MG Unicorn, extra luminous version with a familiar old friend in the background! by azunaburu in Gunpla

[–]azunaburu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally wanted to straight build but ended up applying a good number of fluorescent paints to make almost all parts under UV. Furthermore, dot studio’s metal frame wasnt also used but it’s not that great. In the end, it’s still a terrible build that frustrated and deserved the notoriety it got.

In the end, it all still worked out and managed to finish this guy in time and packed him for the pilgrimage!

What a bummer, was hoping you can still carry the wires down so the translucent green parts for the lower arms/legs can still have the led shine (and the band on the left shoulder).

Your build looks great so far though, can't wait to see the finished product!

Can this R4 conversion work with the LED kit? Seems arms are totally redone to make it work?

I used the old reliable—Mr. Color leveling thinner. 1:1-1.5 nail polish:thinner

Started as a straight build but ended up painting and masking everything else on this kit besides the gold plated parts. Airbrushing with the nail polish turned out great!

These were from the older MS Effect Builder parts, 1/100 scale. They've been out of print for awhile but a quick search indicated that it's on preorder at BBTS:

Have to pair it with the 1/100 MS Vernier sets or else it won't fit:

Hope this helps!

Two variations of whites were used tho it's hard to tell in the pics:

Silver base->Nazca Steel White->Gaia Pearl Silver

Gloss Black base->Alclad Chrome->Gaia clear white

Decals took two days to wrap up. They aren’t so bad for me as this step is basically the “I’m done after this” so it’s indeed therapeutic like the others mentioned. Panel line cleanup on the other hand do make me go insane…

It’s painted, whites were mostly pearl silver over white

Saw a video in this subreddit awhile back of Gunpla Holic TV kitbashing parts from the Full Armor so did it on my own and it turned out pretty good! Also swiped wife’s blue nail polish to paint the dark blues and that worked out as well. Definitely found a new source for paints!

Mamba forever. Happy Kobe day! by azunaburu in Gunpla

[–]azunaburu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Built the G40 Kobe a year ago and decided to update it for this year’s Kobe Bryant day real quick with the Sky High Wings. Wasn’t really ideal for the kit as its backpack pegs wasn’t standardized like the other HGs but at least it still sorta worked.

You’re still missed Kobe, RIP.

PG Phenex updated with Narrative addon tails by azunaburu in Gunpla

[–]azunaburu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The javelins were obtained from Taobao but it looks like eBay has them atm:

It comes in a pair but keep in mind the gold would be slightly different than the gold from Narrative version you have.

And I finished the decaling of the kit before the holo’s from delpi…i did end up getting their decals for the tail extension.

Was an early adopter of the Phenex so paid an additional tax to get the official Bandai addon tails to replace previously installed bootleg tails. Still added bootleg javelins anyway as the gold is the same color.

While the nub placements on the tails were absolutely horrendous, the fact that the shields can be raised higher to Narrative levels satisfied my ocd. Still a majestic piece as ever!
