EXM-H15Eμ-MD0122 Acerby Type-E0122 "Battle Maid" Mu Unit

Another Acerby has hit the collection! This one is directly inspired by @acerby's Acerlin build, using the same base 30 Minutes Sisters maid outfit option parts set, alongside the Option Parts Set 22 Wing Option 2 and one of the 30MS hair options.

The base Acerby Type-E is essentially identical to the Acerby Type-D, with the same set of parts and colour blocking, with the only difference being the darker more monotone purple scheme, and the inclusion of a dark purple faceplate intead of the usual white. There's not really anything new to explore with the Type-E as compared to the Type-D, apart from it being the first Acerby kit I've build using the Tamiya liquid panel liner rather than gundam markers. Aside from a panel line, all the included parts also got a matte topcoat, aside from the clear parts.

The majority of this kit uses the base Type-D build, however, I was able to modify the upper arms to connect to the maid costume arms, keeping the poofy sleeve sillhouette. The upper torso and skirt are from the maid costume, as is the small headdress. The lower part of the maid costume torso lacks the amount of articulation included in the Acerby, so despite it being visibly thinner I opted to use it instead. To help maintain the "maid" sillhouette I used the smaller Acerby A-C feet rather than the new feet parts included in the D and E kits.

The most modification on this kit happened with the hair. The hair option is designed to attach to the 30 Minutes Sister's face parts, and while the Acerby has a very similar faceplate, the connections are just different enough that you can't directly add the hair to it. I used the back part of the helmet, and then with only a little cutting and gluing was able to force the fringe of the hair parts to attach, with the maid headdress on top. The fringe just about conceals any of the gaps created by omitting the parts designed for the kit.

The wings really help to elevate this build, helping evoke the idea of a valkyrie. Unlike the white option part wings (used in my Build Strike Galaxy Wing), these ones incorporate some really nice trans-purple parts that match well with the trans-purple parts used for the Acerby's eyes and beam dagger. While the trans-purple eye and beam effect part unfortunately aren't UV fluorescent (which would help them to stand out against the dark purple of the faceplate), the trans-purple parts on the wings bizzarely fluoresce bright blue under UV light. The energy katana blade is also UV fluorescent and is incredibly bright even under normal lighting.

I painted up the sensor of the Acerby rifle in a UV fluorescent red which matches well with the energy katana blade for some great photos.

The maid outfit option set also includes a little broom, because even a battle maid needs to clean up.

Overall this build was really simple and fun to put together, and it poses incredibly well.

I'm looking forward to putting together my final Acerby custom soon, the Acerby Type-A. Until then, keep a look out for some really cool builds as I try to clear my backlog!

I ended up taking like 10 versions of this picture, but I actually liked the first one I took the best. Only problem was that the tiny dress physics betrayed me and Yufia's whole dollussy was out.

The last one I took I'm not as happy with but no flashing. Trade offs...
