MG Unicorn Gundam – Marida Cruz Custom

Here’s a clever and dynamic opening paragraph that gets you interested in reading what I have to say about this build instead of skipping to the photos.

Despite building so many Unicorn Gundam kits over the last 8 years there’s always been a few ideas I’ve had floating around but never got to. While a Marida Cruz custom Unicorn was the runner up in my recent poll of ‘what project should I tackle next,’ it just happened to coincide with r/Gundam slash r/Gunpla’s UC 0096 group build on discord. Figured now would be a good time to try out a few of those ideas and see how they play out. read more

Thus a project conceived back in March has finally come to a close.

As this was the third MG Unicorn built, the process was the smoothest and the end result better than the previous two. Painting the psycho frame and exterior pieces when without a hitch. Aside from the green, and the v-fin, the main suit itself is done in four different tones. White, light gray, medium gray, and dark gray. read more

Full Armor Unicorn Prototype Ver. WIP Update 03

It’s been a while since I posted any updated shots.

This is how the kit looks prior to transformation. Missing a few parts here and there. It will probably never be in this configuration again.

Might as well go all in and dazzle you with the fully exposed psycho frame…

The weapons are still in various stages of completion. Not sure when I’ll get around to those though. Hopefully I’ll find some free time this week to get some more work in. read more

How about an update? Plus another shot of the metallic green!

The legs are finished. A few pieces are over drying still. It’s almost ready for a top coat but I’m still debating whether or not to do some decals.

But first I need to finish the leg launchers.

I’m modifying the launchers from an old Zaku kit. For the leg connections I drilled some holes and luckily for me, a toothpick was just the right size. I’ll paint and finish the launcher before I cut the pole down to size and glue it in. read more

Full Armor Unicorn Prototype Ver. Introduction


Click to Enlarge | On Flickr

A while back I set into motion a rather ambitious project. A third MG Unicorn themed off of the Full Armor version.

It’s not going to have all of the bells and whistles though. It’ll be toned down a little bit, but should be impressive none the less. It’ll also feature a four toned paint job (white, light gray, gray, dark gray) and a brilliant metalic green for the psycho frame.

Here are some early shots. Depending on my workload this week I’d like to get the legs done and start prepping the backpack. I’ve already figured how I’m going to mount the cannons and I can’t wait to see if it actually works. read more
