Help...Which Strike Freedom to Get??

[Midori Ken]

so you recommend painting even though the strike freedom has paint applied already??

There is no paint. Just colored plastic.

how is the quality of the colored plastic??

Look, just read Danny Choo's blog and see the before and after pics of Strike. You'll notice a massive difference.

But if you don't want to put the effort into it, you'd be better off getting the HG Strike Freedom to abate you.

That or get an action figure. They're usually very well painted, and less breakable than gunplas. Cheaper most of the time too.

Here's an example of painted vs unpainted MG

Heres an unpainted Exia

Looks ok right?

Now heres an Exia that has been given a one coat of paint and panel lined

Now imagine what that would look like once the shading and decals are done, now tell me which do you think is better?

it must've taken ages for them to complete that....

btw...say if i didn't want to paint them now and put the gundam together...can i take it apart up to a certain point and paint them later??

Ages? more like 4 hours tops.

If you only wanna give it one coat of paint its easier to spray it while its still in its frame. For the way with all the trimmings it does require you to take it apart and repaint again. Unless you are good with a scalpel, you risk breaking the pieces.

Also you need clippers, files, and scalpels for MG and sometimes even HG's.

i've been doing some research between the strike freedom mg vs strike freedom full burst...

is the extra $30 worth for minor gold plated parts, special stand, and those dragoon effects???

or should i take that $30 and invest it on Wing Zero EW MG???

i plan on getting Wing Zero EW 1/100 MG also...

All MG's are at least 1/100, if its not 1/100 or more its not an MG, but a 1/100 size doesn't necassarily mean a MG.
