Full Armor Unicorn

 

Here's a clever and dynamic opening paragraph that gets you interested in reading what I have to say about this build instead of skipping to the photos.

Despite building so many Unicorn Gundam kits over the last 8 years there's always been a few ideas I've had floating around but never got to. While a Marida Cruz custom Unicorn was the runner up in my recent poll of 'what project should I tackle next,' it just happened to coincide with r/Gundam slash r/Gunpla's UC 0096 group build on discord. Figured now would be a good time to try out a few of those ideas and see how they play out.

Just as soon as I finished building my MG Banshee, things begin again. The 6th, and perhaps final, member of my MG Unicorn family has arrived - the MG Full Armor Unicorn.

It comes after my MG Delta Plus placed first in Gundam Australia Forum's Delta Group Build. A special thanks to Sonar, of Gundam Australia, and Ryan Sabourin of HLJ.

Time to start keep building! 

At last, I my Full Armor Unicorn is complete. First a few photos you may have already seen...

It's been a while since I posted any updated shots. This is how the kit looks prior to transformation. Missing a few parts here and there. It will probably never be in this configuration again.

How about an update? Plus another shot of the metallic green!

The legs are finished. A few pieces are over drying still. It's almost ready for a top coat but I'm still debating whether or not to do some decals. But first I need to finish the leg launchers.

A while back I set into motion a rather ambitious project. A third MG Unicorn themed off of the Full Armor version. It's not going to have all of the bells and whistles though. It'll be toned down a little bit, but should be impressive none the less. It'll also feature a four toned paint job (white, light gray, gray, dark gray) and a brilliant metalic green for the psycho frame.
