HGUC RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type

Mobile SUIT: RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type
Division: 10th Artillery
Division Insignia: Yellow Roman Numeral X on Navy Blue Shield
Rank: Corporal

Comments:
For this kit, i wanted to stay away from the traditional all red body and white head color scheme. I always thought it looked a bit wierd with a solid color for the entire body (whether red, blue, green, etc) with a white head. In my ideal UC universe, the federation would have standard colors much like any military with their standard colors. So I decided that for my collection, I should use a variation of the standard color for the GM as the standard scheme for all my "grunt" EFSF Mobile SUITs. I think if the UC universe was real, like any military, colors would be conforming (with the exception of special forces or ace pilots). So I chose light grey and primary red for my standard Feddie colors. With a GM 79 and a GM command to match in color and markings, I think it will be a nice addition to my HGUC collection. The seams where a real pain in the A for this kit, not paint friendly engineering at all. Anyways, as usual mistakes here and there but im glad i finally got to finish.

- All purpose acrylic paint
- Iridescent wrapping paper for visor (From Michael's Craft Store)

HGUC RX-79(g) Ground Gundam




Pilot: Lt. Chen-Prescott of 1st Platoon
Code Name: Cougar1
EFF Division: 52nd North American Mountainous Expeditionary Force (NAMEF)
Symbol for 52nd: Stars and Stripes Heritage
Platoon: CO of 1st and 2nd MS Platoon of the 52nd(AKA Shock Troopers)
Symbol for 1st and 2nd Platoon: Spartan Helmet
Home State: California
Background:

Lt. Chen-Prescott drafted into the Federation Military as an officer to infantry and later the special forces of the 52nd in 0079. Later in 0079, due to superior test scores on the EFSF MS test, he was given an RX-79(g)and due to lack of paint supplies portions of factory grey would be left, however, the scheme proved advantageous on the Western American Mountian range where granite rock is abundant. As leader of the MS team, he was in charge of creating the 1st and 2nd Mobile SUIT platoon for the 52nd. The MS team earned the nickname "shock troopers" and the Spartan helmet insignia was given to the MS team after stopping the Zeon Invasion Force of North America in one of the bloodiest battles on the ground . After preventing Zeon from further advance, the 52nd new mission would be to eliminate and push back all Zeon Forces from the continent. In 0081-82, the Shock Troopers would be assigned as a special OPs MS team to hunt down all 17 Zeon MS scattered along the western part of the North America with guerilla warfare tactics. He would be the only original surviving Shock Trooper member to survive that campaign and hid his MS in the mountains. In 0083, due to his skills in hunting Zeon Remnants a new Federation branch known as the Titans would later recruit him, where he would serve as a Platoon leader for the Titans until news about a Colony gassing by the Titans caused him to defect to the AEUG. He retired after the Gryps War and continued the rest of his life as an adventurer of the American Mountains where he died. Some hikers have said to have seen his missing ground gundam patrolling the same grounds he campaigned in. Internal Affairs has denied any sightings due to lack of evidence, however, new reports of sightings still continue to this day.
