Man, 800 hours shows. 20 work weeks later... This is one of the best custom kits I've ever seen. You have great work as it is, but this is... omg...

[@StudioGundam]

Thanks Kailen! Time not wasted. #achieved

[@johnwaggner9143]

One of my favorite things about Studio G, beyond the impressive creativity, masterful crafting, attention to detail, wonderful designs and thoroughness...is that he still plays with them at the end. Despite all the professional modifications, he never forgets that in the end, they are toys to be used for play and imagining stories, and the posing he does at the end of all his videos demonstrates how much he loves what he does. Truly an inspiration for us all.

[@kenneth6102]

This build is dope! The custom details are just sick! Whilst I have to confess that the colour choice is not my favourite, it works surprisingly well! It's also very refreshing to see something other than crimson red. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

The way you unveiled the final work by comparing your past attempts to what you've achieved here put a smile on my face.

See, it's builders like you that keep pushing me and my own ideas. Been following multiple sources of information to do scribing and plate work and even custom weapons design and things have definitely gotten better over the years since I restarted building Gunpla.
