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.

This is fantastic. Now I really want to learn about the Crossbone.

Wow, Zabine got a gundam... I wish they had made F91 a tv series, but I enjoyed the movie. Maybe then they might have made Crossbone. Sigh.

I'm finally watching Victory. It's pretty cool. Once I finish that I'm gonna watch Igloo. (you seen it?) I'm all about UC.

Haven't had a chance to see IGLOO yet. Looks sweet though. I'd like to see the new evolve stuff too. I have to admit that it took a while to get over the little kid pilot in Victory, but I ended up lovin it.

Hey, silly question, but are you trying to base these more on the manga versions or the Katoki redesigns? Not too much to say about this one, it looks as good as the X-1

sandrum In reply to GlauG [2006-10-27 09:41:26 +0000 UTC]

Not that silly a question. Yes they're based off the katoki redesigns, specifically the GFF, though the MG is a great help. The originals are so much more roundish as seems to be the future UC style, but really I like either style.

GlauG In reply to sandrum [2006-10-27 12:11:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have the FIX X-2, and that's what made me wonder.

RedWingnut In reply to GlauG [2006-10-26 19:14:48 +0000 UTC]

From what I can tell, they seem to be leaning more towards the redesign versions. The major giveaway is the ends of the X-thrusters. Here they are more rounded off, where the magna design has them being more pointed at the ends.

Yup, spot on.

GlauG In reply to RedWingnut [2006-10-26 21:01:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was thinking as much. Some of the markings are there, too, but there are elements of both really. The Shotlancer is deeeefinitely the Ka version though.

I always thought those cloaks looked kinda silly anyway, even if they were really useful.

I thought so to in the beginning, I think the way I executed it was just bad the last time. I'm sure I can make it look ace if I just gave it more time
