MG Crossbone X1 Custom Posable Cape

Описание: MG Crossbone X1 from mobile suit Gundam Crossbone Manga

The master grade crossbone x1
This is a fine kit with one major flaw
The crossbone x1 itself is kind of a generic gundam but it’s uniqueness comes from the giant cape that drapes over its shoulders. I felt like the cape was a bit of an afterthought and that was the main issue that I wanted to attempt to correct with this model kit.

My inspiration for fixing the design of the cape came from the various other iterations of the crossbone x1: The metal figure, the real grade, the manga, and the Gundam Versus video game series. I also took note of the pirate theme of the crossbone series to come up with my final design. Finally, the cape in the master grade is not pose-able in any way and I really wanted to make it so the Crossbone X1 could hold an interesting pose involving the cape while placed on my shelf.

Added a wire to the cape to allow it to pose
Sewed on collar
Created metal buttons
Added holes to cape for battle damage
weathered the edges of the cape
Added jewelry chain as a clasp
Color corrected the plastic that would have required stickers
Added water slide decals
Panel line accents
