promethuem5 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Looks like a good base, but why did you make the light up parts green? I persoannly can't stand the way the light up parts look regardless of color, but I think that the green might actually clash with the rest of the colors of the MS worse than the gold....

port Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 After I'm done weathering, that green will not be so harsh. You'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Started on the wings or fins or what ever. I know they look real cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 When I started I was going to do the lights, thats why I did the frame in clear green. I thought the yellow looked gay. But the whole lighting system looks dumb! And I was not going back to redo it. So here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 This sucker is done. All I have to do is the weapons. If the weathering is a bit much thats because I like it like that . As always I love to hear what you have to say. Thanks my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Interesting take on the design... some better close ups would be nice though. I can't decide if I like the full weaterhing job on this one yet or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Dude I heard this thing is more durable than the other 1/60 models and is toylike in terms of ruggedness and durability. Is that true? If so I might take a stab at getting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodler7 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Port! Nice Job! Would it be possible if you can have the Strike stand next to a perfect grade and take a snap shot...how about next to the MK II or the GP-01? I would like to get this model kit, but would like to see how it look next to perfect grades. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360° Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It's always nice to see your work, but I think you weather a bit too much on this one.. also is it the lighting or the camera that make the colors from your picture seem some what off.

Hikuro Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 also, the weathering on the black for the wings makes it look almost glossy, so the camera throws it off as being such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the the only thing I play hard with is my Robotech super pose. Yeah! I play with my toys! IS THERE A PROBLEM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
