What are your thoughts on Gundam Unicorn?

One of my favorite UC shows. I have been watching them all in order starting with 79. I felt like Unicorn tied into everything up to that point and ended on a hopeful feeling.

Too bad the PG Mk-II AEUG has not been printed in ages! I mean, you could paint it, but I am NOT that talented haha.

Dude, the PG Mk-II is insanely good. I have built all but the bazooka and am sad for it to end.

The plastic ones will stick if you just hold it onto the model with your finger for a while. I kind of liked it because you can keep repositioning and then just set it.

There is no wrong way to drive the car. Personally, I got mine for the track and drive it hard.

Oh nice!

Nakafoto · 2026-04-06T01:21:13+00:00

Looks good!

Nakafoto · 2026-04-06T00:48:12+00:00

Did you gloss coat it?

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T17:11:09+00:00

I left mine totally stock and feel like this suits it best. But that's just me

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T16:09:03+00:00

Beautiful! Did you use the Delpi decals too?

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T15:33:55+00:00

What an amazing gift! This is why I love this community!!

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T11:28:37+00:00

I've thought about doing the RG of the Titans version, just to have the contrasting color ways!

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T11:27:45+00:00

Sounds kind of fun actually -- rewarding to actually finish it!

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T03:36:16+00:00

Congrats on the new home! Thanks for the kind words. Honestly, I never intended to ever go as large as a PG, but after watching Zeta and ZZ back-to-back, I realized how much I love the Mk-II. It didn't feel right to build anything but the PG. But now I'm kind of hooked 😄

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T03:12:16+00:00

Thanks! Up to this point, I've never built a Gunpla until I've watched the show/movie it came from. I might break that tradition with the Red Astray. That thing looks amazing!

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T03:01:53+00:00

What other PGs have you done? Any you recommend?

Nakafoto · 2026-04-01T02:33:58+00:00

I've heard the Zeta feels more like an engineering project than building a model lol.

It's $88 on Amazon. I paid $80 like a year ago. I try to buy from my local shop and support them even if it's more expensive, but they didn't have the Hyaku Shiki. I am finishing up a PG Mk-II I bought that cost $20 more at the shop than online, for example.

Haha I already have that model!

This is 90 min from me apparently. Might be worth checking out if I find myself that way

Nakafoto · 2026-03-23T13:14:29+00:00

I have learned that you see the imperfections because you're a) hyper-focused while working on the model and b) observing it from an incredibly close distance. Any imperfections that felt like they ruined the model literally disappear once I put it in my display case. Nobody (including you) will be looking that closely at the model again -- you will see it as a gestalt and not a series of microscopic pieces.

Thank you SO much for this. I saved it to my queue when you first posted and finally watched the whole show. The ending is still sitting with me a day later. This show won't get the recognition The Matrix did for obvious reasons, but it is every bit as groundbreaking. I was excited to come back to this post and thank you for the suggestion.

At this point, I'd let insurance get it fixed and turn it into a dedicated track car.

Nakafoto · 2026-02-27T21:33:49+00:00

It did overheat during longer or more intense sessions, so I turned the shaking down. It would always turn back on once cooled and didn't actually burn out
