AnimeSuki Forum - Gundam Models Discussion Thread

Excuse me, duotiga, but have you heard of the terms "thumbnail" , "hyperlink" or "resize" ?

Even though boradband is the norm nowadays, there's still a need for netique.

Back on the topic, looking at the clearer resolution of the MG SF, it's clear that the SF is built on the MG Freedom Frame with some modifications. It's highly possible that Bandai copied those mods from the various Freedom-SF Coversion kits out there.

And those legs, I do not know if it's intentional or not, there are elements of the MG Strike and MG Freedom there. Strike Freedom, indeed. And they have change that shape of that eyesore of the belly cannon from round to rectangle, not much of an improvement, still an eyesore.

Okay, I just baught 1/100 Scale Freedom Gundam, it sucks. The joint "holes" are quite too small and it becomes a neusance. i did not enjoy this model. I just bought 1/144 Heavy Arms and MG Strike Freedom (Mwuahahaha), hopefully It will be a little more promising.

Hmm, looking at the IWSP...

I don't think I can appreciate the IWSP as much as I did the Aile Striker. The Aile Striker was a very sleek design, which went well with the Strike Gundam. The IWSP on the other hand, is cumbersome and when combined with the Strike Gundam, caused quite an affront to my sensitivities. That, and I cannot appreciate the solid-sword construction.

Although it IS quite funny to see the IWSP in action in SRW3, with Cagali swinging two huge machetes, going 'I am gonna protect the people I love!!'. I mean, if I was a ZAFT grunt, I'd go 'Yeah, whatever, you go ahead, I am gettin' the hell outta here!'

^ Too bad we never saw the IWSP in action in the actual series. Except in Generation of CE and SRW 3. :(

In any case, from a military standpoint, function > beauty. Yet, from a modeling's standpoint, thats not always the case ;)

So no, its not exactly a modification that'd make me go "OMG-PUREAWESOMENESS-GLEE-HURRAH! *squirt*"

lets see what we have here:

-MG F91 ver Blue Angels - I guess its ok; a cheaper alternative than the mutant stand the normal F91 comes with.

-GM striker - a craptacular melee weapon + a very busy design, though not in a good way. fail.

-GM[G] sniper - I don't want one, though diorama modelers may have a field day with this

-Strike Noir SD pics - instant win

-MG Strike Freedom - instant win

-Stargazer - too gaudy still, esp. with that ring things around it

-MG strike IWSP - still, instant fail.

4 out of 7 kits are SEED; and the GM striker looks like it came out of SEED. The world is ending :heh:

and the best model posted was the Crossbone X-1 review.... its still > all upcoming kits this year.

The HG Stargazer looks horrible. The proportions look off to me, and the added rings look tacky.

And I'm curious as to what the special option will be for Strike Freedom. For the extra 20 bucks, it better be something good. :heh:

Wouldn't be long now, I am going to depend on Hobby Link Japan to provide me with the most up-to-date package contents info :p

Although, as common with most Japanese practices, special edition 'accessories' are usually quite lackluster, so don't keep your hopes up :p
