Collab HG GM Guard Custom

Introduction:

Happy new year everyone! This is the final collab from 2020. It was a rough year, but the collabs were (mostly, looking at you PizzaMaster) great! Rooster submitted his Guard Custom for this round. He took the time to complete a lot of custom scribing throughout the kit. He also replaced and magnetized some elements of the model. 

'Collab' is a collaborative project that I run for my patrons 4 times a year. Patrons are invited to submit a kit that they've constructed for consideration. I then take that kit, give it a nice paint job and send it back to its owner. I think it's a fantastic way to collaborate with my patrons and give them something really cool. If you think this is a neat idea and want to be involved in 2021's collab events you can join my Patreon here.

Kit Talk:

A couple of weeks ago a few of us were chatting on our Discord server that there hasn't been a 'plain' GM release from Gundam the Origin. This isn't quite there, but at least we have the classic color scheme down! Rooster also provided a set of Delpi Decal's fantastic decal's for this set. I only regret that we didn't get a white version of the large 'CV69' pattern for the camo shield.
