My first MG. I have had it for a while but I just now decided to finish it up. Home for 3 days and sick. Assembly is complete. Going to eventually go back and paint and apply…
Thanks a lot. Will do. I think I am going to build a few more before i get into pain. Maybe get something a little easier to experiment on like an Rx-178 or a Zaku. I really want the Aile Strike and Strike Rouge as well too.
So I got a bunch of plastic for the holiday and i got a few (less than half) of the weapons on the clear unicorn. I think its time to start on the pink and green nu with some…
The FA Unicorn is looking great, have you thought about getting the PG Unicorn? Also, that’s a really cool colour scheme for a Nu, it’ll look really nice with your Sazabi.
Well @teetee580 I thought customs would hit me for holding it but it turns out that they were just holding onto it for some reason, no tax whatsoever.
I love that along with…
Though if I did have to pay a customs fee it would have been a good $100-150 NZD. I do recommend shipping LEDs separate from the Unicorn itself to save money.
That’s great to hear!!! This is my first Unicorn, so seeing the box compared to the MG and HG ones makes me realize how big of a kit it is.
I know how you feel, hope the LED’s come in really quick. I have to wait to get the paint in, gonna paint all the parts individually except the psycho frame of course, so it will take some time before it is…[Read more]
Unfortunately I’m no good at painting so this’ll just be a straight build but I’ll be sure to take a picture of all the unicorns together.
The Unicorn is probably my favorite design in Gundam along with the Turn X and Z’Gok so I’ve picked up every retail release of the Unicorn/Banshee except for the MG Phenex. A little excessive I know :P.
acutually i was thinking about that psyho frame would it be possible to paint up the pink with a clear red to make the clear peices darker i mean wouldnt it have a nicer effect instead of that pink i always see
Thanks! I’ll do that. Will take some time though, as I have to finish the MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka first. Only the fin funnels have to get a spray of faded purple….
Hope your one gets quickly to you. Hope you’ll enjoy it as well
Thanks man. Yeah I’m working on the HGUC Full armor Unicorn at the moment to set things off. This is going to be my first PG how about yourself? I was going to pick up the MK2 for an Xmas gift for myself then they announced this and I was like yeah MK2 can wait another year.
Looking good, it’s looking like I’ll be waiting a little longer on mine as customs may be trying to charge me for the Unicorn. Fortunately not the LEDs as well.
This will be my 2nd PG. The first was the Astray Red Frame. And at the same time, it was my 1st Gunpla. I was also thinking of picking up an other PG, but couldn’t decide LOL. There are too many awesome PG’s….
Damn, that’s a shame. Hoped you could skip taxes all together by shipping them separately.
Dutch customs did a good number on me as well. About $100 US. Had to pay taxes over the kit, as well as over the shipping costs… And they billed me for “calculating” that amount. And then there is the postal office. They want money too for picking it up at…[Read more]
nice load im gunna wait for until next month or february to get it ive still got my own hi nu gundam i gotta do and my sazabi i gotta paint up might i ask u @teetee580 how r u planing on doing the faded purple i was thinking maybe do a section for the funnels line them all up and then use the airbrush to spray up the purple so it looks even and…[Read more]
Thanks @thebanshee13! Hahaha, I know I’ll have fun with that beast LOL.
I was thinking doing it the same way, but only starting with the white first. Being that the purple is a stronger color than the white, it’ll take more coats of white to cover the purple.
I hope the Unicorn will be in stock when you plan to order it, gonna order the LED’s…[Read more]
Tried to finish this on a 3 day schedule ….but still a head to build and dio and paint are needed (no success there 😛 ). what it is :keyboards from 1 old mechanical…
Gonna paint the grey part beneath the white one with gun metal. Also took 00 qan[t] legs and swapped with exia’s. I think it looks awesome + better articulation. No ankle problems 🙂 Other than that the exia is almost done 🙂
Doooo eeet! 🙂 i think it would look awesome 🙂 you should tighten the joint between the waist and the torso since having the raiser on it’s back is going to make him lean backwards 😛 and also i think i fell in love with exia and qan[t] legs..can’t stop looking at it 😛
First assembly 😀 Don’t mind the stickers. It’s just for reference for when I dismantle and paint/detail ^^ Total time taken so far 9 hours odd. I can taste the sand and plastic on my tongue.
Ayeeeee that they are just just a head taller than the Build Burning right next to it at the moment. The wings though on the 0custom is totally worth it 😀
If you press down on the marker on the panel line and hold it down, the ink should come flowing out and into the panel lines. This way you don’t have to clean up so much excess ink and get the ink in the panel lines instead only on the sides. I also found in the past that the tips of the “fine” Gundam markers are too thick.
And lucky you, building…[Read more]
I use the same method as @teetee580 mentioned. It works quite well but if you press too hard then you can end up fraying the tip of the marker significantly. Nothing that a few chops of an exactoknife would fix, though.
probably because your tip is no longer fine. you’ve either pressed down on it too hard or introduced it to lots of cleaning agent. It’s now a brush and works well as a brush for wider areas. You can use your blade to shave the tip off and just use the ball if you want.
