MG Strike Freedom ZGMF-X20A (custom paint)

I just started painting the parts for my strike freedom today. It took about a month trying to find the “best” gold color i can use to convert and make this dull and yellowish non-shiny more eye candy. I tried not to put on too much paint cause based from other reviews I’ve read who tried painting this model kit, got a very stiff joints (which then made the model significantly hard to move). Anyway, i’ll try to post more photos if my fate will be the same as the others ^_^

Upcoming Projects (SD Red Frame Astray and MG Strike Freedom)

They have this 3-day sale @ SM Clark, Department Store. Too bad i didn’t make it in time for the early bird additional 10% discount (on top of the 10% 3-day sale discount). Or else I could have gotten a much better deal @ 20% for both of these model kits.

I got the SD Red Frame astray for PHP 350 and the Strike Freedom for PHP 2900 (minus the discount)

right after i opened it. the SD red frame (even though it has awesome details, despite its size), i need to add some paint to some parts which needs to be painted. Like the thrusters, knee vents, head and weapons. And as for the MG strike freedom, i think i’ll just buy some shining gold later and paint the inner frame (to make it more shinny when i display it and some panel lining also. I may change my mind. Lets see where my imagination (if i find the time), takes me.

MG Red Frame Astray (stickers and decals)

After a few days i finally got the time to sit and finish this master grade kit. the only problems i had with this was, some of the stickers and decals are super tiny. that i manage to accidentally transfered it to my fingers or clippers. :-( anyway, at least the “important” ones… like the one on his legs and shoulders i got right :-)

MG Red Frame Astray (weapons and equipment)

Now that we have the mobile suit done. next is the weapons. I know im slow. but I dont mind. Im not in a hurry. As they say. its not the destination, its the journey. ^_^ Let do this. I assume it wont be as intricate as the mobile suit. i dont see tiny parts here.

His massive weapon (tactical arms). Turns into a bow (not a fan of it though)

Doin some posin. :-) I’ve yet to use the decals and stickers. just got to excited to pose him due to his awesome articulation (did i mention he has awesome articulation).

Tomorrow, (hopefully) I’ll try to start with the decals and stickers. ^_^

MG Red Frame Astray (waist and legs)

now that we have had our beauty sleep. :-) time to continue with the legs and feet.
Me attempting to showoff the red frame’s awesome leg articulation (it even has tons of other mechanical detail inside its armor). Waist area was simple to assemble. I was so excited to put them together, i forgot to add panel lining.

All thats left now is connect the upper part and lower part.
Showing off the panel lining. I know I’m not great. Its just a hobby anyway (something to take my mind off work and stress related stuff)
Will be BACK (get it? “back”, uhmmmm, nevermind)… anyway, next part would be the weapons (Tactical Arms and the Swords)
