I completed my first Master Grade Gundam kit, the Freedom Gundam. I enjoyed building it. But, I’m not happy with the final model. It just doesn’t have enough detail. When I…
The age of a kit does make a difference. 10 years ago, that kit would have looked great compared to it’s HG version. I think there is a new version of it, though I wouldn’t quote me on that as I dislike anything SEED related, as they release WAY to many SEED kits.
A good example of the age of a kit effecting the overall detail, is to look at the…[Read more]
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 freedom is my all time fav MS. I do agree with you about the details are lacking. But when it came out it would have been great. I got a 1/60 NG ver, that has very similar level of detail. But in the size I prefer plus a bit of paint helps. But they do lack in comparison to the RG line. But I fined the best version of the Freedom is the metal…[Read more]
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.
Hey Joe! thanks for the comment! Get encouraged man! it’s really easy to add some personal touch to these models so it doesnt end up being a straight out of the box build. Just put some bronze and silver to pistons or the little parts that are visible when you bend the legs and arms! The rifles usually get some love too, i just color all the…[Read more]
Yea definitely gonna try it haha, thinking I might give it a shot on my unicorn MG I am currently building, because you are definitely right, you have to add some personal touch so that they are your kit!
After getting my lower wisdom teeth out this morning I had some free time to build the MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka. It’s a pretty fun build with plenty of parts in the torso similar to the regular Nu Ver.Ka. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more done tomorrow while I rest up.
Over my summer holiday so far I’ve finished the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka, MG Char’s Zaku II 2.0, and PG Unicorn + LED set.
Over all, I’d rate the PG Unicorn 11/10 and I’d build it…
Looks great! Thanks for posting a picture with the other scales of Unicorns. Currently still building mine, and I have to agree with you, it’s a really great and fun build. But the cleaning up and painting of all those parts…… Forgot how many pieces a PG has. I guess that’s what they call a selective memory. LOL
So these are the arms to a project I’m doing with an Amazing Exia kit. I’ve trimmed the shoulders, removed material around the elbow joint to allow it to bend more, and…
I’m building it at the moment and have the LED set, but can tell you that it is a great kit. The way it is put together, the amount of detail, the movement of the knee, the transformation, the weapons… In my opinion, everything is great, except the stickers…..
If you have the opportunity and like the design of the Unicorn, get it! You can…[Read more]
I don’t think I will get the LED’s if not before u put it together… I had to order off of Amazon to get the unicorn it’s self and it was way more expensive. . And the LED’s are like 150 off amazon.. hlj.com is backordered…idk what to do!!!
Like I said, it is not that hard to put them in afterwards. And the next batch of Unicorns is scheduled for March or early April. And I guess it will be the same the LED set. It is cheaper at HLJ, that’s for sure, but you also need to take shipping costs in consideration. Depending on which side of the world you live, this could also get…[Read more]
I’ve now finished the PG Unicorn and I’d say go for it. It has such amazing engineering that you’ll be constantly entertained while building it, even without the LEDs. The LEDs look nice once it’s done but if you don’t think you’ll use them much then don’t sink that much money into them.
So the first modification in this kit bash was trying to get the sinanju stein feet onto the delta plus legs. Since both have the female side of the connection, I needed to graft the post from the bottom of the sinanju leg into a poly cap of sorts to replace the actual poly cap from the leg of the delta.
I’ve built this kit and my recommendation is sharp cutters utilizing the two cut method. Also several new razor blades and steady hands. I just try to take off as little as possible with each pass of the razor. I used an x-acto blade with pretty good results.
On a side note don’t be to disappointed with the color of the GN cables, the promo art…[Read more]
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
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
