DISCHARGE!



I built this over the course of the weekend, the Star Build Strike and the Power Gate booster. Ended up building the two boosters simotainously.

I questioned Bandai releasing a new Strike but y'know what? The base build strike body was a pretty fun build and did a few things I wasn't expecting. It's very solid, and I might be enjoying this new High Grade far more than I did the RG. It only really gets finicky if you start putting on the effect parts.

Speaking of Effects, I gotta think about what to do with the spare Booster and crapton of extra parts it gives you.

They give you the entire H and I plate from the HG Star Build Strike, so you'll have an extra rifle and half the parts needed to make the shield.

I've been thinking about doing an Gundam X that uses the Discharge system to fire the satellite cannon.

But, I'm thinking all those clear parts might go well with the Extreme Gundam too, hmmm….

The high grade kits are pretty good too.

I agree. I enjoyed following AGE as it aired, but as the series progressed I grew less enamored. While nowhere as prolific in scope as 00, the AGE line of kits continued to offer sound kits. The AGE-1 normal is still one of the most ridiculously articulated 144 scale kits I own (it can roll into a ball )

I am of the sort that believes the Xamdrag, for all of its multiple appearences, direly needed a kit.

Oh yeah, it's beautiful but putting on all the effects was a pain. The angel wings are fine, no problems there but the big issues come from the big yellow pieces.

Dunno if it's just mine but it constantly wants to fall out if you try to move it at all.

Until I get some paint, this is how Zero will look.

So are the Build Custom kits fairly universal? If I wanted to say, put the Plavsky Power Gate on HG 00,would that be doable without physically altering 00?

Yeah. They include adaptors and joints to make the back packs compatible with virtually any high grades.

Actually the Master Grades do too! I cracked open the Build Strike last night to check it out before building, and everything is cross compatible (more or less). I probably won't be able to start the build of it or my Sengoku til later in the leek, but once I do I'll probably post updates here as I go along.
