1/100 MG RX-0 Unicorn Ver. KA
Hmm, it's been a long time since i updated my blog. And all along i only posted my completed kits here cos didn't take pics when doing those kits. Now i am thinking of posting my W.I.P for my kits here to share with other plamo modellers on how i do each of my plamo. So bros who visits my blogs, 请多多指教!!
So for now, will be posting the W.I.P for my unicorn. For this MG kit, i decided to mod the legs and hand armour to facillitate more poses. After consulting a few mods from the web, i decided to edit abit here and there from those mods seen on the web. Cos some of the mods, i dun really like how the leg look after the mod.
But first up, is the panel which will be exposed during Destroy mode. I followed the method as illustrated in the Feb issue of Dengeki mag. I like the idea of how the silver on the internal make the panel line on those red panel look after painting. And by painting the external with clear red, it actually make the panel more transparent and glass like. Very impressed with the result. Here is how it looks as compare to non painted:
And one close up:
Next up, the leg mod which i am quite hesitant to do. But after looking through most of the poseability of the completed unicorn on the net. I decided to mod the legs so that i will be able to do more poses.
After studying how the leg joint moves, I cut and trim away the parts as shown so that the joints can bend to the max:
After removing the obtructing parts, test build to see how far it can bend:
Test built again without armour to see how it can pose:
Test build again to see how the white goes with the painted red panel:
