The Perfect Grade Strike Freedom while using the same frame as the strike and the astray PG’s doesn’t come close to their level of surface detail. In order to add some detail without going too far my client wanted the kit to have more panel lines.

The somewhat recent Real Grade Strike Freedom is the most detailed version of the Strike Freedom out there and is a great example of panel line placement, so my client requested something in a similar vein.

What I did first was sand down the areas where I planned to put the lines and then took a pencil and drew out the lines on half of the model. Once I came up with a good panel layout I redrew them with specific measurements and started scribing.

I initially wasn’t going to do much scribing to this model but doing these lines were frankly the most fun I had with this build.

In order for my client to see the lines better I took a pencil to them even though it makes the scribed lines look somewhat messy. Once everything was okayed I put everything back on it for one last set of pictures before the breakdown for paint.
