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!Originally Posted by gamblor916
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.The inner frame by itself looks gorgeous. Maybe just leave it like that.

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:

After panel lining (using a Sharpie and Zippo lighter fluid), painting it and randomly applying decals (from other Gundam kits) to create the appearance of markings, I think I've finished.
It's my first panel lined and painted kit, so I know it's fairly rough and there's plenty of areas for improvement, but I'm fairly happy with the finished product.
It was made up for a group build contest with the theme being 'Ground War Grunts' - hence the dirty and militaristic look of it.

VP & gamblor:
Looking ace with the painted kits. Light up eyes! May as well go all out eh g?
VP:
Yeah it was pretty inevitable for a MG Banshee. It's the exact same mold with just a different "V-fin" and the arm mounted weapons. Looks like I'll have to get a 4th version of the mold. X|
MG Buster, Blitz & Aegis... I'm in for all 3, especially for Aegis as I love it's "alt mode" claw ship thing. Buster & Blitz are just awesome and elegantly simple & clean design.
Also, don't forget Real Grade Mk.II! Titan's repaint is a given.
