Build log: 1/100 MG Freedom Gundam "1.75"
1
September 6, 2020The Freedom 2.0 kit. It has pretty much everything except the blue parts of the wings, along with the V-fin.2
September 6, 2020Torso assembled, this kit is very different from the Freedom 1.0 which is also assembled.3
September 6, 2020Upper torso assembled, you can see the additional detail of the newer kit.4
September 6, 2020Leg assembled. Unlike the original MG Freedom this does not have the splitting knee gimmick.5
September 6, 2020Most of the body assembled.6
September 6, 2020For the wings, I used two adapters that I 3D printed. First adapter joins the wings to the backpack, the second one allows me to use the Freedom 2.0 cannons on this kit.7
September 6, 2020So now for v-fin, I was considering multiple ways, first I made one with pla plate but it bends too easily at the ends.8
September 6, 2020I printed an adapter to use the 1.0 head on the 2.0 but I don't think it looks quite right so I went back to drawing board.9
September 6, 2020Used 3D printing to print out a v-fin I designed.10
September 6, 2020Compared to the pla-plate version, the V-fin is much stiffer, end points don't seem to blunt too badly.11
September 6, 2020Tried first prototype and mounted it on the head.12
September 6, 2020Adjusted the first prototype and added cuts to allow for the vertical portions to fit in.13
September 6, 2020Final v-fin design, I settled with this after 4 prototypes.14
September 6, 2020Compared to the old head, the newer head is more aggressive looking, which fits the aggressive design of Freedom 2.0.15
September 6, 2020Final v-fin design attached to body.16
September 6, 2020Primed to check layer lines and get rid of as much of it as possible.17
