Cheers and have fun with painting.

have fun painting it^^ and dont worry, tamiya black never gave me any problems so far. i always got a nice and smooth surface without any bubbles on the pieces.

also, like i said before here is a photo of my unicorn with the gatlings and also my other unicorn MGs :P



buidling the knock-off gatling guns sucked... the pieces really didnt fit well at all, especially after paining them. but at least they look ok with some paint :T
its also a shame that i cant put on the shield on either arm with the guns slapped on because they go into the same connector as the shield. and i really like the unicorns shield... but oh well, i can always just swap them when i want to^^

looking pretty good. too bad Bandai will never release add-on stuff on the side, it would be nice if they do.

true, that would be pretty neat :T but you are right, i highly doubt that they will ever do that...

however they don't mind to release a slightly different version of the same one over and over again. lol
like Zeong, then Perfect Zeong, like Striker then Sky Grasper...... then Rouge.......

yeah thats true^^ bandai really does love to give us the same molds over and over again :P but i wont complain about that because that means we will probably get the unicorn banshee, too!^^

and about those extra weapons, they probably dont release them because they were packed with books and magazines. maybe they simply cant release them for legal reasons.
but i can live with that. i can live perfectly fine without most of the extra parts and if i really do want one of those its not like we cant order the magazine that it comes with. and if worst comes to worst a knock off with some paint will work as well :P not as good but at least they are cheap. i paid 15€ for the 2 pairs of gatlings for example, including shipping.

there are many parts that come with japanese hobby magazines or novels.
the GN sword IV for the HG OOQ came with hobby japan for example. i think they also had the parts to make the GM wagtail.
the gatling guns for the unicorn and the bazooka for the sinanju came with certain gundam unicorn novels.

i see. now when will i go NYC next time......

so i went and got the paint today, but now my new project is to clean up my room a bit before i could put more, so i guess the painting will have to postone at least another week....... anyway, i'm now about to say goodbye to all the boxes that i have been collecting.............. before i toss them out i'll take a picture of them. now simply stack them up one by one, just by looking at it, it feel like i went to a model kit store

the top part is the only important part of the box anyway :P on the sides you just have information like how you could pose it and stuff like that.
i do keep 3 boxes to store supplies though. 2 for extra parts and the manuals and one for my paints.

not bad at all, since you only collect it in less than a year, if you keep this up, you would have more than me in no time.
