Hey SNT1, because I love you just that much, ok?

- Tak (And I think I mentioned before, I -hate- the IWSP)

Strike with black feet wins in my book. The traditional red is out of place.

<3 <3 <3!

coulda done w/o the yellow trims, but I like it :D

And the blue wings on the pack is another nice touch

Tak the strike looked f'in sweet nice job :D
(Black and blue 2 fav colors and the white compliments it perfectly.)

Oh god I want that.

Well, its only between $35 to $40, courtesy from Bandai :D

You arn't the only one I am buying one today but I won't get around to doing it untill I finish my GP02A and I would like to do my FAZZ full armor after that, but I don't know now seeing his paint I may just do my IWSP first.

*looks at Tak's pictures*:twitch: :twitch: :twitch:

Oh...My...GOD...


And Tak, you say that's only $35-$40? But is that a re-painted MG Strike Rouge or an actual original Strike with IWSP?

Strike Gundam + IWSP. Although the color scheme is like a halfway Rouge, but unlike the original Rouge, this version is not pink by default.

IMHO, Aile > IWSP.
I loved the Strike design because it looked so basic and very 'first-mecha-ish' and more of a 'remember-your-roots' mecha of the CE, but with the IWSP, it just looks confused whether it wants to have the basic first-mecha look, or the crazy overpowered look, so it's kinda stuck in between.

Thinking of getting an MG Aile Strike too, and also because of the nice stand ^^

Absolutely agree. The designs of the Strike Gundam just does not match with the IWSP add-on pack. The two units seem to contradict each other's basic design emphasis.

The Strike is quite a sleek model, but the IWSP is bulky, and lacking grace. If anything, a Gundam should be designed revolving the IWSP.

Nah, I see it as more of a militaristic approach to stuff, as in function > form. Definitely a contrast compared to the glossier SEED MSes.

Also, contradicting desings are sometimes awesome.

IWSP looks like a metal slug tank stuck in an aerial MS' back. Don't get me wrong, I lurv Metal Slug, but it has no place on Strike Gundam.

Well, sometimes afterthoughts like these are bound to be weird after all.

well, all the mechs in CE seems like afterthought designs, although I still find some of them attractive XD

OMG!!!Thats a SWEET Strike you have there Tak!!!
I am kinda new at modeling and painting and can you or anyone around here give me some advice on painting?I couldn't help but notice the gold that you used on the sword holders. How do you get such a shiny paint of gold? Cool paint job anyway!

Although I'm the first to say function before form, I'll have to agree that the Aile looks better than the IWSP on the Strike. I think that even the Oowashi pack of the Akatsuki might be a better fit for the Strike if a Flight Unit + Beam Cannons system were necessary.

That said, I don't need to remind anyone that the Noir pack is essentially a streamlined or product-improved IWSP pack...And dammit, I could be very well contradicting myself here, but the Strike Noir deserves an MG 1/100 incarnation. The 1/144 kit was nice, but I think the Noir has a lot of potential for further detailing.

...Still disappointed that no MG F90 announcement has appeared...

man...i just ove the colour scheme!!!!:love: :bow:

This is wow
