MG Unicorn WIP 3

Here it is another installment of WIP time. Nothing like a Typhoon to give you time to go insane with Pla-plate! I know I said I wasnt going to do much with it, but in the end I just could not resist. Plus I wanted to see how well the new cement I got from Gundam Guy worked (it worked nicely by the way) Needless to say, I am in agreement with those that thought the back center section was too short, it just did not match, and I was feeling brave so I did my very first cut and paste. it looks rough still, but is completely smooth to the touch.

Here is the final snap fit check prior to break down, for sanding and paint. All in all I am pleased with the Ver Tem look.

Unicorn WIP 2

All right this is a small one. All the scribe work is done. I tried to stay with the style of the Unicorn and do a lot of angles. I went with the suggestion of trying to show more of the destroy mode (pink for right now) I have one leg done. It takes a lot of shifting between modes to see what will look right or even be seen at all. The angles closed aren't perfect, but open I think they look good. The arms and chest are next, but there is as I stated before, a lot of looking 3 and 4 times before I cut. Just thought it was time for a tease. Color scheme suggestion are still open, I have an idea, but will take what people have to see what can be done.

Hope you enjoyed.

My Little Gundamer

Well, while the intention was to have my daughter pick out the colors for her Gundam (she doesn't know I am customizing the Infinite Justice for her) some how I got talked into a girl gundam. Some SD Gundam she found in the Yamada. So I cut all the pieces and she snapped them together, it was a good team effort. Granted my wife just laughed at me saying I was a sucker.

There it is, the Girl Gundam. Barbie lookout there's a new boss in town.

X-1 Crossbone Gundam DONE!!!

After much work and attention to detail as I invented the decal layout for this guy. Didn't like what I was given so I went another route. -_- All in all this kit was a lot of fun. My first time cutting any parts of the panels, and at least in my humble opinion the scribe work is much improved from my last kit to this one! :l I did a little crossing of the colors to give it some added flavor, I will say doing a half and half scheme adds a ton of possible mistakes. I truly had to keep EVERY thing for one color separate at all times! The fact that there were no poly caps is nice also everything sit tightly and movement is smooth. Even though the red decals didn't show on the red all that well, I did put everyone down where it went. It felt futile at times, but I think they show in the photos well. All in all, I am pleased with the kit; there was a lot of potential to customize and add pla-plate. I kept it simple with the plating focusing on the scribing, knowing I was going to do the panel lines in red to bring them out; I really wanted to get a lot of that effect. Well for those of you who haven't just moved on to the pictures. Enjoy X-1 Crossbone Ver. Tem
Just kidding, that is just the awesome custom base! I thought it was worth a picture also.

Hope you enjoyed. Please post comments on what you think. Until next time. Gunpla on!
