Not pictured, I have 4or 5 1/144 peeps too. I think every RG kit I built came with one seated pilot and one standing person. Every MG I’ve built has come with those 2 at a minimum and sometimes extra standing figures.
There’s not much to paint on the Unicorn, so I’m painting the MS Cage and decided to finally paint the people I’ve been collecting.
I’ve got something in the works on that front
The MG Unicorn is dry fit. Now for paint and decals.
The new PGU Nu Gundam can be pre-ordered for $650. I think it’s supposed to release in January ‘26 at an msrp of ¥66,000 ($455)
It’s floating around $250-300 USD. It’s hard to justify dropping that much on a hobby in one hit.
I really want an MGEX unicorn, but the wife says “that’s too much money for a plastic robot”
Biggest MG box I’ve seen
The paint in question was Createx 5131 Transparent White. The top coat was Mr Super Clear Matte. There was 23ish hours between the last coat of color and the application of topcoat.
Edit: So I looked up the data sheet for the paint in question, and based on temp and humidity I should have waited at least 48 hours before topcoat. I will sand everything down, repaint and try to topcoat again after waiting 2 days.
I thought “I don’t need to spray a spoon to test the color. I’ll just spray white until I cant see color change.” I thought wrong
PSA: Don’t be like me. If you’re using a new product for the first time, spray a test panel. Unless you want to watch your paint wrinkle 10 minutes after spraying top coat.
“Build Gunpla” they said “It’s all Unicorns and Iron Flowers” they said They were WRONG
0.5/10 Do Not Recommend
If nobody gets it by the end of the day, I’ll post the answer
Here’s some white parts. Who knows what kit they’re part of?
It’s an MG Jegan that is in the middle of a color change
That cool. The body is reminiscent of Bioshock, but the head… it makes me think of Subnautica.
You get an upvote for posting, but the pics won’t load for me.
MG Exia Recirculation MG Aile Strike Recirculation MG RX 78-2 Recirculation
I love the black + bold color on these recirc kits. I’m working on the full MG Set. I know I still need the Barbatos and Wing. Are there any others?
It was an interesting build. You can see the design similarities with the GAT series but it builds totally different. Lots of gimmicks that were new to me
MG Astray Turn Red
I’m finished. Paint, top coat, panel liner, and water slides all done.
MG Exia Recirculation
I don’t know if it’s nationwide, but I saw this at a hobby lobby yesterday and couldn’t pass it up. I got an MG Jegan and with the discount it became the cheapest MG I’ve got. It seems like a great discount, but I think it works out to being MSRP or slightly less.

If you want to dm me, I’ll send you the 1/144 peeps that I have.
