Description
This is the second piece of a commission. The image is NOT the commission, the model is. The image serves to show that the model has been completed up to some point. The model has been delivered for inspection. Once the OK has been given the X3 and Skullheart will move forward.This is the CROSS BONE Gundam (or the F97 series of mobile suits) from the Cross Bone Gundam MANGA series. This particular iteration is the X2. The X1 , X3 and Scullheart and other variations are incredibly similar in appearance to differing degrees. The weapon that it appears with is the "shot lance" used by the pilot Zabine Chareaux in the Cross Bone Gundam Manga series. Like the X1 , it also uses the beam zanber and buster gun (though in it's own darker colors). This Gundam is equipped with a core fighter, which is the origin of the protruding "Crossbone" boosters in the back.
Compared with the X1 , the X2 is basically the same with some small differences. The head mounted ventilation system has been replaced with a set of vulcan cannons. The V crest has been modified to be slightly thinner and have a wing shaped protrusion from the rear. There is also an extra antennae near the rear of the head (that should only be on the X2-KAI I think). Otherwise, besides the shot lance, the rest is (outwardly) nearly identical to the X1 .
Note:
The commission did not include the "Anti-beam cloak", but did include the shot lance weapon.

I've never attempted a gundam before, I think I should. Also I would like to congratulate you. Most people who make gundams, I've seen some VERY fantastic models done, but the rendering is just plain shit on them thus ruining it's awesomeness, but you on the other hand combine awesome modelling with awesome rendering. Keep up your work!

I didn't think making them would be so much fun
Still, got a ways to go before I get to where I want them to look. Eventually......

BUT, don't do like what everyone's doing to Transformers, they're UTTERLY de-transformerizing them by adding wayyyy to much detail. It pisses me off :\

Personally, I don't like that much detail since it takes away from the overall design for me. But I do like a little dirt and what not. Transformers has become too chunky and weird looking compared to what I was used to when I was a kid.

Love the thrusters.
Not much else.
Is it supposed to look that dark?
It just looks more like a model and less like a Gundam.
Don't like the lighting, that's all.
Especially the left foot.

I think this came out a lot better than the X1 honestly, and not just because Hasboro hasn't laid its paws on it. Finishing, coloration, and mesh work here are some of your very best, in my opinion. Especially on the lower half.
Gotta love how you executed the skull though, nice touch as always, Ivan. Favorited.

Loving this one too. This one probably moreso, just due to the unit's actual coloring.
Great job.

There seems to be a general lack of dark colored gundams. That's what draws me to this one as well.
Thank you, Christophe!

Hey, that was fast. All you did were added a few X2 features and changed the texture to X2's. Hopefully get to see the X1-kai and X3.

Yeah, the X1-kai is done (chest skull and all) I just want to model the full cloth cape as well. X3 and the rest will be on their way soon as I get the ok.
