It’s not all heartbreak. When it’s clamped in the ms cage, you can’t tell that anything is wrong. It just means that I will order a metal frame for the full armor when I get it.
My Unicorn broke its lower knee joint last night. It was hanging on an action base. I bumped the table. Lower leg fell off. I suspect that I damaged the little ring connector during assembly and it was barely touching but gave way when the table got jarred.
Thanks for the props. I’m just trying to keep the community from getting stagnant. As a bonus side effect, others have started posting more and engagement / comments are up as well.
The MG Jegan is coming along
Thanks for the info.
More progress on the MS Cage. Also did a little work on the custom painted MG Jegan.
Side note for anyone following along at home, the createx white that I sprayed never dried. It is still sticky a week later. I am going to strip it off and try something else. And recommendations on a good white. Would be a plus if it is already satin or semi-gloss.
Bonus fruit in background.
I’ve done 4 RG’s from Wing. They all had extras. I’ve got 2 Heero, 1 Zechs, and 1 Tres from those and I’ve got Amuro from 0079.
I built a Shenlong and a Deathscythe back when you could by glue together models at Walmart. Wing was still on Toonami to give you an idea of how long ago this was.
The MS Cage is coming along nicely.
If you want to dm me, I’ll send you the 1/144 peeps that I have.
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
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
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
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?
MG Astray Turn Red
I’m finished. Paint, top coat, panel liner, and water slides all done.
If they made this in 1/100 I would buy 2 of them
