    Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom Helmet

      I wouldn’t normally dedicate an entire build log/post to just a helmet build, but this is going to be part of me trying to make up for no Gundam cosplay log these past two years (in 2019 because we didn’t have time to log anything, in 2020 because Anime Expo was cancelled just like the rest of the world).…
