Building a collection of Lego ranged weapons for playing Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack; most would work for minifigures too. Tried to create a simplified but robust list of options using common/cheap bricks that new comers could copy/iterate on. In theory you could outfit any mobile frame squad/company with all the weapons shown and fill any combination of direct/indirect/SSRs/split weapons (including melee if you use an underslung chainsaw a la Gears of War lancer or the 'fusion edge'-definitely-not-a-lightsaber). Boomers and shortys are pretty straightforward. Mechanically there's no difference between the Colsten and Maxters, both filling the direct range variations. Flavor wise Colstens tend to be single shot or 3 round burst with smaller magazines and little in the way to inherently manage heat (save the finned version), while the Maxters tend to be burst or full auto with drum magazines and water cooled barrels (making them more ideal for vacuum combat). Originally the Maxter was going to be a gatling gun, might double back around to that flavor wise. The Colsten is the mobile frame evolution of the WW2 Sten and Polsten. They were originally a stop gap for UMFL/Colonial Espatiers, but has been mostly adapted by Free Colony Cells while better supported UMFL/CE have moved on to The MRS. The Maxter on the other hand is the preferred space combat option over the Colsten. Although the Maxter also has a longer/safer usage time in space than The MRS, the latter is formed from superior alloys that absorb vastly more heat before being impacted, and is usually preferred for the increased reliability and optional loadouts.

Fyana and her bruitish-dog.

She was much easier then chirico, She's mostly just a re-texture of a anime-style base mesh. Her helmet is based on the same base mesh I made for him, I saved it seperatly before I stated adding details.

The transparent visor effect is slightly intricate, because she is rendered in workbench, and workbench doesn't allow transparency.

The basic trick is to flip the normals and use backface culling. Its mostly the color choices that sell the effect. But this method interfered with the grease pencil lineart generator that I used for her outline.

In order to get the correct outline in profile view I had to duplicate it, bake lineart just for the face with the off and then turn on the visor and bake the main line art. I still had some issues with the nose, but those lines were simple enough to do by hand.

the backgrounds and textures are painted in blender, substance painter, and clip studio. Im still figuring out a good workflow for a more stylized images. ideally I would only use one program, and while two is acceptable, three really seems excessive.
