Yeah I did check them and there was no problem in the connection and assembly. I did it all right. If you can feel when folding it, there should be a feeling that the wing, as you fold it, goes over through some grooves which "snaps" as you move the wing up or down. However mine, when goes more than a horizontal angle, just drops down. So mine on display looks like it just jumped out of the catapult with the wings still not opened. ;D I plan to display the MG Rouge the same, so it looks symmetrical when I place the MG IWSP in between. My Spiegel and Shining are on the lower shelf, which will be for the MGs without stands.  |

Yeah, the weird thing is why does it loosen even if I don't fiddle with it that much. I mean why would it get worn out "pudpod" if I don't touch it that much. But anyway I would still opt for that pose coz opened wings would be too wide, to consider that I'll also be placing an MG Strike Rouge on the other side, and an MG Strike + IWSP on the middle.
I'm also planning to get the 3 1/100 Strike gundams for addition to my Strike Gundam collection, snap building only though. I don't seem to be in the mood to be painting gundams right now, since Zoids is really my main toy line. But I am planning to have a Strike gundam repaint, will just have to plan my budget well.
I decided to change my Aile Strike MG's pose and posed it like it's speeding out on the catapult while standing.

My latest MG, I had to sticker the rifle, then remove, then airbrush (got chipped) so I tried paintbrush (too thick and dark) and what did the job was... Blue Pentel Pen marker.  |

Some more pics of my MG Freedom (snap built and panel lined)    I colored the rifle blue with blue pentel pen after trashing the stickers (didn't really looked good for me), airbrushing (got the paint chipped), handpainting (too thick, rough and dark) so I stripped the handpainting and used a blue pentel pen. Still got some traces of the direction of the pen and some texture but looks good enough for me. |

the same thing happened to me on the blue stripe thing on the beam rifle of my first MG Freedom. what i just did is use one of my Gundam SEED Blue Marker. too bad, Bandai didn't fix this problem on the MG Strike Freedom. they could've made it color separately like the red stripe on the beam cannon on the wings. same application sana. oh well...

Yeah, like the blue trim on the beam rifle of the 1/60 Real Detail Freedom...  And I guess I have to do the same on the rifle of MG Strike Freedom, when I get one. For now I'm awaiting 2 more MGs.... more STRIKE GUNDAMS to come!! |

Nice job on your freedom but I didn't have the same problem with the rifle. What I did was mask the white part, prime and then paint. I let it dry for one whole night. Next day, it looked good so off it went with flat topcoat afterwards. I used RJ's spraycan btw.  |

If I primed the blue part when I airbrushed it, it could've turned out better, but I didn't.  But anyway my Freedom's all okay, and I can't wait for my next MG's. I'm also really getting some big temptation to getting a new 1/100 HG for painting. The only hard part is to shell out the money which is really needed for some other tools and other stuff I need to pay for. |
