Here's my final painted up Astray for my Here's my final painted up Astray for my Bro-Build with Justinius!



I made a few changes to colors applications, so this isn't exactly a stock scheme. Overall I'm extremely pleased with how the kit came out. This is the first kit I've used a future floor topcoat on, and overall I'm satisfied with how it came out; but I will need to experiment with it more before I'm 100% happy with it.



It looks like the Astray is going to be the first in a long line of build offs this summer. So stay tuned for more!

Suit 180:





The Astray is slightly shorter than your average Gundam type mobile suit. The design is also a bit on the lean side, but the details on the arms and legs give it a 'muscular' appearance.

































































Details:









The two raised details on the top of the chest were carefully painted with red. Each finger was carefully hand painted with Tamiya White.







Red head with green eyes. You can kind of make out the two titanium pistons buried in the chest from this angle.







Titanium leg piston.



Action Poses:









I think this kit looks best holding a single sword.



























Tactical Arms:









The TA is a little too heavy and too unwieldy to pose with.







Gatling gun mode. I took this photo just to show off the sensors near the barrel of the gun.







Back pack/back heavy mode.









If you tweak the balance well you won't need to lean the kit this far forward.
