I never have seen one of these Rob. The mossy perch adds a lot for me. Great job of taking a busy looking BG and making it not be so busy. Also, this is really sharp for 1/50. Nice and steady!

Great job on the techs here, Rob. It looks like some tricky light to work with and you handled it superbly. This is a very cool looking species. Congrats.
