The Dragon Ronin Gallery

It took me a while, but I was finally able to take gallery pictures of the Ronin.  The pictures speak for themselves.

Revelation: The Dragon Ronin Reborn

For the Original Dragon Ronin WIP, check it out at http://mxgs.blogspot.com/p/projects.html.

The Dragon Ronin was one of my most ambitious attempts at full-blown modification and scratch building. It was originally intended as my entry to the 2009 BAKUC, but I ran out of time and abandoned the project after a frustrating bout with plastic not "molding" the way I wanted to. So, I moved on with other projects, like The Ice Queen, and thenafter, The Chimera.

I decided on a total redesign of the custom armor, removing the articulation thereby simplifying the construction and overall feel of the armor. Though I've simplified how the armor looks, how it's assembled is a different matter.

Waist, VFin, DragonBow, Back Pack and Skirts

First, I modified the waist articulation and added about 5mm or so to expose the pistons (not necessarily to give it additional height).

The Dragon Ronin Astray Part X

Shot to the Heart

The gun stock of the customized weapon made with 2mm beams sandwiched between 1mm plates. The trigger is made of two pieces of 1mm sheets cemented together.

Layered 2mm beams to form the gunshaft. The design is loosely based on the Kampfer's shotgun.

 

 

 Is it a Shotgun?

Or a CrossBow?
