Basic idea of what ive been bouncing around as a paint scheme on my nu. the coloring program is kinda limited but its a good general guide for the colors. The blue will become pink. the yellow will become silver and the off white will become a green similar to the green psycho from inside the nu ver ka. lemme know what u folks think.
i do plan to use white LED’s to illuminate the psychoframe panels. the white seems to make the green plastic look better than green LEDs that ive tried so far. ive done some experimenting and ive got some good plans for this build.
The chest is done and this kit seems to building quite nicely. I feel that it is screaming for a LED light job and based on what i have seen inside the chest it looks very workable.
I was afraid that the clear version armor would look a bit boring compared to the normal white but I’m happy to be proven wrong.
Is the inner frame plain grey or is it different for this version?
I was also happy to that the clear parts look good on the kit. It looks like the frame on this kit (or a good chuck of it at least) is done in a gloss injection style. Very similar to the RG trans-am exia that I build a few months back
Fresh pot of coffee, gundam unicorn playing as white noise, and i am ready to crack open this FA Unicorn. I have heard there are a few slight nuances with this kit though so im looking to compile any issues that people ran into while building it. Mainly so i am aware of them as i build and hopefully i can remedy them in the process. Its the gunpla…[Read more]
On the OVA version, I remember that they changed the legs so they could bend a little bit further. I am not sure if the changes made it to the version you have. If you have extra leg, chest, and head pieces, then they made the update.
It is a pretty straight forward build. The stickers on the horn and V fin kinda…[Read more]
This is my first MG Unicorn, in fact my first unicorn period. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for the extra parts that would indicate the updated parts. Im planning on using water slides for the V-fin although i have had some nice results with sharpie on the clear parts for a nice effect. I did some detailing on the pilot with orange and red…[Read more]
if i were u i hate the look of the v fin on the unicorn as it doesnt really match well in my opinion i have built a few unicorns and every unicorn i build would panel line the v fin into the colors of the psycho frame along with inking in the face mask too if ur familiar with gunpla inoichis z’s unicorn i think those unicorns are the best with…[Read more]
Thats something i will have to look into along with trying to find a sharpie to match this blue-green psycho frame. i did some detailing of the cockpit while watching the anime and used some lime green on the edges of the seat. impossible to see when the kit is complete but im a sucker for complete detailing of kits.
in my opinion a dark psycho frame color looks nicer on the unicorn becasue the armor is white and u have a dark color on the inside to show off it contrasts nicely so wht i would do for ur psycho frame instead of using sharpie go get a clear green tamiya spray can and paint up the psycho frame itd look nice as for the v fin if ur interested take…[Read more]
only thing is the armor on this kit is clear not white so there is that. also getting a hold of tamiya here in the states is a bit of a chore so it might be easier to match with sharpie.
I honestly haven’t had any problems with the unicorn and I’ve built the OVA version and the Banshee. The build itself is a bit complex but nothing too tricky there. The final result in Destroy Mode has finicky ankles and the waist lock likes to come loose but I find that they’re pretty easy to work around that. The only other issues are just the…[Read more]
so by finicky ankles do you mean the armor parts like to slide around or that they don’t hold pose/weight? Would you recommend a stand for this kit? im planning on just a simple standing pose since this kit is going to eat up some serious shelf space. plus all the weapons…all those weapons…
By finicky ankles I mean that there are a whole lot of swivel and ball joints inside of the ankle which makes them quite hard to pose and prone to collapsing. I can get the regular Unicorn and Banshee to stand and pose with no problems but I think that with all the weight from FA it may be good to get an action base. That or you may want to leave…[Read more]
gotcha, well then it might be in my best interest to get an action base for it. it might be time to look for a display case as well since my desk is running out of space on short order.
Hi @ryan ..Just a quick suggestion..could I suggest that hlj.com add a wishlist option since sometimes when I’m browsing thru hlj.com I find things I wanted to buy but have to wait for payday…if the option exist I can always remember things I wanted to buy.thanks
You’re not the first person to request this. In one of the episodes they say that they are working on it, but had to resolve some other issues on the site first. Have to admit, this was almost a year back..
In the meantime, there is something out there that may help you in the meantime. It’s called a piece of paper and a pen… 😛
There was a RG wing on display at comic con and it seemed tiny. Not just a little bit smaller but very tiny in comparison to the other RGs. Not going to stop me from getting it though since it looks amazing.
Have to ship out since one item at 60 days limit..but have to left out the latest Ingram since over limit for my country and they would certainly tax me..Love the megahouse figure since the detail is insane
This one is ready to go to comic con. Time ran out so no funnels and more than likely no weapons unless i can get a beam saber done in the next few hours. I will be finishing this kit to completion once i get back, but for now the suit is done. Now i have to figure out how im going to pack it up for the ride.
well i didn’t place at the con but i did learn a lot about what the judges look for in a build. thnx for the compliment and i plan on getting better quality pic up once i finally finish the funnels and weapons lol.
That looks awesome! My Ingram 1 is still not done. Will do 2 and 3 after. They aren’t bad at all for 12 year old kits. I might hold off until I get an airbrush. Also want to build that Pit Road command car. You’ll like the new kit, really fun build. What hangar base is that?
The hangar is by bandai..just search ms hangar..my other ingram maybe I’ll weather it a bit..waiting my Ingram 2 with LED that being restock by Bandai..that kit actually being discontinued..once saw it at Hlj I just cant resist to immediately grab it..that pit road command car maybe I;ll grab it at hlj next black friday sale if they’re having just…[Read more]
The hip thrusters are still being painted as i write this. Im also working on the shield now and i have to decide on the weapon. im leaning towards the beam tomahawk based on this pose.
The first time when I saw the news about The PG is on Syd facebook page..immediately I go to my pc and put a preorder onto hlj.com..and YES syd I’ve not doubt about this PG plus this would be my first PG and I’m […]
Do you plan to make the psychoframe light up? I think this color combination will look really great!
i do plan to use white LED’s to illuminate the psychoframe panels. the white seems to make the green plastic look better than green LEDs that ive tried so far. ive done some experimenting and ive got some good plans for this build.
reminds me of the karaba colors that lupes did lol looks nice though
It will be a very original scheme. if it works out anything like your sazabi ver ka. it will be a very impresive model.
