1/60 PG Unicorn

First a note on the decals. I'm using some 3rd party ones because this wonderful kit only ships with stickers. For Bandai to only put stickers in the box rather than additionally including proper water-slide decals is just not right. Yes, I know you can get them with the P-Bandai Full Armor upgrade pack, but … Continue Reading ››

As you know from reading through my work-in-progress posts, I've been using some fluorescent paints on the PG Unicorn. I also bought a small UV flashlight on Amazon to help me show how the model looks when lit with UV light.

Just using the UV light (and … Continue Reading ››

Painting and building of the PG Unicorn are complete. I'm awaiting some water-slide decals arriving, so as it will now be a while before I can do proper photos and the transform, here's some quick ones to show the mech and weapons.

Even in a non-transformed state … Continue Reading ››

Next up on this epic build are the weapons. Carrying the theme through I'm using the same combination of paints that I've used for the mech, just with a bias in the opposite direction, making most pieces gunmetal, with white and grey accents and details done with the three shades of grey/blue.Continue Reading ››

The head turned out to be a little harder to assemble than I'd have liked, but the real key is to read through the steps of the instructions very very carefully and don't miss steps. Also, I'd advise leaving the back plate off until the end as otherwise it's easy to scratch and mark. I … Continue Reading ››

The arms on the Unicorn turned out to be rather more complex and involved than I thought they'd be. As with the rest of the kit I've used extensive masking to put detail onto the armour and to follow through the colour scheme I've established with the body and legs.

The legs of the Unicorn are highly complex and full of detail.

These flaps open up on the transform and allow you to see their insides, so I used some of the Createx fluorescent green which may just light up nice with the UV LEDs. Continue Reading ››

As you can guess I've been busy which is why I've not update the blog recently for the PG Unicorn build. I'm remedying that now with a comprehensive build update!

First off, I was impressed with the size of the complete Unicorn feet so brought the PG … Continue Reading ››

The last few weeks have been busy here, so little time for Unicorn. I just got back from a week visiting a trade show (NAB in Las Vegas), so I'm posting a quick photo update on the build.

Now that winter is over, spring is bringing bright … Continue Reading ››

I bought the Unicorn PG as soon as it came out, along with the LED set, and I've been aching to get started on it, but because I'd already built the MG Unicorn, I wanted to think on how best to paint the PG version.

As I'd … Continue Reading ››
