The Last Emperor...

...of the Julian-Claudian line, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, has arrived!! Actually she arrived couple months back, but one of folks I made order for was nice enough to let me play with his while I waited on my order to arrive. After bit more of a wait, she arrived last week and headed off to her new Master. But she didn't come alone, Saber Alter was with her and she will make her 'official' debut soon XD But until then wanted to share some photos of Nero. Chances are seen these already if visit my site but if not, please enjoy =)

 

 

Those who ordered the LE version Fate / Extra game (US or JP release) will recognize this illustration. It is from cover of the mini art book that came with the game.

 

 

First photo I did with Nero was trying to recreate that lovely illustration.

Are you the one who has summoned me? Are you my Master?

 

 

Saber’s default uniform / dress is simply amazing. But I would recommend you pay close attention to the instructions on how to assemble her. Pay special attention to the part that talks about how to attach her corset to the dress. Volks gives you two options on how to do this. I would go with the option where you take off her bust part. I tried it the other way and ended up pulling out the flimsy stitch Volks used attaching the fastener. Looked like it was two stitches holding it in place. I say it was poor because compared to other stitching inside the corset, this was was not reinforced at all and thread was different. Luckily I was able to repair it using my limited sewing ability and reinforced it just in case. But I would suggest going with the bust removal option to be safe.

Now then, I shall ask you once more.

Answer me. Are you my Master?

 

 

Saber is absolutely wonderful. I mean she is simply stunning. I am so pleased to finally have her ToT Sabers are certainly “the most outstanding” for a reason. I give her high marks all around.

I see you have knowledge of what a Servant is. More importantly, you recognize you summoned a superior Servant.

As the Saber class is best of the Servant classes, it is obvious I am a Saber.

 

All right, I give my blessing!

I will bestow upon you the honor of being my Master!

 

 

Nero is certainly more…endowed…than the Saber I am use to ^///^;;

What an excitable Master I have.

Why are you so flustered?

 

 

Saber’s sword is amazing!! The level of detail her Aestus Estus possesses makes it work of art. Certainly has some weight to it, amazed she was able to wield with little problem.

My blade is the ultimate instrument! Even the Muses themselves bow before the sound that it makes.

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the photos. Saber Alter pics coming soon. Then need to get around to doing an updated group photo since haven't done with since Saber Lily arrived.

Very cool! I like how you used dialogue from the game with your photos.

I am not really familiar with the game or artwork but your photos are spectacular. They are so lush and detailed. The bold colors are gorgeous. I love the way her golden hair picks up the light. Her green eyes are so brilliant and beautiful!

Beeeeeeautiful! She's so lovely, and I love your recreation of the illustration!
