Built this guy a few weeks ago, finally had sometime to get started on it today. (Mainly because I’ve all but run out of paint for last pieces of my FA Unicorn)
Anyhow, this is a short and simple attempt at a battle worn ReZEL inspired by the Unicorn episode two. While in the ep, the leg is severed at the knee, I thought that would be too easy. So I decided to cut (err, melt) at the thickest part.
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.
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.
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.
So, technically I finished this guy back in July, but I don’t think I ever shared the pictures on OR…
Thoughts?
In retrospect there are a lot of issues I would’ve fixed then but opted not to since I just wanted to finish the kit. There are a few places where the paint is too thing and looks lighter against the white plastic. There are a couple other blemishes/scratches stashed about here and there. There are even a couple caused by either Micro Sol or Set (used for applying decals). Can you spot them all? It’s like a Where’s Waldo of failure.
Almost done…
…but I think I’m out of paint, just shy of finishing the fucking shield. Damn it!
So, finally got some paint and the time to work on my MG Banshee project…
Welcome to my rough, yet fairly thorough review of the differences between the new MG Unicorn OVA version and the previously released Ver Ka edition.
Design Changes
In from a design prospective there aren’t a whole lot of differences between the Ver Ka release and the new OVA. Surprisingly the OVA release comes with the exactly same runners as the Ver Ka. The new parts come on two small additional runners. Apparently it was cheaper for Bandai to keep the same molds and include the extra runners.
