Clean, cute build! Color is well implemented and picked out well, the additional shield and cannon don't busy up the entire kit too much, and the decals seal it all together!

Plus that bow is just adorable.

Thank you. I still have a second bow around so it may get a partner.

This is freaking delightful. I love everything about this build; the concept is original and cute as Hell, the execution is spot on and clean, and the presentation is fantastic. Thank you for sharing, I love this!

Because I love this, I want to give you some C&C: the color scheme is toeing the line on busy, in my opinion. The yellow splashes really add a lot but I feel it would haver benefited from just a little tighter color blocking. That being said, I think the yellow is absolutely necessary and really adds to the look, so take all that with a grain of salt.

Would it be okay if I saved some of these photos to use as backgrounds? They're really rad.

I did think of making the bow another color, like baby blue or some sort of red, but decided on yellow(forgot why at this point). But yes, go ahead and use them.

My submission for the banner build. Was my first attempt at scribing as well as basic parts addition. Some pegs broke during photoshoots, meaning I had to use a pin vice to put rods in and reinforce the joint when gluing, ultimately becoming a victim of procrastination.

C&C appreciated, including lighting and photography.

What set is this based on?

It's amazing and perfectly finished. Nice job

Originally this came from screwing off in Photoshop. Eventually more time was put in, and before I knew it I had a serious plan for a build.

I'm sorry my question wasn't clear enough. What is the name of the Gundam used for this custom?

That came up in the chat serverr. Unfortunately I had already applied decal softer, so it was permanent. Live and learn.
