Deathzeaot's Mech Factory (With new Frakens ADDED!)

Anyhow, thought I start working on doing some Fraken Linearts. Practice makes perfect as the old adage goes. So where we go! Enjoy! (or Not)

EDIT: More Frakens added, but I think I shall take a break from Fraken building for a while. So enjoy these last few.

(Modified: 6/27/09)

First Attempt:

Dagger_NemoHead [Link] [Link]

Used a mix of MS Paint and GIMP to place the Nemo head on the Long Dagger Body. Still getting the ropes of GIMP. So some things are a bit...off. Still a WIP. EDIT: Have added the Nemo's arms to the main body, check out the second link. Still kind of iffy but it needs a recolor.

Second Attempt: (Ship)

Odin Class Escort Ship [Link]

My very, very weak attempt at producing my one-legged Odin Class design used in some of Solid Shark's work on FFN, as well as introduced in my own Honor of a Knight Story. I even produced a small side story on it as well, showing what an Odin is capable of. Though honestly I am not all that hot on how it turned out. I am still going to see about working on it to make it somewhat better. Till then this should be a good example of my poor skill at GIMP and MS Paint.

Third Attempt: (Ship)

Barachiel Class Mobile Assault Carrier [Link]

Well as many can see this is a modified Archangel, I think I did far better on this one then the Odin Class. Anyways once again used an combination of GIMP and MS Paint. To those not seeing what I changed with from the original, well take a closer look between the two legs. Yes, that is another turret, unlike the two others which are Gottfried Beam Turrets I am having that a modified form of the Isolde Cannon of the Minerva. I always thought that space between the legs could fit another turret if someone wanted to do it. Since I have yet seen anyone doing it I did it myself. I think it turned out pretty good in my humble opinion. Though I neede to work on the wings, I tried to recolor them a light silver, but I could not find how I can use silver in GIMP, so that is the result. Anyways there is my pride and joy. Enjoy

Fourth Attempt:

Time to get back to Mobile Suits, here I have three, actually four with an extra one, easy Frakens I did on the advice of a friend who mention I should start small and sharpen my skills. Hence I decided to do these three.

Nemo Cannons [Link]

Two Nemos with shoulder cannons, one has the shoulder cannon from a RGC-80 GM Cannon, while the other has the dual cannons of the RGC-83 GM Cannon II. I got this idea when I remembered when I had read a Zeta era fic back on the old Gundam Evolution Board which had a Nemo Cannon in it. Which I think was a Nemo that had the backpack off a dead GM Cannon II, I am not sure. It was a while ago that I read it. But anyways I don't own the idea of the Nemo Cannon. I honestly like the first one better, for the cannons on the other one are kind of iffy. Still need to work on those.

Strike Cannon [Link]

Since I am such a SEED fan decided to do something similar to the old Strike Dagger, hence here we have the Strike Cannon which has the Shoulder cannon of the RGC-80. I honestly don't think this unit would be such a good unit compared to the more powerful Buster Daggers or Launcher Equipped Daggers. But yeah it looks interesting.

Astray Cannon [Link]

Now this one is my personal favorite of all the Cannon Frakens I did. I honest think this one would be a great unit to have in the Orb Defense Forces. Hence I will use it in my Honor of a Knight Fanfiction. Just because I like it so much. Anyways I hope you all enjoy this one. I might do a recolor down the road when I manage to get better. But for now it has the normal Astray colors.

Fifth Attempt:

Some more Cannon Frakens that I did because I was bored or because I was interested it seeing what I could do with the same old cannon off the GM Cannon. Enjoy!

GINN Cannon Trainer [Link]

A GINN Trainer with the shoulder cannon. Do not really know any good use for such a unit, only think it would be a onetime modification. /shrug/ Still it looks kind of different from the normal GINN trainer.

GINN Cannon [Link]

A normal GINN with the same shoulder cannon, yet another one time modification or perhaps another Equipment type similar to the D Type Package that we see in the beginning of the series.

Desert Cannon [Link]

A GINN OCHER Type with the shoulder cannon. Perhaps a modification when ZAFT needed some heaiver on the OCHER. Anyhow just looks kind of interesting. Cannon replaces the shoulder mounted smoke dischargers.

GINN Worker with Shoulder Cannon [Link]

A Junk Guild GINN Worker with shoulder mounted cannon. Cannon is mounted on other shoulder because it looked better there then the where the others Cannon Frakens have their cannons. Nothing much.

Sixth Attempt:

My Sixth Attempt is an addition to my Cannon Frakens. Which I call my Red Shoulder Custom models. Just an Strike Dagger Cannon and a GINN Cannon customized from normal. The Dagger Cannon Custom is because I wanted to do something for with it, for it is outshined by canon machines.

Dagger Custom Red Shoulder [Link]

The First Red Shoulder Unit which is an interesting add on to the normal Dagger Cannons, has a missile Launcher from the Duel Assault Shroud, the Katana off a GINN HMII, the leg mounted Lightwave Thrusters off the GINN HM Type, shoulder armor off Xist Elwes’s custom CGUE, and of course the shoulder cannon off the RGC-80 GM Cannon.

GINN Red Shoulder Custom [Link]

The Second Red Shoulder Unit, a modification to my own GINN Cannon model. Is equipped with leg mounted missile pods, the Katana from the last RS unit, arm mounted gatling cannon from somewhere I forget where and the shoulder armor off something which I forgot as well. Not to mention the shoulder cannon.

Seventh Attempt:

These next few are steering away from my Cannon equipped Frakens and where Frakens I really wanted to see in SEED or Destiny. Enjoy!

Astray IWSP [Link]

A normal M1 Astray equipped with the famed IWSP pack from the MSV Strike Rouge IWSP which looks pretty nifty to me. Wonder why no one else has done this before.

Dagger Trainer [Link]

A Strike Dagger Variant equipped for training pilots to pilot Mobile Suits. Similar to the various GM Trainer models over the years. In fact this guy takes various pieces off some of the GM Trainers, like the head off the GM Canard and the "window" off a normal GM Trainer. Though I think the head unit is a bit iffy.

Dagger Recon Type [Link]

With all the Recon Type Machines that ZAFT has, I wonder why the Alliance never has any. Hence I decided to do make a Dagger Recon Type. Basically has the equippment off a Long Range Recon GINN with the visor off a GM Sniper II. Still bit iffy on a few parts.

Re: Deathzeaot's Mech Factory

Pretty good for a first atempt. You managed to pick parts that go together quite well and looks nice. Only thing it needs now is a recolor.

Re: Deathzeaot's Mech Factory

Thanks. Though I am kind of still working on its neck. Where head meets body, it looks kind of blurry.

Edit: Have worked on the Nemohead a bit more and added some Nemo arms to the Dagger body as well. Can someone help me and recolor it to the Nemo Colors and clean it up a bit. Thank you in advance.
