Ideas/Plans:
Basically, I want to mod the structure and the build of
the Duel. I want it to look better, but not drift away
from the actual anime accuracy (of course, it's not too
accurate to start with). This is not an attempt to make
it more anime accurate either, just make it look better
to my own eyes. Here's what I have so far:

Chest/Torso:
I completely redid the chest armor. I used the original
as a base. First, I just used my hand-saw to saw away
what I could. I had an issue with it fitting onto the
modified chest. So I had gotten rid of the central core/cockpit
part, I cut styrene sheet and applied it over it. So,
it's been buffed up quite a bit, and the shape is different
as well.

Legs/Crotch:
The
crotch armor was redone. I backed it with styrene sheet,
and then lengthened it from there. I also cut off the
skirts and used small springs to allow some movement.
As for the legs, I added some sheet to some part to make
it stand out more. Then I cut off the ankle gaurd. I originally
planned to used a spring there, but the space between
the armor and the actual leg didn't allow to do so, and
since I wouldn't need it to move anyway, I just reattached
it at a different angle.

Weaponry/Acessories: The
mounted shoulder cannon was WEAK. It doesn't look like it
could harm a fly. So I tried buffin it up a bit. Though,
you can't do much with it. So I may just scratch build a
new shoulder cannon later on. |
