My Custom RX-78-2 Inspired Bisley Drawers

Back in April I realized I need a better way of storing my tools than cardboard catfood pallets. I had ordered my girlfriend a set of drawers (per her request) from this company called Bisley, and when I looked through their color options, I realized I could Frankenstein together a color combo that nodded to Gundam colors.

Figuring the worst they could say was no, I sent an email to Support for a custom order request, and this was part of the exchange. They said they could fulfill the request with a 10-14 week lead time.

The drawers arrived today unexpectedly. It came in two boxes because instead of removing the white drawers and placing the colored ones themselves, they chose to send me a whole set of white drawers and then the individual colored drawers. I switched the red and yellow from my original mockup because I think it looks better and is more reminiscent of Grandpa's chestpiece.

The normal drawers are usually $123 before shipping and I knew there'd be an upcharge. I'd set a personal limit of $200 with shipping. It ended up costing $182 total ($165 before shipping).

I'm pretty stoked and I can't wait for my girlfriend to see it when she wakes up.

Not sure what to do with the spare white drawers though...
