EB-06/tc Graze Custom

I very rarely build non-Universal Century Gunpla as I have not seen much of the other TV series, but at the recommendation of a very talented modeler in our local community, I decided to try a kit from the Iron Blooded Orphans line. These kits are very impressive for HG size - having almost an inner frame type construction similar to much larger kits.

Since I didn't have any baggage with needing to make this kit look a certain way (I had yet to watch the IBO series at the time), it was used as a tester for chipping using masking fluid. Some light kitbashing was added - Desert Zaku cassette guns with new barrels were added, as well as fuel tank from a Gelgoog Jäger. The masking fluid chipping method ended up not offering any advantage that salt, sponge, or hairspray technique wouldn't offer, but it was still an educational experiment.

The finalized kit was gifted to a friend who has helped me mix my musical projects and now happily sits on top of a speaker in his studio! While I think I would probably stick with UC Gunpla for the time being, this is a really fun and well designed kit.
