Gundam Unicorn
 |
Finally Done with the Master Grade Gundam Unicorn ver Ka, I’m not sure if the Unicorn was in fact harder to build or was it just because I haven’t build a Gunpla for the longest time, that I felt that it took me longer than usual to build this particular gunpla. another unfortunate incident was that I accidentally broke off the V-fin and had to use super glue on it. consequently that would mean the V-fin will be stuck on open position. sorry no unicorn mode, just NT-D mode for this kit.  |
At first I was thinking about giving it a Titans colour scheme, however it seemed kind of silly since the titans wouldn’t have existed at UC0096. so I decided to keep the colour as it is, however I did paint it using Tamiya pearl white spray paint. a pity that it doesn’t show on photos. Anyway without any further ado, here are the images I took of the Destroy mode Gundam Unicorn
Right after painting, I went on and started to do the panel lines only to realize that the kit’s images on the box and the manual didn’t have any. so I decided to forgo the panel lines and spraypaint over the lines that I’ve already done. ^^;Â
Got the stand during my last visit to Akihabara, although it’s meant for Dolls, it seems to work on Gundams as well. ^^
the Gundam Unicorn indeed does look badas* cool, however I can imagine transforming it from unicorn to destroy mode can be a real pain. although thinking back, transforming the Zeta was actually the bigger pain. ^^;Â
My only complaint about this kit is that it’s too darn brittle! cost cutting with the plastic material? maybe. but then again it might have been because I’m a bit more heavy-handed while building kits.
and now on with the funnies…
^^ anyone care for a Gundam Unicorn Gashapon? ^^
not exactly funny, but I hope Singaporeans here would forgive me for planting the Unicorn right in the middle of Esplanade. couldn’t resist the urge to fill in the big gapping hole in the middle. ^^; wonder how big a fine one would get if someone actually parked a gundam there. ^^
