HG Gundam Sword Striker Pack

(https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/84k7qf/custom_3d_printed_hg_sword_striker_pack_imgur/)

This is a custom striker pack for High Grade (HG) 1/144 gundam model kits, inspired by the sword strike and sword impulse gundams. It's printed in separate pieces so that no painting is required, but minor touchups with a silver sharpie can add a lot to the visual appeal. The current design fits onto the HG Genoace II from Gundam Age, but there's additionally included a prototype version for the HG Adele (also from Gundam Age).

The sword itself has a set of holes for gluing in a toothpick or piece of plastic runner to hold the SwordHiltTop piece to the SwordBlade piece, but this is an optional attachment. There additionally are holes at the bottom of the SwordHiltBottom piece into which a small piece of runner should be inserted to enable combining two swords together. The arms are attached to the backpack and swords using pieces of polycap runner, in order to maximize the lifetime of rotation points, but regular plastic runner pieces should work too. I hope the images are self-explanatory enough for how everything goes together.

I'm going to be working on creating further adapters for other HG kits, but am currently limited to the kits I have with me at the moment.
