Description
It's been 4 years since starting and finishing this in Lightwave. I think it's probably my favorite mesh, but so large (at the time) that it was difficult to load into Lightwave's layout program. One of my favorite "Gundams" even if it's not in the UC timeline.The mesh is "based" off of the Perfect Grade kit, with adjustments made to better suit the detail of the X100 frame Astray illustration from the Perfect Grade Strike kit -- which is actually a bit different in appearance, though ostensibly the same mobile suit.
The work on this was done Here
Software: Lightwave 8.5 (modeler, renderer, Photoshop (post process)
Gundam is (c) Bandai, Sunrise, Sotsu Agency

with all the respect to the UC fans, i'm not too fond of it... since i grew up with wing (and beyond).
with that said, the only suits that i frigging love from the "SEED timeline" are this awesome astray red frame, the nebula blitz, and the glorious strike noir!
the rest doesnt strike me as much *pun not intended*
*faves*

I love the Strike and Astray. Pretty much the whole x100 line. I'm not very aware of the Nebula Blitz so I can't say much there -- but I'm also a UC fan so I enjoy a lot of the old timey stuff as well.

I'm a big fan of Morishita Naochika's work, as well as the other boxart designers. Thanks, Nestkeeper

I'm fast discovering that I am not aware of the newer ones. The unusual look of this one is why I do like it. Thank you, JustATry.

That's a darn good haul. I've not had the chance to get at least half of those. I'd especially like to get the DSH custom, but again...I just don't have the room for it

MasterOkiAkai In reply to sandrum [2012-12-17 16:17:25 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, lesson I learned in all this, Master Grade, Perfect Grade, Real Grade, everything else is NOTHING!
And the DSHs cape makes for a WICKED baterang! XD

I'm actually looking at the real grade, it looks bloody fantastic considering the size.

Tremendous job as always especially the amount of details you put into this.

Thanks, Frank. I'm actually taken back by how much work was put into this so long ago. It's really not as easy to remember as I thought it would be. Good to see you again!

Fair enough and always a pleasure.Still worth the efforts nonetheless.

Definitely my favourite Gundam from the C.E timeline, and one of my all time favs- I love the Astray series! This a fantastic pose and a great rendering. Was it based on the PG frame? In any case, it's great to see Gundams from you again!

sandrum In reply to DarkeAngel [2012-12-16 14:34:30 +0000 UTC]
Yes, it sure was based on the PG, with some parts based on astray pg mockup in the strike pg kit manual.

I have to agree, even though it's not in UC/my favorite timeline it just has this cool impression about it. Color scheme is simple but the armor design and the fact that it wields a katana just give it this imposing look

I'm a sucker for this particular design myself.
