I think all that’s left is to plug in the wings here and there and I should be finished ^^;. My tweet about clear black paint was referring to painting the windshield on this thing… to give it that tinted look but looks too blah. I kinda regret it so I’ll be stripping out the black and painting it clear blue instead.
It doesn’t look too bad… just could’ve looked better ^^;. I didn’t bother inserting the pilots in xD.

it’s just like Macross VF ^^

After giving the backpack to Strike, the aircraft just looks so redundant..

@hypnos
In the show, the Skygrasper was like a support unit for the Strike, and it usually would bring along the Launcher pack, would use it’s weapons. I kind of think it as a Guncannon for Gundam Seed.

For a PG it kinda looks like its easy to build. I dunno, I’m just looking at those shots. ^^

I think the black looks great! :S
December 16, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Didnt bother puting the pilots in… hmm, Your just like me, On my Master Grades I NEVER put in the pilots. Dont know why, I just dont :p LOL
December 16, 2009 at 6:20 PM
Never knew they had clear black…
I’m not sure why so many people seem to hate the
skygrasper. The design isn’t mind blowing, but it’s still a fine design and good details. (For those of you who don’t even own the kit before judging it, there are lots of hatches and movable parts that makes it worth the PG category.)
I painted one red.

Hahah… whethet its clear black or opaque black doesn’t look any difference for this case… XD
December 16, 2009 at 9:41 PM
I thought that was the White Base… ^^
Yeah….the black there is covering too much.

z how bout you tint the cockpit dark purple?????? XD
December 17, 2009 at 5:16 AM
i haven’t build mine, maybe next week :D

I just realized I screwed up on the wording in this post (what I get for rushing). I meant to say it would be nice to have clear black paint (it doesn’t exist.. I think) so I can tint the windows instead of painting it solid black.
Reptile, I’m lazy. Can’t take that extra moment to cut out the pilots xD
Darkage, Love your skygrasper! It reminds me of the airmaster ^^
ercjohn, there’s not a single purple in my paint set xD
December 17, 2009 at 8:22 PM
whoa. Darkage, that is one SWEET looking skygrasper ^^. that’s how they should have made it in the anime (or atleast for a custom ace color or something)
December 17, 2009 at 10:23 PM
yea, I leave untinted… with those two unpainted pilots…
yea, it’s eyesore… before I have got clear black paint, I won’t bother to paint it…. :(
