Gonna try to finish HG Aegis tonight so I can top coat tomorrow. Then will piece together the Blitz now that it’s finally dried. Hopefully tomorrow is nice and dry and I can consider testing some paint for one of my other kits. View
absolutely loved this episode. Nils is back, we get to see one of the top teams in the nation….then Saga Adou and his whatever the heck that gundam is. Pretty sweet if you ask me, then there’s the Perfect Gundam III: Red Warrior. I hated the fact the episode ended so soon ><.
I know you’re joking BUUUUUT:
The Perfect Gundam (which Takeshi Iori piloted briefly in episode 25 of the first season) is from Plamo-Kyoshiro, a 1983 manga about being able to pilot gunpla (sound familiar?)
The Perfect Gundam III is the lead character’s third suit/model.
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
I recently bought a Gundam LED kit and a couple of MG Kits (Strike Rouge and an older version of the Freedom). These are my first MG kits. I thought they would have a space for the LEDS, but they don’t appear to. Does anyone know what MG kits can take the LEDs?
The MG Nu Ver.Ka., the MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka., the R/E100 Nightingale, the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka., the MG Gundam RX 78-2 ver. 3.0, the MG Geara Doga, the MG Jesta, the MG 00 Raiser, the MG 00 Seven Sword, the MG 00 Qan(T), the MG Gundam Exia Ignition Mode, the MG Gundam Exia (and the Trans Am Mode), the MG GN-X, the MG RX 75 Guntank. and the MG RMS-108…[Read more]
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…
I love this exia 🙂 Took the legs from MG Qan[t] so it’s kind of like a custom, maybe hehe..weapons are painted with gun metal and that’s about it. Put some sticker and did…
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 😛
Heya guys , I just got an airbrush ,painted parts of my kit in flat black ,but it gets damaged too easy, how can I protect the coat ? Will letting the paint dry for 2-3 weeks help in that ? Tnx for the help
If you want to have the color stay matte/flat, you definitely shouldn’t use “Future Pledge” as this gives the paint a gloss coat. In other words, the flat black paint will turn into a gloss black.
If you used a enamel paint, let it cure for 3 to 4 days. Enamels take long to cure, but are very scratch resistant.
Lacquer paints are tough too and…[Read more]
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 😀
