    A load of goodies came in the mail today! Loads of pla plate and angles and rods and and and stuff from evergreen.

    I put the MG RGM-79N GM Custom together in one sitting I was so excited.

    Soon the humble Daughtress will be brought up to GM standards by converting the GM Custom. I needed something to do while Bandai reissued the leopard… This project is getting bigger and bigger the more impatient I get.

        From the ground up;

        Feet need a bit of a mod at the heel
        Major change to the ankle armor.
        I’ve to add vents to rear of the calves and the exteriors while removing the interior ones.
        The skirt armor needs to be smoothed out and some “vernier” holes put in (mostly the front, it’s got two large wide vents at the bottom of those skirts)
        The crotch has to be modded so that it matches the Daughtress as it’s currently opposite (needs a big vent there too)
        Then I’ve to smooth out the chest and cover the GM’s yellow vents there.
        Change the sholders
        The front and sides of the Head need to be scratch built (I just freakin’ love the triclops look of the Daughtress)
        The backpack will be redone as well. The daughtress has a much smaller backpack than the GM Custom does.
        Shield needs changing (going to resurface it to match but keeping the under pinnings so it may be mounted to the arm as the GM currently does) and then I’ve to build it’s rifle.

        I’ve the series, art work and that 1/144 daughtress to use as my reference guide. I hope to do it proud as I love it’s humble nature.

        A load of little things then I’ve to decide which color scheme I’m going with. Likely it’ll be the standard colors as I really love em. The dark blue alternate colors are pretty cool though. I really love the standard colors on the Daughtress Command and the Daughtress Weapon so depending on my mood I may make it a command unit. Daughtresses don’t tend to last long so I’m going to make it look brand new off the factory floor and dispatched.
