(https://i.imgur.com/8VkLGki.jpg)
- GMK WS2 for White
- RAL 010 80 20 for Pink
- RAL 210 85 15 for Light Blue
- RAL 230 70 30 for Dark Blue
Colours were initially colour-matched with a physical sample from the source, with "Pastel Pink", "Fine Blue" and "Fitness Blue" being the final custom colours used after playing with similar colours to see which variants would work best for the set. WS2 was chosen over the typical WS1 as it provides a more cooler tone, which helps define and tie in the overall theme better.

Amazing graphics, as always.
Noel might not of been able to make it by Christmas, but it's a pleasant surprise seeing it before our delayed estimate.
It seems due to DHL restrictions in Germany some vendors have received the set unexpectedly before others.
They should be shipping to most vendors now, with some vendors shipping out possibly as early as next week!
I'd like to thank you all for your patience, and I hope you'll be able to enjoy your set soon.
