The battle was fierce, but in the end, retreat was the only option. A quartet of GMs from the Persephone, a Salamis Class Medium Cruiser, was dispatched to the asteroid base to assist the escaping personnel, but they too became victims of the Zeon's relentless assault.

The pilot of unit 02 barely managed to survive the large caliber fire sustained by his mobile suit. The damage was enough to disable the GM, but thankfully not enough to cause an explosion. Having popped his hatch, he made way to a nearby shuttle escaping from the base.

This diorama will depict an EFSF shuttle and personnel escaping from an asteroid base. The base of the diorama will be simulated rock with an open bay door. The shuttle will be flying out of the door while personnel help eachother inside and try to make it to the shuttle. A damaged GM Type C will be off to the side. It's pilot will be mid-flight between the GM and the shuttle.

The 1/100 scale shuttle is scratch built. Check out the in-progress pics here. the 1/100 figures are leftovers from several Master Grade kits.

The mobile suit is a Master Grade GM Type C. It will be a clean MS without weathering, but will have damage in certain areas. The damage will have scorch marks, but the overall look will be clean.

Below are images of the colors and decals for the shuttle and GM. I layed out the color scheme in Photoshop and the decals were designed in Flash MX and then sized and made ready for printing in Adobe Illustrator. The GM will have a very pale fractal camo on the orange pieces. The Orange and Red will be washed out to an almost pastel version of the colors.
