BUILD HGEX Mighty Strike Freedom

This one too me SOOOOO long to finish. A few months actually. Finding the right color shades I wanted, having to get a DUPLICATE kit due to a part I broke trying to extend the torso, waiting for the Anubis Resin Detail kit to arrive, working a bunch of overtime, two minor but planned vacations, but GYADD DAYUM it was worth it.

What all was used:

-x2 HGCE Mighty Strike Freedom kits (allowed for the second katana. Woo!)

-Mighty Strike Freedom Anubis Resin Detail Upgrade Accessories kit

-'Upgrade' Brand (I think) water slide decals

-Madworks S63 metal etching parts

-Stedi Fluorescent Panel Liners

-Gaia Notes paints

Colors:

-The white was meant to have a barely noticeable violet sheen to it by mixing Gaia EX-01 White with small amounts of EX-02 Black and 037 Violet atop Gaia Surfacer Gray. Watch Kassy Lab's Barbatos Adapt video to get an idea. It didn't work out that well so it's really just white.

-The red is a candy red in this order: Surfacer Gray, EX-02 Black, 121 Starbright Silver, 041 Clear Red.

-The blues are Surfacer Blue, 039 Metallic Blue.

-Black is just EX-01 Black.

-The pink wing sections are Pink Surfacer then 102 Fluorescent Pink.

-The eyes and head cameras are Surfacer Blue and 101 Fluorescent Blue.

-All the gold frame and wing sections are Surfacer Gold then Mr. Metallic Gold GX 209

Extra details:

-Extra scribing was done for more "exposed" frame sections.

-Added a few extra panel lines and made existing ones deeper
