MOther of God.

I'm gonna follow this guy's work. The finished product will be so LEGENDARY.

Would be nice if you could link this guy in the thread :)

Those custom colours looks great! I've actually started making that model myself (from memory) but I prefer blue to red, haha.

Now that's a custom build I'm looking forward to being finished. That's going to be one sick custom Gundam Unicorn :D

I'd love to start such a project myself, but time and money are a restraint.

Also, it would be nice if you could add the source links to all your posts from now on much like I'm doing. As it helps us out finding other cool things :)

[Razorwing]

^I already responded to Rad's comment with the link :)

It's growing on me. Still like it better than the AGE-1 Normal.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^That one's pretty cool.

And I know, but I meant that you should post the link of the source to any picture you post.

[Razorwing]

yeah... not gonna do that. lol. If I did that there won't be any new substance for me to post on here! lol. WIP's like the Glowing Psycho-frame Unicorn, yeah I'll post that.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^That's an awesome Gunpla build!

And why not give the source? I do this to everything I post. Besides, it's helping the person who made the original thread/website as well as it'll add views to their stuff. You'd also help us out as we'd find more good stuff to post it here.

The reason you gave is somewhat odd to me. Imagine if everyone on Neowin did that, not giving sources to articles because they don't want others to find things to post. It kinda ruins the fun for everyone. Like the source to the Gundam Unicorn, it had LOADS more images than the 1 image you posted :p

Not wanting to come off as an ass here, but you do get my point I bet.

[Razorwing]

Like that? lol.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Yeah, thanks for that. The gallery has more cool Gundam Gunpla photos and other Gundam stuff. And not to forget about the photos taken of all the Star Wars lego, haha.

That Wing Gundam looks pretty cool. Also, that previous Gunpla you posted, I said it was a Custom Gunpla which was stupid, lol. It's the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam Assault Shroud. Man that Gundam looks awesome.

Sweet, post WIP pics!

This was the initial start last week but I got the chest finished in the end. Might do some more work on it and post updated photos today. :)

[Argi]

This might be a dumb question but if I wanted to do cooler custom stuff like this (I assume it's mostly the paint job), what stuff do you need? Is it normal MG models, spray painted and what not? Can you buy the paint off Amazon? How do you go about doing that while you assemble them? It'd be a really intricate process.

[Razorwing]

It's Custom too. See those little metal bolts on the chest. YUP. Custom.

I want a Unicorn now.

It's mostly the paint, with a flat coat. You can probably try to find paints at your local hobby shop? What I know is that you plan out which trees you want them coloured. Say for an example. If I wanted a Black Unicorn, I'll look at which parts on the runner. Runners are usually the same colour for Armor (i.e For the Unicorn it's White).Then spray those. If you don't get what I"m trying to say here's a site that will help you out a bit. Just scroll down to the bottom part. http://www.dannychoo...g+Tutorial.html

You also see there are metal rings on the side of the armor, I have no clue how they did that. They must've drilled a hole or something.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

@Razorwing: Yeah, but I thought it was a complete non-existing Gundam that he made. That's why I called it a non-custom Gunpla :p The added details are pretty neat though. And I love the way they did the cockpits in Gundam SEED.

It don't think they drilled holes into the plastic parts. As you can see in this photo of a non-edited version, there are pre-made indents in the armor:

So I think they just glued rings into these indents.

Wouldn't it be awesome to also have a Gunpla like this?

They call it a Degirama (no idea what that means) and it's from the GAT-X102 Duel Gundam Assault Shroud. It's one of the promo images as seen in the source: MG GAT-X102 Duel Gundam ????????

I hate the fact that I always see little imperfections in panel linings, lol. That's why I probably wont ever do it on any of mine any time soon. Though when you look at them from a normal distance, you'd probably not see the imperfections.

That Unicorn Gundam looks pretty epic! Though I still think that the one with the red psycho frame looks way better :p

[Razorwing]

Yeah there are indents, however if you look closely, the metal rings are hollow :p.

The degiarama looks like a Diarama ? lol.

I'm planning to get the Unicorn in a few days. Really need a MG build. I'll probably get the Red Psychoframe one. Well I dunno. Been also wanting the Qan[T] too. So I dunno .. Suggestions?

Daily Gunpla

^really custom.

Kit bash customized build with HGUC Nu Gundam, HG Exia, HG GM III, HG Freedom & HGUC Banshee*

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^That's an awesome custom build! Also, the rings could still be glued in regardless of being hollow or not :p It probably is a diagram but the box said Degirama when there where proper English words used as well, so I wasn't sure.

Also, episode 26 of Gundam AGE is out :)

[Razorwing]

I saw it. Just speechless. Good episode. Can't wait for next week.

[Razorwing]

So any ideas on my next MG? Unicorn or 00 Qan[T]?

http://gundamguy.blogspot.ca/2012/04/hg-1144-gundam-age-1-normal-titus.html

[Jamushroom Veteran]

The QAN[T] is pretty awesome, I've got it myself. So it's hard to make that decision, haha.

And never expected what happened in the previous episode of Gundam AGE. This series really is way better than I expected it to be. Just goes to show, again, that you can't judge the book on it's cover (Y)

[Razorwing]

I think I'm gonna go with the Unicorn. Well the story is good, but I still dislike the designs.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I dislike the designs as well though the Gundam are growing on me.

Also, that custom job on Unicorn Gundam looks really, really great. The gold and white complement each other really good. I'd love to have that version, haha. One could make it by buying Unicorn Gundam and Unicorn Gundam 02 "Banshee". When I have enough money to get 2 and I'm actually crazy enough to spend the money on 2 then I'd make that version as well, lol. The black from Unicorn Gundam 02 "Banshee" with the red from Unicorn Gundam should fit nicely with each other as well.
