Unicorn Gundam Decals, Damn You Globaltoy

I ordered some grey Unicorn Gundam decals for use on my upcoming Banshee conversion. They've arrived, and I'm not happy. This is the image used by the eBay seller,

This is closer to the actual color,

Completely different colors, won't go with my color scheme at all. Fucking hell, they'd better refund my money.

I'm assuming this is just for the regular version. I figure the HD + Cage kit will be slightly different. via Ngee Khiong

Finished GN-X

After a decent delay my MG GN-X has been finished. (All images link to Flickr)

For whatever reason the paint I applied clips realllly easily. Had to do a lot of touch ups prior to my final top coat. The poses are sort of lack luster because I didn't want to risk causing more damage than there already is. Unfortunately the arm isn't strong enough to hold the huge gun on it's own.

MG GN-X Review

Click to Enlarge

It was a surprise to all when Bandai announced that the second kit to get Master Grade treatment from Gundam 00 would be the GN-X. It's not exactly one of the fan favorites, I really hated it since day one. However I decided to order one of these new kits and hope for the best. When the order shipped I was indifferent. When I started construction I was filled with annoyance. Now that she's finished, I'm filled with a sort of odd, warm, fuzzy feeling.

GN-X: Under Construction

While I await a shipment of decals to finish my MG Nu I started on a little packaged I received yesterday, the MG GN-X! If it wasn't for work (which I shouldn't blame too much, with out it I wouldn't have this kit) I could have had a full fledged review up before Dalong. Oh well! Anyhow, check out these quick shots...
