Started this project last month haven’t have time to finish due to no cash and busy schedule I do plan on finishing it up and painting all the detail before I start school next year. View
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!
Interesting idea. This Delta could turn out great (or not). The big question about it. Will it transform?
PS. I cannot wait to see the legs assembled – cause right unless you heavy modify the steins trusters they will look awkward (im not sure if they will hide the orginal Delta leg thrusters ).
All in all good luck with the build. And if its…[Read more]
Well I can tell you that it will not transform. The legs are the only parts of the delta that I’m using. I didn’t mod the steins thrusters yet but when I test fit the part of the thruster that connects to the arm it looked good and didn’t completly hide the delta thruster
I’m confident that it will look good when I’m finished
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.
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
chip the decals alittle to make it look like theyre wearing off or fading off i dont think its waterslides so i dont no how to explain how to do that but looking nice so far
it looks like stickers. My best guess would be gently using the back of exacto knife to try scrape it a bit but im not sure – i never use bandai stickers cause they just look bad. @hellgatex
On the topic of battle damage (at least for those kind of scratches you did) I think the better result would be to do them first and then dirty the kit. Most…[Read more]
In the pics it’s ok.. but up close around the edges of each piece it looks terrible lol. I need to learn to paint better as well as prob just get an air brush… but thanks for the compliment!
That is a very nice build. im a fan of massive weapon payloads and this thing is great, i am truly in awe of this beast. I might recommend an orange and grey color scheme for this. Cant wait to see how it looks with some color
Orange and grey… so something close to the Thunderbolt Zaku I color scheme? In theory it doesn’t sound like a bad combo, but unfortunately I don’ t have any orange paint on me right now. I was thinking of giving it the color scheme similar to the Kerberos Squad from Jin-Roh but I might just toss that idea to the side.
Try a light ghost grey, and white color scheme. adding colors like black here in and there for contrast. The missiles would look nice with red nose cones, and obviously that Zeon emblem should be in gold(or yellow). The grey and white will make things that have colors like the missiles, emblems, etc really stand out. Plus you can use a cool name…[Read more]
