Hey everyone, time for Update #9! The entire inner frame is officially fully assembled, and the final result is absolutely breathtaking. Please take a look at the photos to see it in all its glory. Practically every single element you see here was completely repainted from scratch. I used a rich metallic palette including chrome, gunmetal, meteorite iron, and my own custom mixes of silver and gold to create a subtle, elegant gold tone that blends beautifully with the heavy metal shades. I also installed the complete LED system, which you can see fully lit up in the photos. This is my very first Perfect Grade kit, and as the name implies, I wanted it to be truly perfect from top to bottom. Seeing it all come together made me literally jump for joy because it turned out even better than I dreamed.

Now for the final stretch. My next step is applying the waterslide decals directly onto the individual armor panels. I decided to do this without test-fitting them onto the frame first, because I really do not want to risk snapping or damaging any painted parts when taking them back off later. After the decals are done, I will topcoat each part individually with a matte lacquer, assemble the entire kit, conduct the final photoshoot, and wrap up this amazing project.

This journey has been such an incredible adventure for me. Taking part in this competition turned out to be deeply meaningful and transformative. With a lot of recent life stress, heavy responsibilities, and challenges in my personal life, I probably never would have found the time or energy to tackle a Perfect Grade on my own. This contest gave me the exact spark of motivation I needed, and it showed me once again just how deeply I love model building and how important this hobby is to my life. Thank you all so much for your support, and see you at the grand final!
