G1 Exceed Gundam (Base Armor V2)
Alright! I've finally completed the G1 Exceed, for the most part. My first original Gundam. The G1 Exceed is a highly configurable frame, capable of swapping out its armor for new configurations in a way similar to the Liger Zero from Zoids, I guess would be the best way to explain it. It has a durable inner frame with connection ports that allows for this to happen.
Here's the G1 Exceed displayed without its weapons, in its Base Armor configuration. While it's general performance is high in this configuration, the exterior armor isn't very durable as it was made on the fly by the developer. In this configuration, it has access to a pair of beam sabers, head-mounted CIWS and chest-mounted CIWS, along with a number of verniers/apogee motors and thrusters.
EDIT: I've made some improvements to the model. The skirt armor front and back are now properly attached to the model. The back of the legs near the feet also have additional armor. I've also altered the rendering settings to make a better looking metal texture. Also, i.imgur.com/O1BvEzk.png
