A gift for @pamithebunterfly2007 even though it's not her birthday but I thought that she should have a gift from me okay

While I have been idle here I have not been idle build to day I present three of my most recent builds two from WFM and one from G Gundam.

For the WFM kits both are high grade kits, from Grassley Defense Systems, the first being the Beguir-Beu, and the second Heingra.

From Gundam is a no grade kit of the French Rose Gundam. Probably one of my favorite designs from the show. The kit required a TON of color correction, but due to its age I just painted it because the sticker were way too old to try and use.

[argumentalist]

There's just so many fantastic designs in Witch from Mercury that don't get nearly enough screen-time. And the Beguir-Beu is a great example.

I love the colors on this kit. The different shades of purple/lavender against the white are so striking.

And like the rest of the HGWFM line - there's no polycaps. This is a very solid plastic-on-plastic build. I guess maybe I'm a little worried about long-term wear from that? But right now, at least, it means a very solid and very poseable kit.

So, right off the bat, I'm annoyed by this head.

There's very unique clear parts - but they don't catch the light well. And there's nothing good to paint chrome behind those parts. There's some foil stickers, but I hate to put them over the clear parts.

I tried painting the underside of those clear parts chrome, but that didn't turn out great. I guess it's OK for now, but I'd love a better solution. Those clear bits don't pop nearly as much as I'd like them to.

The torso is just kind of one block. There isn't a separate waist section like you often see - although there is some good articulation in the middle, and you still get a decent ab-crunch.

There's a tiny little pilot seat under that clear bubble. There's no pilot figure, of course, since this is just an HG kit. But it's a nice little bit of detail. I don't think it's visible in this picture but I painted that seat black.

The arms and legs have the same shiny inset bits that I saw with the Michaelis - which just makes sense since that's a further refinement of this design. I think I mentioned it in that post... But this really looks more like it should be a Peil design than a Grassley one. It looks far more alien than the Dilanzas do.

Continuing the insect aesthetics... The backpack legitimately looks like a moth sitting on my desk.

Again I find myself somewhat annoyed by the accessories in this kit.

There's no alternate hands at all - just the two holding hands. And while we do get a weapon stand, which is fantastic, there's just one. So I can't display both non-kinetic pods at the same time.

I guess I'm just expecting too much from HG kits? I know they're obviously not going to contain as many bells and whistles as MG or RG kits... But I'd be willing to pay another couple dollars for two weapon stands in this box. Or an extra set of hands.

This kit is just straight-up striking. I don't think I've got anything else like it on my shelf.

The Michaelis obviously has a similar color-scheme... But this thing looks downright insectoid. The head and arms remind me of a preying mantis. The backpack looks like a moth. And then you pop off those non-kinetic pods and it looks even weirder.

As I mentioned - I'm a little annoyed that there's only one weapon stand and there aren't more hand options... And the feet are a little unsteady. It's clearly designed to be up on a stand. But those are really tiny little nit-picks.

It's a really fun, quick build that I can heartily recommend to anyone.
