We have a few more protos being coated and will update with IRL pics. Renders are approximations and color changing coating is tough to match! Please note the grey is a little tough to capture, here's another photo of it in natural light (https://i.imgur.com/GkIqaYE.png)
Alexotos will be building a Southpaw Fossil on August 27!
