[Digital MOC] K-31 Lady Ninja

[Corydoras]

An assassin bot inspired by the pop culture image of kunoichi - the legendary female ninja. It is supposed to bear a resemblance to an average cosplayer, its seemingly innocent looks helping the deadly droid to fool its victims. Fast and agile, the Lady Ninja bots are skilled with a wide range of weapons often associated with ninja - most notably, the kusarigama. Capable of killing, stealing and spying, these slinky robots will provide a worthy addition to everyone's droid army!

Built in real bricks, K-31 Lady Ninja is currently sitting on my desk. It turned out to be quite well balanced and sturdy. Unfortunately, I have no means to take photos, so LDD screenshots must suffice for now. The renders are only missing a chain and weight for the kusarigama, a pair of kunai daggers from the Zane ZX booster pack and 9448 Samurai Mech stickers on the 2x2 Dark Red tiles on her legs.

Well-detailed. And it seems pretty posable, too.

It really has the kunoichi looks

[Corydoras]

Thanks!

I'm thinking of doing another one in blue or magenta&white.

Pretty cool, she has nice "hair" lol.

If at all possible, try to make the shoulders narrower on the next model so it looks even more feminine.

I'd get rid of the heels, but apparently anime kunoichi love heels

[Corydoras]

The original design had white "socks" and no high heels, but - believe me or not! - I had to add them for stability. I figured out THESE combined with THESE make a stronger connection than THESE and THESE. The change of the Technic connector with ball socket for the liftarm created a weird gap in the middle of the foot and made it appear a little bit taller, but I thought... hey! it kinda looks like high heels. So I added a couple of plates and voila, she has nice high heeled boots.
