Scratch-Built AC ‘Opening’ from AC:fA

No, we’re not dead. It’s just been a slow week.

This AC’s name is indeed Opening, which is Malzel’s AC from AC:FA, one of the high members of ORCA in the game. I was confused for a bit there, but do enjoy the look of this model created by Shinsa in FGsite. Equipped with scratch-built GA parts (except for the HOGIRE core) and a lot of heavy weapons (especially the BIGSIOUX large missiles and the YAMAGA grenade cannon), this is turning out to be my kind of AC. More pictures after the jump.

Scratch Built X-SOBRERO Armored Core Model

A scratch built SOBRERO AC from Armored Core: For Answer created by maro2501 in FGsite. It take a lot of skill and determination to pull this one off. Just look at the back mount quad chain-guns, who knows how much time were spent on making those and there are 2 of them! More pictures of this model after the jump.

The Armored Core Effect

Forum member J.E. Magog was busy creating these model images using an SLR camera, light painting, and a lot of creativity. The resulting images are nothing short of awesome.

Now THAT’S an ARMORED Core: “Black Rain”

Crest Heavy Fighting Type “Black Rain” by 507 from FG-SITE

UPDATE: Now with more pictures!

At least it’s good to know this bad boy’s the one gonna finish you off. This AC is so mean, it looks like a match for Kojima Core ACs. Heck, it even has missiles on its crotch! More pictures below.

LEGO Armored Core

We have a bit of a LEGO theme going on here. But here’s a nice change of pace: this one’s actually related to Armored Core.

Flickr user bermudafreze‘s photostream sports a couple of recent shots of three ACs (one quad, two bipeds) made from LEGO. They’re pretty detailed, and are mostly faithful to for Answer-era parts. See more after the jump.
