Reposing the ASN-21 Assassin: "The Archetype"
« on: 25 July 2017, 06:19:41 »
I spent a lot of time reposing this guy.  I'll post the finished project next.  Right now, just wanted to share it because I think it's the best repose/mod I've ever done.   :)

Kudos on the work - I've reposed some plastic Assassins in similar ways, but doing a good job on the metals deserves respect!

Probably the best I've done with jeweling too:

Great job there!  Liked the mod already, but the paint job really brought it all together.  8)

Thank you.  After painting it, yeah, this is probably my best repose/mod I have ever done.  I'm glad it's on my favorite 'Mech too.

The Assassin is such a lovely mini to work with ... shame about the stats.

Okay, fair enough, a 7/11 mover in 3025 play has to pay.
