I bought this RG Unicorn Gundam from The Gundam Base Tokyo in 2019... I think it's about time I build it!

25 days later I started watching Biboo build her Tokai Teio model kit, so I was inspired to get back to my Suzuka build... Also my Gemini Cup preparation runs are killing me 😭 #Umamusume #PlaMo

At the end of the #Umamusume Taurus Cup Open League I ended up 3rd. The late start Gold Ship was lore accurate. Being the only Nice Nature user and ending up 3rd was lore accurate. Next up: surviving the Gemini Cup!
