The paint is dry, the top coat cured and we’ve reached that fun part of the build where you add the armour pieces and assemble.And because of all the work up-front, it took only a few minutes to put everything together. I’ve kept the photos with the blue/red/pearl on the left and the deactivated/white scheme on the right.  The skirt section goes together well and has tonnes of detail brought out by the extensive masking. The small colour details on the rear are a little lost though. Here you can actually make out the pearl armour on the left compared to the plain white on the right. The masking has brought out tonnes of detail on these parts. There are not many panel lines because with all those pieces you hardly need them. The feet just needed their single white/grey armour piece added. Ankles are simple, but seem to work well.  I do like the shoulder sections. Their design is simple enough, but the detail looks great.The completed arms went together very well, with the armour firmly snapping into place. Again, I’m pleased I went for lots of masking for the details, although there were places I could just paint a whole piece grey or white to get the differentiation.  I love the look of the head. The tiny side panels were a right pain to fit though! I couldn’t resist taking a picture during assembly as it was just looking so good. And fully assembled, this is one mean deactivated Strike! Just a quick shot of the soles of the feet. The inside of the skirt section looks great, with nice detailing. The normal coloured Strike looks pretty mean too.And here’s the Strike Brothers together.

Now onwards to the weapon packs!
