Got distracted for a few weeks, but heres the first half of a Gunpla double whammy to make up for it. First off its the Beguir-Pente!
Got very concerned when I saw this thing had a borderline-IBO number of stickers (thankfully just for the glowing parts), but they were surprisingly easy (if tedious for the ones on it's backpack thrusters) to put on. Also this might just be my favorite form of a mobile suit shield to boot, its a weird grip design like the Beguir-Beu's blades but its still really posable despite that. Kinda wish this thing had open-palm hands so I could do a Shield Plant/Shield Maiden pose with this thing, that shield is wumbo big.
Don't have the Hiendee (or Heindee Sturm) so I can't continue the Grassley Systems gunpla, but I'll double back around to those eventually. These are just too fun to build.
