Back wall is nothing but Gunpla, it's glorious. Prices are pretty decent too, high grades usually run me about 20-30 depending on the box size.

I have a local anime shop not too far from me, haven't had the chance to drive out to it. I would love to have it turn out like this.

I'd carry them for customers at my comic shop if I could. But my distributor rarely if ever carries gunpla anymore. The Thunderbolt HG's seem to be it. My boss and I are however working on setting up a Bluefin account though to hopefully alleviate these issues.

I feel your pain with Hobbytown, I have three around my workday commute, but I get in there and the prices demoralize me. It used to no be as bad, equaling about the price per kit plus shipping, and then one day it up and became extortion. Been an online shopper ever since.

Hardest part of customs is deciding what colour scheme to do.

I'm thinking for my sengoku I might go with the Gold frame colours. But do I go with the default or the Amatu custom? Hmmm...

I would go with the Amatsu Custom colorscheme. It differs enough from the base color scheme to differentiate it from its white armored cousins. Personally, I have the notion of coral blue frame, predominately light grey armor and lilac accents/secondary armor color.
