That’s awesome to see someone else’s same kit! I just finished building a freedom as well but never posted any pictures. Honestly I thought the age of the kit would be a problem, but I had a lot of fun with it and thought it was really well done for its age
The detail and paint you are putting into this zaku is awesome! I have on waiting to get built but I don’t think I will be able to get that look and detail like you have.
Honestly been busy lately and is first time in a while to sit down and build. But looking at the updates really inspired me, got further on my unicorn build and thinking about the paint scheme for my next unicorn kit!
Honestly I’m not sure yet lol I want to see what the destroy looks like so I can decide how to paint my second unicorn, since I have a second one. I’m think destroy mode though haha
Wow, I’m really impressed with that Titans paint job. The Titans scheme has always been one of my favorites from gundam, so keep up the awesome work! 😀
Working on the MG Unicorn, super excited for fully articulated fingers! This is my first unicorn build, trying to get a hang of it for my second unicorn build so I know how I should paint it

I’ve honestly had a little trouble liking the SD gundams, but the work you did in this one is awesome! I love how the colors aren’t just your basic banshee colors and they look deeper. The kit looks awesome mate!
Thanks a lot guys, I will be sure to keep all of this in mind while working on my unicorn. I will definitely be using the tips on the clear parts because I want to keep the transparency. And now the thing I was most confused about with decals is now cleared up haha
Hey guys,
I’m new to the site so not sure of the etiquette haha. But I’ve been building kits for a few months but have a few questions.
1) how can you tell the difference between water slides and dry transfer decals that are provided in kits?
2) how can you paint transparent parts on a kit such as the MG Unicorn?
3) finally, how can you flat…[Read more]
Water slides are always on a paper backing. Dry transfers are always on a clear piece of plastic.
If you want to paint clear parts, use a clear paint, or a metallic color that isn’t the color of an actual metal(i.e. gold, silver, steel).
I suggest you spray the parts separately if you’re unsure of it. or use a high gloss coat. Of course a high…[Read more]
Adding to what @slater4u said, for most painting I’d take apart a model then coat it in sections. This will also help exposed joints not get sealed by top coat.
Also, I wouldn’t recommend trying to top-coat clear pieces as they can fog up really easily.
