HGUC MSV Zaku II - WIP 4

Fine looking MS

In the previous post, we have completed the body and legs for this MS. It is time to give this MS hands to hold the weapon and finally the head to complete the kit. The hands are simple and straight forward. There are no hidden surprises here like the legs and body section.

Perfect Grade 1/60 Unicorn update 2

Big reveal..

 

Here is the PG Unicorn which everyone is waiting to have a look at. This is a short video (41 secs) and it shows the Destroy mode and 3rd form of the Unicorn. This looks promising and I hope those who wish to get their hands on this beast has already pre-ordered. As far as I know, all shops which are taking pre-order are now closed.

Teaser

Here is a teaser for the new upcoming Perfect Grade Unicorn. Released just a day before the Gunpla Expo 2014 in Akiba.

Watched this video more than once and everytime I watch it, I feel like getting the Unicorn. I guess this is the most anticipated kit of the year.

Not so straight forward build

 

Mentioned in the previous post, this post will be about the legs and body. There are some things in this build which was unexpected. This makes the kit more interesting (for me) and I wish Ban Dai has done more of this for more kits. In order to reveal the twist in this build, let's start building from the legs.

Paint job

 

After taking a look at the manual and separating the parts into their respective boxes in the last post, this post will be about parts which requires painting. I did not take photos of how the pieces are before they were painted. All I can say is that they all come in one color. The amount of parts required for a paint job is not a lot. This is also true for the number of paints required. One thing I did differently are putting on the decals/stickers right after the paint job has been completed.
