Much better, all you need to do is recolour all of the "gold" to gunmetal or something so that it will actually look decent.

This actually makes me sorta like Strike Freedom now that I've seen this. (Yes I think Strike Freedom was the fugliest Gundam ever made when it was first introduced)

I don't think there's much wrong with the design itself, despite it being quite possibly the worst and most apparent rehash in the history of Gundam (although with a purpose), it's just the name and the "gold" that really, really bothers me.

latest update for diorama with some background models in 70% complere status...

haha nice, the crain with the zaku axe stuck on it ;)

The only problem with SF is that fugly head =/ THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE HEAD.

Regular freedom's head looks far better.

Those are fucking SWEET. Cookie for you.

OMG those are da bomb.....

i have is PG stike/strike rouge/another skygrasper((dont think i dont like them, i LOVE them but 2 strikes?!?! thats wayyyy too much for a PG p.s. i didnt buy the rogue my uncle bought it for me....) a 1/60 strike system thingy MG freedom 1/60 flash strike freedom 1/144 meteor freedom and justice 1/100 wing zero custom ZETA 2.0 as well... tallgeese 3 and is paitiently waiting for MG akatsuki.... the ZETA and the tallgeese and the justice isnt painted.... yet....

Nice models strike66.......if only I had a difital camera then I could post my models too.

hey guys :) great pics here :D
actually, before i came to US i was into making models. I learned some basic stuff on how to make them better and stuff but never got to the point where i spray paint it (it was always hand paint) i was wondering if you guys know any read or site that will be helpful in helping me make my model look better ;) i am hoping to get into making gundam models again :D

thanx

Oh my.......Where DID you get that Gundam Ex-S from?!

Alright, I'm simply deleting the posts.

If you can't respect, let alone read the Gundam Forum Guidelines, I'm not going to waste my time editting you post.

I haven't done much damage on the bridge except the broken hand rails... I may add more damage as things progress - not much happening due to not such good weather for air brushing... :(

put the floor on the base and add the lines... I need to visit local hobby shop for some suitable 1/100 decals...

my pics got deleted :(
anyways ill resize them and put them back up later on for your viewing pleasure :D

oh and i got the ex-s from hongkong, costed me 68 cdn after conversion :D. Models are a rip off here in canada but they cost dirt cheap in HK. Took forever to build thats for sure.

bit OT.
Where do you go for Gundam kit in HK?
I was at HK Nov 05 - and stayed at the East Chimsachui(?).
Only place I found with Gundam kits were TRU and a small Gundam shop right next to it in the Harbour City??? Well didn't have time go for shopping in HK island though after the meeting and I only stayed for 2 nights as last leg of my business trip which included Beijing, Xiangxaze(?), Osaka and Seoul...

Ah that would explain it........HK the land of where anything you want is buyable.....for a minute there I thought there might be an site actually selling an Ex-S.

no clue about the location in hk since my parents went. I heard they went to the japanese district or sumthin. Monggok also sells alot of gundams. www.hlj.com has the ex-s in case you were wondering.
