[ivo]

my 2nd, bro. i posted my first MG Freedom on my thread. you can check my first page and see the index link for that Freedom.

this is one kit i like to go back to after i learned a thing or two on kit building the 'No-Paint Technique' method. ;D

[ivo]

@no3ljm, whoa! 2 MG freedoms?! Yup, its a great kit alright! same here,i'd like to correct the mistakes on my MG freedom. particularly the panel lines. ;D

[no3Ljm]

ivo
yup. and after i saw the new photos of MG Strike Freedom today, i'm really glad that i bought my 2nd MG Freedom. hehehe. ;D

[ivo]

a work in progress... i'm trying to figure out a solution on how to hide the marks left by the cut areas from the trees... i'll do the panel lining and decals this weekend

Instruction guide

[no3Ljm]

nice coated version of ZakuII, ivo.

it's hard to hide the cut marks when the kit comes in coated version.

[r2d2t2]

err! those nasty scars... thats the problem with coated kits.
the only way you can hide them, is to repaint the whole kit
very tidious job

here's an update on my growing collection....

ZGMF-X23S SAVIOUR

[no3Ljm]

nice Saviour, ivo. i really like the 'worm's eye view' shot. cool. ;D

btw, did your GF helped you with that?

good job, bro.

[christine_03]

everyone has the great saviour but me... wow nice kit... too bad i cant build gundams for a week or so... got into an accident. hehe...

[maldit0]

I regret missing your MG Strike update sir ivo! Your work on the MG Strike is very impressive. Very clean and the photo shots are very awesome! Same goes to your saviour. Galing talaga. ;D

[ivo]

@no3ljm, thanks! it took me about 7 hours to complete the saviour including the decals, a little hand painting, panel lining, and cleaning the nasty scars. nope, my gf wasn't involved on this one. this was all me haha!

@christine_03, its a very nice and very stable kit. i was surprised that the kit's pack was light, so overall it was stable. all joints are pretty tight and poseability is very good. i wasnt able to post the other shots i took when it was in MA mode and when i placed it on the zero wing stand. i'll try to post them soon and probably arrange the pics on this thread. btw, what happened to you? what kind of accident would prevent you from building gundams? ;D

maldit0, thank you! thank you for the compliments! the MG strike took 2-3 weeks to complete. I do the gundams only when I have some spare time. As for the saviour I started it yesterday shortly after breakfast and I finished it just before dinner! hahaha!

[qb]

wow....everyone's getting the Saviour.... I'm really impressed with the NG 1/100 kits coming out especially the Astray and the Saviour.... the kits are looking really well-sculpted and even without painting them, they look really cool.... it's just too bad I don't have the space to start accumulating them....

2-3 weeks? That's a long time ah! I had just finished myNG 1/100 Aegis tonight right after my dinner eh. Mejo tinamad nga ako coz my tummy is very full. Adobong adidas with matching fried chicken. ;D
