De-mechanizing A Strike Freedom

The striking thoughts finally paid-off. But a lot of unneccessary stuff happened. I got sick (my stomach was upset) and tons of tedious tasks had to be accomplished in the office.
Anyway, as I have completed painting and customizing this kit, I still find it lacking something. It doesn't have the wow factor. I am a bit disppointed maybe because it's only a No-grade kit. I have painted this differently because the original blue and dark blue with red and white color makes the kit look funky and weird. I don't know why, but my eyes find it not appealing. So to make the kit more serious looking, I have painted it with silver and metallic graphite finish.



There is nothing so much special on the modification that I have done on this kit. It's just a custom paint and a touch of little details on the legs. I added pistons and exhaust vents.




To keep the legs from looking too dull  and plain, I added an exhaust vent. Likewise pistons on the shins. It took me quite some time to cut out the assembly to make way for the openings but I guess it's worth it.
















Well, for the review, I leave it to Haro. And I guess he has nothing much to say......



Poseability 6/10

It's not that bad, but good enough for a no-grade kit.

Excitement 5/10

Hmmm.... forget it....
Design 7/10

The dragoons compensated for its lack of character. I wish I had bought the MG version.
Weapons 4/10

Just two pieces of rifles and ofcourse the standard sabers.

Detail 4/10

Don't bother thinking about it. I was compelled of doing customizations on the legs. Last piece of advise, go for the MG version.
