RX-0

This is my Unicorn. There are many like it but this one is mine. I finished my OVA RX-0 Unicorn Gundam finally. Took a long break for NaNoWriMo. Ended up writing over 30,000 words, but that's a topic for another post.

There aren't many kits that I've built that I've said, "I can't wait to build that again". Unicorn was one of those kits. And for building again, there's lots of variety. There's the ver Ka, Full Armor, Banshee, Phenex, and probably a Banshee Norn before too much longer.

The only real annoying part during the build was the shoulders. The transformation is interesting and relatively well done (save the knees). The head transforms with very little part swapping, more remove, rotate and reapply. I use the swappable v-fins and not the openable one. I think it looks better. Its actually painted in Vallejo Gold because paint > stickers. I don't think I'll end up painting the Unicorn, probably just top coat and call it a day. I hate painting white.

WIP 2: MG RX-78 3.0

Work continued the next night on the arms. Specifically the shoulder joints which were built in pairs. With the tiny white pieces and their microscopic dots, I'm glad I lined on the runner. It looks good.

WIP MG RX-78 3.0

For my next project I picked this up from Crunchyroll. They had it on daily deal and I couldn't exactly pass up the chance to have the RG RX-78-2 in 1/100. Plus, everyone should have the Gundam in a 1/100 MG form. I decided to experiment with panel lining on the runner with this kit because why not. Once the panel lining was complete, the build started like any other...

WIP: RG GP01fb

You may remember before the Nu Ver. Ka. was show that I had picked up both of these kits. I finished the GP01 Zephranthes snap fit the other day and almost immediately began work on the Full Burnen. There were a few parts of the Zephranthes build I missed capturing on film digital. I really need to get a tripod for my camera. Or at least a monopod.

GAT-X105 Strike

Finally finished my GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. Took the time to panel line and decal it properly. Once the weather stops being so ridiculously humid, I'll top coat. I don't particularly like the look of the Aile pack, so I'll probably display it without most of the time. But I'll keep the beam rifel and shield equipped, even though that's non-canon.

As hinted at before the Nu ver. Ka., these two were going to be my next project. After unpacking the first one, I decided my workspace wasn't quite large enough to tackle both of them at the same time. I decided to start with the normal model then tackle the Full Burnen after. Read on for the full build log.

WIP: RX-93

When we last left off, I'd finished the torso of the Nu Gundam's inner frame and had already started to mention how much I hated the foil stickers. Next up was the head. Its the second MG I've built with a full inner frame. The first being the Sinanju. With the head completed I moved onto the arms.

The glorious Nu hands.

Completed arms, minus hands

Completed upper torso

With the not too complex, but more PITA foil sticker filled, arms completed, I called it a night. The next day I tackled the legs...
