So these next two frames came together awfully quick, once I got my hands on enough parts. The first is a Gundam Epyon inspired design that I will have to revisit this one in the near future to build some proper wings for (and maybe switch out the plasma edge's color), but it looks pretty nice right now with its temporary flashy wings. Too big for a battle right now, but looks great as a display piece. I give you Chubdam Dragoon!

Last new Frame for a while as I'm about to go on a month long business trip. Chubdam Destrier!
The idea for this guy came about the second I saw the new boomerang pieces in the Suicide Squad set. Despite the main body being fairly standard in style I did get the chance to play around with a few ideas. The front skirt around in particular I thought came out well, easily both the most stable and best looking attempt at frontal skirt armor I've tried. Additionally the shield was alot of fun to fiddle with, trying to capture the look of Blue Frame's. The shoulders funny enough gave me the most trouble as I tried to capture the angled armor look, but found it deceptively difficult to do. The chest also was a bit tricky to capture the source design of, and while it works for now might be something I revisit in the future.

Of note, this frame marks my first entry into Gundam Seed influences, but likely not the last. I wasn't a big fan of Seed over all, though I do think they got a few things right. I might segue to Iron Blooded Orphans when I return from my trip instead. I've seen several attempts at mobile workers and even a Graze or two, and I'm excited to try my hand at both. Random future ideas also include Gouf, Leo, Beargguy, Taurus, Freedom, Red Frame, Hi-Nu, Gelgoog, Zaku, GM Custome/Cannon, Ground Gundam, GM Ball, and Titans Gundam MK II.
