Wow. Been a bit lax posting on here, haven’t I? Here’s an updatey update for you. After the Wing Gundam commission build, I made a Freedom Gundam for myself, and MAN do I lov…
You should do another one of these with the new Freedom RM once it comes out. with the extra moulded details I reckon it could look even better than this one!

Hi, just two questions here regarding the PG Banshee Norn
1. If i want to preserve the shine of the plated gold parts from degrading due to direct/indirect sunlight, do i spray on gloss topcoat over it or leave it as it is

Nice display!
