HG Gundam Lfrith Ur.

I like Sophie and Norea quite a lot as Gundam Sickos, but boy were Ur and Thorn not very satisfying builds. They're both very difficult to pose and they don't get the love that even Lfrith Jiu does as far as detail. They definitely don't have the printed shell unit that Aerial and Lfrith have.

I do like Ur's chunky-ass legs though, those are good.

HG Aerial [Permet score six].

Was not expecting the colors to be so different beyond the Permet channels. It fits with the color palette shift in the Grassley duel and gives it this really nice look overall. The clear pieces in the legs, chest, and backpack have this nice blue glittery effect to emulate the particle effect that shows up at higher Permet levels. Construction-wise it's still an Aerial so it's still great to build. I've done five sets of Aerial GUND-bits now and that's kinda funny to me.

at this point we're close enough that i'm comfortable putting something down (also apple music replay is live today and prompted me to take a look)
