Not sure if this is the right forum, so sorry if it isn't.

The troso is super fragile but worth it for the shape. The articulation is alright

Thank you! Yeah I tried blanacing him just on the cannons but the smallest gust of wind would knock him over so had to compromise.

Made a B model using pieces from set 70834 "MetalBeard's Heavy Metal Motor Trike!" Very happy with the shape I was able to get from the pieces and was even able to give metalbeard a body with the spares.

Thank you, I'm definitely tempted to do a redesign that has a more coherent colour scheme since my selection of parts has grown. ^_^ Truth be told while taking the black and white photos I just wanted to downplay the rainbow warrior nature of the build. Only thought about the in universe lore explanation after the fact.

This is a model based on Draez's model. I came across his brickshelf folder sometime in 2006. As soon as I saw the available LDR files I knew I had to build the model. What ensued was my first and only large scale lego project. I learnt the basics of ldraw to make out the construction and found a lot of clipping sections and parts that I did not have access to, so I changed quite a few things internally both to substitute parts and improve stability while still trying to maintain the shaping. About a year later I was done with model and since 2008 the strike freedom has stood on my shelf. Its missing 4 of its 8 dragoon and the colour scheme makes no sense but I'm quite proud of it. I'll be moving this year, so I thought that I'd take a few photos and share them before I packing it.

Absolutely love how youve got the armour shifting when you articulate the limbs. And those wings! Its a beautiful sight to behold.

Damn. Really awesome.

Amazing job. As others pointed out the head is very well done. And ofcourse great gob on the transformation!

Thanks! Yeah I kept the build as simple as possible since the bricks I had access to at the time were a bit limited.

Hey guys first post here, just wanted to share a this. I'm rather satisfied with how it turned out. [Warning shameless self promotion] And if you guys like it drop by the project's behance page if you want. [Warning shameless self promotion] Also hope this was the right forum to post this. Apologies if I picked the wrong one.
