Is that just not the coolest paint scheme for the Freedom ever?

Vaikyuko · December 31st, 2007, 01:02 PM

Not really, no. I prefer the original colors to that. Also, Freedom is still an overpowered, cheap, incredibly boring Gundam. Destiny is superior.

CrisisLover · December 31st, 2007, 01:11 PM

I like tend to like symmetry in design for my favourite gundams, which Destiny unfortunately didnt have... but if Destiny had 2 anti-ship swords on its back instead... that would be the most awesome gundam! Hence why right now my fav is the Sword Calamity.

Besides abilities aside I still think Freedom looks good (if not too much like Double X).

Ew... That is nice. I do like the original scheme, however, I may like the black on this one even more... Maybe I'll try out that scheme later on...

That is a really nice colour scheme, very Strike Noir-esque; although I will agree with Treize X that the Freedom is way too overpowered to the point where it becomes boring.

I much prefered the Freedom in A.C.E 3 seeing as you could only use the full burst mode once then you had to wait ages for it to recharge, without the full burst, the Freedom isn't really that good; the Infinite Justice is my all time favourite Gundam at the moment.

It looks like a Police Gundam. Nice work.

smeagolthevile · January 1st, 2008, 02:05 PM

personally I like mindless' repaint of the Hi-Nu http://www.hobbyfanatics.com/index.php?showtopic=14841

Soluzar · January 1st, 2008, 02:14 PM

It's a good color-scheme no doubt, I just don't like the Freedom. I'm loving that Hi-Nu though. That's my kind of a Gundam. The colors are just as cool in both cases, but the Hi-Nu wins for just being the better design.

smeagolthevile · January 2nd, 2008, 08:53 PM

Yea, I like seeing variations of mechs, in the colors of the origional mechs (IE that nu)

germanturkey · January 2nd, 2008, 11:22 PM

incidentally, freedom and hi-nu are my two favorite gundams design wise.

and the freedom paintjob is amazing. the darker shades usually attract me more than the white ones. however, a little too much grey on the hi-nu.

CrossboneGundam · January 3rd, 2008, 11:24 AM

Painting a model black and grey doesn't strike me as a particularly noteworthy achievement.

CrisisLover · January 3rd, 2008, 12:36 PM

Aye custom colour schemes arent exactly a new idea, I just like this colour scheme.. seems totally kick *** compared with the original imo.

Mr March · January 3rd, 2008, 02:17 PM

IMO, black and grey colors on most mecha always look good, as long as the color scheme itself is done well. Sadly, so few black and grey color schemes are done well. This is Gundam custom is an exception. It's a very nice looking custom paint job and one of the best of its type, IMO. Thanks for sharing!
