That is stunning box-art. :eek:

its pretty much the same as the original unicorn ver.ka. but the weapons are adding a LOT of awesomeness to that boxart!^^

right now im done with building most of the weapons and those weapons that i wanted to paint are painted. now i decanted some tamiya flat clear out of a can which i will use as a base for my glow in the dark pigments. im just letting the solvent bubble out now, that stuff is COLD! XD

Question for anyone who's built the MG 00 Gundam Seven Sword G; Will using the green foil stickers inside the buster sword hamper the light piping effect from the LED?

I haven't built the kit yet even though I've had it for a while.

I assume they provided stickers for those without LED units and clear decals for those with the LED units so that it shines through a little.

If they did that, they I suggest you just not use the stickers so that it'll look really nice when lit up. =)

I plan to do that with my

MG Exia (turning this one into Repair 1 and using the red LEDs)
MG Exia Ignition Mode (making this as regular Exia with chrome blades & green LEDs)
MG 00 Raiser
MG 00 Qan[T]
MG 00 7 Sword/G
.
.
I also have 1/100 Astraea and 1/100 Astraea Type F. All I need is the 1/100 Avalanche Exia. But those 3 No Grade kits...I won't be using LEDs.

if you want the light effect, dun paste the foil sticker.....foil sticker is opague, not clear

see the manual carefully , it gives you 2 options


sames applies for the head also

does anyone here have an unbuilt HG gundam 00 or its variants which comes with the updated foil stickers? ~ especially those stickers for the gn condensers with the light ring on it, picture from dalong below!



if it's possible can i have a scan of the sticker? i'm hoping to use this design for my gundam 00 kit. (it came with the old style stickers :() :)

The stickers go on the opposite side of the light piping so it doesn't matter whether you have them or not.

Just don't use any stickers/decals on the areas that you want to have light piping showing through.

My latest procurement.:D
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...s/DSC02210.jpg
Found it deep in a bargain bin at my local shopping district.:heh:

Well, there are clear stickers that can make the effect better.

How much do you pay for it?

Roughly around US$32.00.

Hmm... I just remembered that if we just want the Unicorn or Sinanju head display-stand, we can get it for roughly $18 at some store that I know. Still, it's pretty good deal you got there. It also save the shipping cost, right?

After doing the math; yeah, I got it at a great deal. If going by buying it separately, I would have spent $36 instead of $32. I wouldn't worry about the shipping cost because it is from a local shop.:heh:

They were also selling an HGUC Hazel, forgot which type, but is it any good?

There are 3 types of HGUC Hazel: Hazel TR-1, Hazel Custom and Advanced Hazel. I have the Advanced Hazel and I can tell you that it's a really good kit. The articulation is good. The joint for the crotch can be a little loose if you often play with them, aside from that, all joints are fine. My favorite feature of Adv-Hazel would be the skirt arms (much like The-O) and the mask. For me, that mask is really cool and makes it distinguishable from any other gundams out there.

Hazel Custom is good too if you prefer simpler design and its white color is really nice.

Hazel TR-1 is the Ugliest of them all. The design is nothing special and it got this ridiculously huge white tail-fin that crash with the overall dark-blue color of the suit.

Thanks for your insight. I might get it after finishing the Unicorn.

Went to look at it on HLJ. The dark blue one with the huge white tail unit is actually a prototype version. the normal TR-1 is white, without the tail...

edit: the box actually said hazel custom, so you were right... Sorry!

Also, the MG Hi-Nu is atm both in stock and on sale. Just saying...

and here we are:

http://www.abload.de/img/img0952gkxs3.jpg

its enourmous. thats pretty much the only thing this thing has going for it XD

Well I'd also add the fact it is rather ridiculous yet oddly awesome.

Still think I prefer a IWSP compared to what you get with the FA tho.
The 2 hyper bazookas don't look cool enough imo.

Altho the beam halberd-esque thingys are wicked cool. Always been a fan of the Halberd for some odd reason:p

*head tilt* They had an extra beam magnum lying around and no-one told me? :frustrated: :heh:

Lol...it's just over the top. But I like it!

That action base a special edition? I am planning to get the FA Unicorn as well, but I can't find any info on that base...:confused:

Those are the most overkill weapons a gundam can carry with its arms. Still, it looks badass in a weird way. Just imagined if Unicorn use all those weapons at the same time in battle, the opponents would become cosmic dust :heh:.

Now you can spam weapons almost half as much as the Strike Freedom. :heh:

the base is a standard white action base. i made the decals myself.

I wish they'd have made some sort of locking mechanism to have it hold the weapons horizontally, instead of aiming at the ground. Still looks awesome though.

When are you going to add the glow in the dark effect?

I already did :B id love to show it off but taking a photo of that with my phone is impossible. the photo is just black.

dalong has the HG banshee destroy mode...

i love it.. hope in a MG version.. ^^

im not surprised. dalong owns every gunpla kit in existence :P well, almost all of them, i think he is missing most of the SD stuff.
but im sure we will see a MG banshee. im pretty certain we will get it after the next episode of unicorn, just like they did it with the delta plus: first it briefly appeared in the OVA, after that we got a HG and after the episode in which it was actually in combat they released the MG.

Get a better phone :P I MUST see how it's turned out, sounds epic...

the effect is actually rather faint and not easy to make out. i blame the terrible lighting in my apartment XD i think the pigments dont get enough light to charge up properly.
however, because the pigments have a very bright yellow-green color they make the psycho frame pieces look a lot more vivid in the daylight! it still looks like the original color, its just a little more intense^^ that alone made it worth it!
the shields glow a lot though because the psycho frame pieces in them are very big.

So how come we haven't had any of the usual crew posting this crap?!:p

HG 1/144 G-Bouncer

HG 1/144 Gundam AGE-2 - Double Bullet

HG 1/144 Zeidora

And a little something for Nike, Exia Rasier!;)

^ Great finds, the Zeidora is looking particularly awesome. :bow:

:uhoh: That Zeidora looks like a brother/sister of EVA 02.

Wow, I didn't notice that. :twitch:

I admit the first thing I thought of when I saw it was Bionicle. :heh:

The twin drives looks better on Exia.

How about you placed the FA Unicorn aganist the EX-S side by side to compare the size and bulk ?

And for those interested, the FA Unicorn is now in major retail stores (i.e. Toy R Us) from where I am selling at US$130. It sure weighs a ton.

i dont think so. the exia wasnt designed for that bulky backpack, its way too skinny for that in my opinion!
the custom sword looks good though.

It looks as if they're supposed to be there, yeah. Then again, 00 with a drive-cone on it's back would look 'tarded.

Zeidora reminds me a bit of the reborns gundam, mostly the chest

here we go:
http://www.abload.de/img/img1091fa49.jpg

the unicorn is taller with all the stuff added to it but the Ex-S is a lot wider all by itself. the unicorn still looks a little skinny :P but all the stuff added to the arms helps a lot!

$130 is a good price though in my opinion. including shipping and customs fees i paid 130€ for it which is about $170.

Overall, for 8000 yen, the Ex-S still held it's own aesthetic value. The FA unicorn just looks messy compared to the Ex-S. But the armaments of the FA Unicorn has their worth when it comes down to kitbashing.
