Highly detailed, with animated parts, the Nexus is a fantastic pirate outfit with mechanized parts in a steampunk styling. The pieced leather jacket, caught across the chest in a series of straps and buckles can be worn with or without the solid leather shirt underneath. The coat collar has an attached chain necklace with an animated gear pendant on the chest. Two sculpted shoulder pads have metal rings detailing the edge, with flowing penant-shaped fabric at the back of the shoulders that can be tinted to the color of your choosing. At the center-back is a power unit that contains a series of rotating cogs, glowing gems, and tubes that run into the back. The jacket's flared coattails fall above the knee, with a separate metal belt tied at the front. The right arm has a mechanical unit that is worn from the elbow to the wrist, with more gears, and circling testing equipment that is designed to help with pirating navigation. The left arm has a shorter, metal cuff, and there is a pair of sturdy leather gloves included. Under the coat is a pair of pieced-leather pants have flared legs, which give you a very sexy silhouette. The prim pant legs skim just above the low-top strapped, buckled boots, which are also included. The outfit is finished off with a spectacular ostrich-feathered tricorn hat with a satin ribbon around the brim. The ostrich feathers are also tintable to whatever colors you choose.

Quality BlackOpal Design
I really like this a lot. As usual with BlackOpal (even the free stuff) the quality is top of the line. The detail in the textures and steampunk gear work on this ensemble is outstanding. The result is truly unique and should get a full 5 star rating.
However, I must deduct one star because at this price it should be kept up to date with the newest client side features. That being said, I'm talking about alpha clothing layers that are now available. I have no idea if this was made prior to their availability but regardless this set should include them instead of using invisiprims or at least give buyers that option as part of the package.
The craftsmanship is outstanding but the ability to view it is somewhat lacking without having to completely reshape the avatar's arms. This was clearly designed using a very slender avatar so if the consumer's avatar is anything else then most all of the pieces will need to be resized. That's fine as I'm used to that but it doesn't work so well with the mechanical arm attachment...any bigger and it just looks out of place. This is where the alpha clothing layer would provide the perfect solution...and alphas for the shoes, of course.
