This glass is coloured using Cobalt and that pop that you get in the glass is what I wanted to capture in the blue of the set
A perfect match for the blue another intense colour, that is also the colour of a Cobalt based compound
Cobalt in its pure form tends to be a silvery colour but not to light, and in this case RAL 7001 Silver grey worked perfectly

Having 2 base kits introduced some spacebar challenges. Hopefully this overall approach pleases most

Contest - Free Scholars Kit Giveaway - Extended due to more changes in my schedule. Form closes December 26th 11:59PM EST
In past sets my novelties have always raised a lot of inquiries. Instead of just listing what each one is and how it ties in with the set, I thought a contest would be fun, for you to tell me what the novelty is and why it fits GMK Cobalt. Successfully answering the questions on the form below will open up a giveaway channel on The Carnival Discord server for the chance to win a free Scholars Kit. See the form for more details
