Build log: 1/100 MG Freedom Gundam "1.75"
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/5/2/7/838527-60077-46-720.jpg)
The Freedom 2.0 kit. It has pretty much everything except the blue parts of the wings, along with the V-fin.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/5/2/8/838528-60077-70-720.jpg)
Torso assembled, this kit is very different from the Freedom 1.0 which is also assembled.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/5/2/9/838529-60077-75-720.jpg)
Upper torso assembled, you can see the additional detail of the newer kit.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/5/3/0/838530-60077-48-720.jpg)
Leg assembled. Unlike the original MG Freedom this does not have the splitting knee gimmick.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/5/3/1/838531-60077-81-720.jpg)
Most of the body assembled.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/5/3/2/838532-60077-59-720.jpg)
For 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.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/5/3/3/838533-60077-67-720.jpg)
So now for v-fin, I was considering multiple ways, first I made one with pla plate but it bends too easily at the ends.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/5/3/4/838534-60077-22-720.jpg)
I 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.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/5/3/5/838535-60077-71-720.jpg)
Used 3D printing to print out a v-fin I designed.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/5/3/6/838536-60077-13-720.jpg)
Compared to the pla-plate version, the V-fin is much stiffer, end points don't seem to blunt too badly.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/5/3/7/838537-60077-22-720.jpg)
Tried first prototype and mounted it on the head.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/3/8/838538-60077-34-720.jpg)
Adjusted the first prototype and added cuts to allow for the vertical portions to fit in.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/3/9/838539-60077-30-720.jpg)
Final v-fin design, I settled with this after 4 prototypes.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/5/4/0/838540-60077-50-720.jpg)
Compared to the old head, the newer head is more aggressive looking, which fits the aggressive design of Freedom 2.0.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/4/1/838541-60077-56-720.jpg)
Final v-fin design attached to body.
