Finally took the time to take some photos of this kit. The Striker is a 1/144 High Grade Kit and as far as I know only featured in videogames, so it might not have a particularly interesting story.
It's a GM at it's core with a fancy weapon and shield. The armor seems to fit it's intended purpose, close combat. To that extent it's armor is better than a standard GM but without the bulkiness of some of the other models.
The cool gimmicks are as stated before it's shield with extendable spikes and a twin spear who also converts to a scythe like weapon. Not only that but the spear/scythe is in fact composed by 2 beam sabers which can be detached, so it really is full of surprises.
Regarding the actual model building, I decided to use a more fictional approach and paint a more vivid type of green, instead of using military tones. I'm also finding I really much enjoy orange and white tones in the models, I'll have to do something in that nature in the future.
