This project was such a great learning experience for me. As a relatively new gunpla enthusiast I gained valuable experience, particularly in airbrushing and working with different types of plastic. It may not seem much, but the modifications I attempted here have given me the confidence to take on more extreme projects in the future. I might even try my hand at a full scratch build someday! I'm just glad that I was able to come up with a nice concept and stick to it until the end, despite the many mishaps I encountered. I'll be taking a week off of gunpla to recharge my batteries, but you can be sure i'll be back with an even bigger project - so keep an eye out for new posts!
