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

Spoiler:

sames applies for the head also

[pumpkins]

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!

Spoiler for picture:

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.

[suiton629]

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

[Chiu_fan]

My latest procurement.

Found it deep in a bargain bin at my local shopping district.

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

How much do you pay for it?

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.

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.

[Chiu_fan]

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...

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

[Kuroi Hadou]

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