As today is elearning day, i found some time after doing my online assignment^^
Since i have not gotten my tamiya masking tape yet, i decided to shove my XN raiser to one side for the time being…
But i wanted something quick and easy, so i decided to start on my Unicorn head.
It was quite fast, took me about 50 Minutes? Because i already panel lined the parts before this ^^
What did i mean by panel lining before this? I meant it like this.
My brother came up with the very good idea of panel lining the parts before cutting them, so that when assembled, it would take lesser time…
Painted the eyes
The interior of the Vfin was not painted in yellow, so i decided to spray paint it. There’s no masking involved, so it is safe to use the normal masking tape to hold it^^
The parts taped on, ready to be sprayed
Panel lined awaiting cleanup.
After cleanup, done the same to the other fin
The completed stand! Mine has a problem though, the bloody horn doesn’t close in very well… You can see for yourself in the pic above ==
Since my destroy mode is not built yet, i borrowed my bro’s unicorn mode for posing!
And to end off… I read in hobby search that there is another set of clear parts MG campaign… RX-78-2 OYW is included in the list… And i have just bought mine…==
Luckily the clear parts aren’t much of a big deal xD
So, what shall i build next? Maybe my kampfer, first time building a zeon MS!
Til next post!
Hmm now that I finally saw somebody fixed this display stand, I think it looks rather odd… =/ Lucky I didnt get mine xD
Looks odd? What do you mean?
I meant a smaller unicorn on top of a bigger unicorns head. I dunno, but it looks wierd… maybe it’s just me lah >.<
Nice stand, too bad I don’t have the HGUC Unicorn to go along with it.
@ astrayp03(zhe): lol, i think it looks ok.
@ evolution: You have the stand too?
the horn doesn’t close properly?
go back to the store and ask for another XD
Maybe i should huh? And get to have another free unicorn head! xD
yes, you should do that! And then you go back home, ruin the new horn, and go back to get the third one!
so that’s a stand?
Looks somewhat… weird? A head that you stomp all the time? 🙂
that’s an exclusive stand that included with dengeki hobby normal stand will be like this

or this for 1/144 scale

yeah, I have normal stand for 1/100 and 1/144 (included in SEED kits), but I’ve never seen this stand.
I don’t think the horn can close tightly enough though. Anyways, you should try to install LEDs on it. Its huge enough to be easily done (of course if you can’t get any LED stuff…). Otherwise, it looks nice as it is. ^^
And, ROFL for smaller Unicorn on top of larger Unicorn.
Maybe next time, i am still inexperienced
no planning get the decal in degeki hobby the newest version ??
*EDITION
What decal?
nice you finished yours 😀 your not going to paint the neck area grey?
im not using mine as a stand yet, just keeping it as a bust, looks very cool ^^
Now that you mention it… I forgot about the neck area! Maybe i will touch up on it in some other time…
Sweet you finished yours! But whaaa…that fin cannot be close properly is a let down though.
@ Rockleelotus hmm I thought your stand was used as a head for someone already lol..
during down times its back to display mode 😛 Konata lost her cosplay until i can finish the Drossel intro story lol
Yea, the upper part cannot close properly………
@heathorn: then i would have unlimited supply of unicorn heads, eh? lol
@Divinelight: as moemoekyun as stated, yes, this is a magazine exclusive item^^
