AKB48 Gunpla model inspired CD cover and color schemes - UPDATED IMAGES

Using 12 Nobel Gundam, the modeler produced this awesome AKB48 CD cover art inspired theme.

Seven of the nine model team members hail from Fukushima, one of the prefectures hardest hit by the March 11 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) disaster. While all of the members and their families survived, the damage to their homes, the ripple effects on their jobs, and the everpresent threat of radioactivity from the nuclear power plant accident have altered their lives.

Nevertheless, the team members took heart and encouragement from all the people around the world who donated and volunteered, including AKB48. The team decided to take 12 1/144 Nobel Gundam models to recreate the "Iiwake Maybe" CD. To give each figure an individual look, the team modified the models' exteriors and built the ties, ribbons, shoe laces, and other accessories from scratch.
