I do likewise tooNormally after building something that's given me the sh!ts with nub removal (special coating or darker coloured kits), I tend to build lighter coloured ones so that I don't have to concentrate as much.
It's the HD version: http://dalong.net/review/mg/m37s/m37s_p.htm
I'm not a fan of the boxy look of this guy or the colours - he looks kinda lame IMO... easy pass for moi.
Here's some WIP pics of my first custom - inner frame assembled and painted:

Yeah definitely mate, but to be honest, painting's not really my thing - just doing the inner frame has already pi$$ed me off monumentally!
Not even sure if I'll continue painting the exterior, might just slap it all together and maybe do some panel lining and stick the decals on and call it quits.
Yeah I've seen his builds - the amazing thing is that the majority of those are the smaller 1/144 high grade kits![]()
The inner frame by itself looks gorgeous. Maybe just leave it like that.
Got some more kits today...

Oh and that little thing on the right is just MG Full Armor Unicorn. Nothing special.![]()
I've pretty much given up on painting the Zaku - have highlighted some areas with a worn metallic look, added panel lining (using a Sharpie and Zippo lighter fluid) and will add some decals and call it quits.
Painting's definitely not for me - panel lining (using the above technique) though, is something that I think I'll be doing a lot of from here on out since it's quite easy to make them look right and achieve perfect lines.
Congrats on the FA Unicorn - maybe just build the weapons and attachments and put them on the existing Unicorn you have?
Personally I think the red colour highlights on the previous release looks better than the green.
Let me know if you end up doing this and want to hock off your unbuilt MG Unicorn from this kit, I'll gladly take it off your hands since the weapons and attachments don't interest me, but I'm liking the idea of (getting someone to) custom paint up a Unicorn in Titans colours.![]()
VP: You know they have already made your wish come true. It's in HG form at the moment but a MG is inevitable. I present to you, Unicorn II - Banshee:
