a few major changes: The head, the upper chest area, the waist skirts, a slight change in the rear booster and the front shin area of the lower leg. After that is generally just a recolor and other smaller changes. Since this is just a conversion, I'll probably just post here. The basic start of the head.

Crossbone Gundam: X2 Complete

Crossbone X2

Crossbone Gundam: X2

And a splash of X2 color. I may refrain from making a large image unti I finish the X3. Who knows. :p

Crossbone Gundam: Shot Lance

The shot lance is a weapon for the Crossbone X2. Some parts aren't what I'd hoped so I'm still working on it. Pretty close though...

Crossbone Gundam: X1 Complete

The X1 with a hilariously done "Anti-Beam Cloak". Anywho, time to move on to the X2.

Crossbone Gundam: Test Color

Basic run through for dirt, colors, etc. Maybe tomorrow I'll get this done...

Crossbone Gundam: Weapons 1

The basic "handheld" weapons at the moment. The screw-whip has already been modelled (and attached to the rear skirt) while the scissor anchor has been modelled and attached to the front skirts. Other weapons like the peacock smasher, etc will be done a little later.

Crossbone Gundam: Core Fighter OK

Attachment of the core fighter to the Mobile Suit. Seems to fit. ;)

Crossbone Gundam: Core Fighter 2

Getting pretty much there. Think I'll use bump maps to knock out the last detail.

Crossbone Gundam: Core Fighter 1

Starting the crossbone core fighter...

Crossbone Gundam: Arms

... are basically there. I haven't gotten back to the legs yet. Perhaps when I finish the core fighter I'll go back and spruce things up.

Crossbone Gundam: Legs 2

Bah, well I forgot some detail on the leg, but it's still basically there. I'll fix the problem and move on to the arms.

Crossbone Gundam: Legs 1

It's difficult to find good reference spots on the reference photos I was using for the legs. Coming along slowly but surely though.

Crossbone Gundam: Waist

Barring some small details, it's pretty much done on the waist part.

Crossbone Gundam: Waist 1

Starting on the waist. Weaponry being built in makes it one of the most interesting waist areas I've ever built. Very creative work from the designer, in my opinion.

Crossbone Gundam: Body 3

The X1 and X1 kai both now have some light version of the clamps for the cloak, while the X1 kai features the crossbone insignia on the chest. Moving along....

Crossbone X1, X1 Kai

The crossbone illustration posted earlier is the X1, while the Kai version is slightly different cosmetically. From now on, the X1 and X1 Kai will be worked on simulteneously (as will the other variations when they become valid during the workflow). At the moment, the head is the main difference. The body will be changed soon.

Crossbone Gundam: Body 2

AAAA, forgot the clamps on the side of the cockpit hatch (for the antibeam coated shroud, etc). Still, close again.

Crossbone Gundam: Body 1

Starting the body. Not easy getting back into the swing of things.

Crossbone Gundam: Head 2

Some stuff exists in this 3d mesh because I wanted it to look a bit busier, but the changes are minor. For the most part, it's close to done.

Crossbone Gundam

Resumption. The crossbone gundam is up for personal reasons. The versions X1,X2, and X3 are all strikingly similar so it shouldn't be a problem reproducing them. The start of the Head.
