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.



Tieren Desert Storm Ground Type 1:100

This kit has been a typical playing ground for experimenting different types of weathering from soft to hard and battle damages. This kit is so popular from the 00 gundam series that is used by the Human Reform League in its ground warfare with the celestial beings. It has enormous amount of photos floating around the net so I won't bother to post here any out of the box pics to avoid redundancy.

I think this has been the kit that I have assembled quickest so far. It took me a day to snap-fit the parts together. Then another day to paint the entire thing, and lastly, another full day to put weathering and battle damages. Unfortunately, after completing it, it took me weeks before to post it here. Another kit in the pipeline caught my attention and I have left the Tieren standing on the shelf collecting dust.

Thanks to the runners of my MG Shin Musha, it has extra lots of parts and I was able to salvage its spiked flail mace. Then I added a chain to hold it together.
