build complete: HG Cherudim Gundam SAGA Type.Y2K!

sometimes i name my recolors and sometimes i don't. this time i did! As You Might Expect, i'm a big fan of Cherudim and especially a big fan of the Cherudim SAGA (short for Special Assault Gundam Arms), also delightfully known as the Cherudim Seven Guns. (they call it that on account of its seven guns, you see.)

i would've loved for the original Cherudim SAGA to have its own kit (its armor is black! very sleek! very cool!), but alas, the only one that actually exists is build fighters' Type.GBF recolor, which puts it in this brownish-greyish urban camo palette that i absolutely cannot stand (sorry, yuuki). so i got the kit, got my paints, and got to work!

i used tamiya light gunmetal spray on the guns and the armor, hand-painted the mint green accents with a 60-40ish ratio of metallic green and ex new white gundam marker paint, and did all the panel lines in a green archival ink pen. the end result reminded me of those old teal iMac G3s i so adored in my elementary school computer lab, hence the designation "Type.Y2K".

very pleased with it, especially the hand-painted parts! i've truly become some kind of Paintbrush Fiend lately...
