MG Wing ver ka. Strike Noir Colors

[beertax]

Hi all, my photo skills are not that great so I only took a few select fotos of my latest work, the MG Wing ver ka. Custom. The colour scheme is from Strike Noir from Gundam Seed. I did the wing mod where the top and bottom parts can spread out, added around 30x1mm beads plus 6x2mm tubes from mechaskunk, and used the long range lance also from mechaskunk as the weapon of choice. The decals are from Bandai's Wing Zero ver ka. waterslide series, and I added the crossbone emblem on the chest and shield to add to the badass look. Enjoy!

While I was slightly befuddled at seeing a Wing in Seed colors, I remembered that I'd seen a Wing done in none Wing-era colors before... somewhere...

The colors really work here. You did a nice job implementing non-traditional colors onto the Wing. I'm not sure how I feel about the black head, but I like it overall. The lance looks good with that shield, too. Makes me think of the Crossbone, for some reason.

Not sure what you might be violating, but you're good here as far as I can tell.

I like the way your Gundam turned out, it looks nice will all of the lance the and the non-Gundam Wing colors.

Being a fan of Wing Zero, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the colors you chose worked on this kit.  Your work on the wings is what really caught my eye from the start. Congrats on the work you did on this kit.

Very nice.  I'm actually working on a 1/144 HG Wing Zero Custom that I am planning on doing the very same scheme on. Of course mine won't look near as good.

[beertax]

thx all.  this is actually my 3rd MG Wing gundam, I painted 2 ver ka. and 1 Wing Zero in the past year - than stripped the Wing Zero to paint this kit.  I just cannot seem to get enough of this design.  I am actually considering doing yet another MG Wing ver ka., this time maybe a Amuro Ray custom with Nu Gundam colors.  I am forcing myself to stop and do other projects though

nice.

nice.

Thank you.

That's a nice scheme for Wing, I like it a lot! 

The mods you've done is very fitting, and the lance is such a fitting weapon too.  Look forward to seeing more kits (more Wings?) from you.

[FichtenFoo]

Interesting scheme. Shocking at first on the WKa, but nicely done.

[Chex]

Yeah I love how those colors seem to work really well for that MS. The lance makes it seem a little magestic imo. If ya do another in Amuro colors, how about one in Char colors as well eh?

[robofreak]

Nicely done! I like the color scheme a lot. It's almost as if Wing Zero was meant to have those colors.

The lance works well on it too. Now Bandai needs to make an MG Funsake model so it could really have a medieval look.

[dr_feelgood]

I ahve to agree with them! The scheme was a bit shocking at first but very refreshing at the same time. its not everyday you gonna see a black WZC! great job!

[Funaka]

Wow! Really great job! You've addressed the things I don't like about the Wing Ka really well, the way-over-the-top red white blue and yellow paint scheme, the funky wings and the rifle that requires the arm-mounted ammo pods.

The lance is a great choice of weapon, it compliments the long shield and wings really well. The wing extension mods make the wings look more like, uh, wings and not some drawing tools stuck on the back of a gundam (I'm thinking of those plastic triangles that let you measure 30, 60, snd 90 degrees, are ruled on the edges, and are hollow in the middle, the top one in this picture http://yoas.net/alv-triangles.jpg), and the color scheme makes it look sinister, as opposed to clown-like.

Nice!

[starboykb]

That was a pretty good color from strike noir.

[GlauG]

I have to say, the thing that struck me most looking at it was how awesome the Lance looks.   Well done overall, though I'm not sure I like how much black there is even though I know Strike Noir looks like that...

[race179]

The color scheme works really well with the Wing Ka.  I love how the angles and panels of Master Grade kits lend themselves to the use of different color combinations, and you utilized these characteristics nicely. Like fichtenfoo said, the color scheme is at first a little jarring (to me because of the dark colors; I'm just used to seeing Ka.'s kits in bright whites and primary colors), but the Strike Noir theme was a good call.

[sentinel011]

your weapon of choice reminds me of the elite grunt units in Devil May Cry 4, but keeping the lance weapon intact.

Looks a bit awkward at first glance, but a job well done! looks like it's out to outdo epyon in terms of melee with that lance 

[beertax]

Wow I am gratified by all the positive responses.

My current project is another MG Wing ver ka., I stripped an old kit I painted in OOB colors to do an Amuro Ray custom with Hi Nu colors, some custom parts, custom decals, an Astray rifle which I love, and a shot lance from mechaskunk.  Hope to have it by end of next week :)
