a.k.a. GMK Maine a.k.a. L.L.Gmk

I'd like to thank Kingk22 for helping out with some dope renders! Wonderful to work with and good at what he does!

More renders here:

L.L.Bean is dope, and I love most of their colorways and brand feel. One of the more iconic
parts of their lineup is obviously the Bean Boot. The base set colors are based on the bean
boot colors, and then accented in other colors the brand is known for using, so lighter greens
and maroon.

Changed the name recently to Freeport as a suggestion from the comments. It seems appropriate
being the town where L.L.Bean was founded. In addition to that, this set seems to be one that
calls out to the Maine-iacs in our midst.

Going for a color feel similar to the brand itself. Leather, dark dark olive green, light brown
accents, and posibly a bit of yellow in a few things.

I think of paintings like this when I think of the brand:

Novelty wise I think all kinds of things would fit. Hiking imagery, branding
callbacks altered for the set, wildlife, log cabins, camping. Really a lot of possibilities here,
and would love any feedback or ideas those interested in the set would like! I will be working on
some of these over the next few weeks as well, and will post here as I do.

Color Palette:

A quick note on the mod color labeled "RAL 790-M"; It may almost look
black, but I assure you it has just a touch of green, to match the bean boot rubber.

The above base set is not what I plan to be the final base kit, or final available/offered kits, It's simply a render I had made to present the color concept, and see how to community felt about another beautifully ugly set idea I recently had. The IC will be edited and updated as I have more ideas, get more feedback, and create more items for the thread. I'm hoping that posting early will promote more input from people interested, so that a final design might be a better offer overall.

Also this set will feature a "Pwade Eats Jeans" cap.
