SD Unicorn Strikes Twice [Work Log]

Ok, once in a while I'd like to do a complete WIP post just like my fellow Arrel :D
So this is my WIP post for SD unicorn, picture taken wif pocket camera hence the lower quality than usual :p

Start with the head part. It has two faces inside the head for transformation gimmick. But you need to actually take it apart to switch faces. The unicorn horn is not sticked together at the top so it can be open and close, doesn't look like a sturdy horn in the end. :-\

Next is torso.. Clear red parts inside, white parts outside, simple. Notice the sword handle is only half, when you look from the back, not so good.

Hip (I don't like to use crotch haha) parts, also simple. with the front armor can be rotate up for legs movement.

Assembling the legs, you can do it blind folded! XD Actually the joint ball are too loose, it falls off quite often when making pose -_-

Arms, is kinda tricky in the shoulder since can be transform between normal and destroy mode (reveal the red parts inside). And I broke one part (see below) T_T  Let's just say it's battle damage! hahahha..

Weapons : Beam saber, Vulcan gun and shield

SD Unicorn in normal mode, hiding the red psychoframe (most of them) inside.. He's shy and quiet (no mouth part XD)

I did try another future coat after sticking the dry stickers and It didn't turn out good.. after dried, some blue dots appear at the edge of the stickers.. Better coat with something else for stickers..

So that's my SD Unicorn work log. This kit is cute and has nice gimmicks, with few minor complaints :D
Thanks for viewing ^^/

SD Unicorn Gundam, the white knight Glossy Build

This is my third SD kit since my initial two sangokuden kits (I forgot their name ^^;;). I did it in a day last weekend. It's a nice refreshing between big-complex-very-long-to-finish kit :p hehe..

This is actually worth the price. It has some transformation gimmick, transforming between normal and destroy mode. I still didn't have the chance to take photo of the gimmicks, maybe later. 

And in addition few nice decals :D Although one bad note is that the decals size is too big because of the margin empty space. For example if you see on the shoulder, there are blue unicorn head marking and some words in red marking. This actually is overlapping each other on the empty space. I have to trim it with knife.

On building this kit, this time I have the chance experimenting with Future for top coat.

What is Future? Future is an acrylic based floor polishing. I read few article on internet that's its actually very good for top coat and produce glossy look. So I gave it a try, although I bought the future few months back but never had the chance (or guts) ^^

Below is the picture of the Future bottle.

Put just enough in a container.

And use brush to apply it to the kit. Depend on the size of the parts, choose the right brush size. Future has self leveling property, so do not afraid of applying to much.. And watch out for bubbles, be sure to wipe them. After applying, dry it on top of tissue or paper. Do not dry in a direct sunlight and windy place. After an hour or two, you can touch it. The result is quite good. I say it's better than using glossy top coat spray can (or I'm not doing it right hehe :p).

As a bonus, if you want to trim sprue left over from the runner after applying future. the trimming process is just smooth and easy :D  If you want a complete reference about future, read here.

I haven't do lining yet. It feels like ruining the gloss and glory hehe.. maybe not doing this time.

Thanks for reading ^^
