The innovative development from the SEED program, the Skygrasper is a battlefield delivery aerospace fighter, dropping equipment to Strike Gundam as needed. It shown here with the maneuver pack, ready for delivery.
The skygrasper can make use of the modules itself, as well, including the sword and launcher, and earned its first stripe by spearing a drone with the sword midair.

The same test mech, this time with a giant plasma sword, its cutting blade capable of lopping a limb off anything short of an assault mech, or getting some extra reach with the conventional metal blade on the tip.
The white stripe is indicative of progress in testing, with each successful test widening the stripe, until the torso and head are all white, ready for production.

The Draconis Combine went large, eschewing the unsamurailike shields in favor of giant fucking weapons, in this case a (two) hand held heavy gauss rifle, caught here mid-flight as the test pilot improvised a partial jump jet maneuver to offset the kick of the rifle, thrusting him backward a good thirty meters.
This maneuver was clipped and used for the sizzle reel, obviously.

I think that's all the red done, and the grey stripe down the center as well. Just need to finish the weapons and maybe do the glow of the eyes in the head, if I'm feeling it, then it's attitude of the knife time.

Close enough to done to mount on the bases for easier handling.

More base work today. The paint scheme is pretty simple, so I'll probably finish it tomorrow morning.

That’s a big turkey.

And now the magenta is mostly gone. It'll stay there, down in the shadows, unobtrusively making things look better. The unsung hero of the minis.

And so it begins. Bases are imprinted and drilled, sides filed smoothish, and primer laid down, a nice quinacridone magenta for my shadow color.
