HGUC RX-0 Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode]
This was a long build, mainly because there's a lot of panel lining and lots of small parts to get the layered "open armor" effect. Overall a really fun project though. The red effect glows under UV light!

High grade Kshatriya and also my entire shrine to Unicorn. Tried to sorta recreate their first fight. I've got HG, RG, and PG unicorn all in destroy mode. I need to get one in unicorn mode too.

One of my favorite moments in all of Gundam (outside of Hathaway's Flash) is in Unicorn:
Tumblr media
(This is definitely not just an excuse to share fan art)
At the end when Banagher yells out for the Unicorn during the Neo Zeong fight, I felt (and still feel everytime I rewatch this moment) this completely culmination of
Firstly the theme that a Gundam doesn't have to be a weapon of war as during the entire fight Banagher doesn't actually do damage to FF beyond the weapon systems on the NZ.
But secondly and more importantly to me, the fact that the Unicorn is a part of Banagher.
I feel that the more we work with tools and machines the more they become part of us, like a limb, and isn't that what a mobile suit is? Just tool that looks like our body?
Banagher spent so much time with the Unicorn and not only that, he managed to overwrite it's main mission through his sheer determination.
The Unicorn is a part of Banagher, nothing ever gets more personal than this.

one thing about people with pisces and taurus placements is that they are going to sleep. they are probably asleep right now. they are resting. napping. taking a little snooze. no one and nothing will stop them from having a little restful slumber! it does not matter where they are, what time it is, how long they slept last night or how long their to do list is. they will sleep!!! they may have their eyes open or be in a conversation with you but they are actually eyes open sleeping having a nice little dream about their future and their bed

I think the newtype space-magic bullshit is by far the weakest part of Mobile Suit Gundam. And it taints the entirety of the Universal Century timeline.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn absolutely revolves around newtypes - so, clearly, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is not my favorite show.
But it's got some absolutely fantastic mobile suit designs. And this week I've built the Real Grade RX-0 Unicorn Gundam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the many reasons I don't like buying gunpla on Amazon is that they don't seem to have any idea what appropriate shipping & handling is. They just slapped a label on the box and sent it on its way.
Needless to say - I exchanged it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right off the bat, this kit looks kind of weird. The A-runner is all a translucent pinkish-red ABS. The B-runner is also festooned with clear bits. It's all very striking even before building anything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you've spent any time on the /r/gunpla subreddit I'm sure you've seen the horror stories about broken Unicorn arms.
Well, I made sure to do my research. Made sure I was twisting in the right place. And I was able to successfully rotate those B8/B9 arm segments without issue.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unfortunately they don't normally warn you that the G35 part in the chest is weak and that rotating the shoulders may break it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I ordered some replacement G35 bits on AliExpress.
I also got some 80wt silicone shock oil to lubricate the arm joints. Just a tiny drop and some vigorous movement were enough to loosen everything up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like most Real Grades - this kit comes with a lot of sticker-style decals and an extensive marking guide.
I used the shiny green stickers for the eyes and cameras, but that's it.
Tumblr media
I picked up some waterslide decals from Delpi Decal. The picture isn't great, but there's a neat holographic finish to these decals.
Tumblr media
I also wound up painting the v-fin with a gold Gundam Marker. Nothing fancy, but it looks pretty decent. And I don't have to worry about a sticker peeling off.
Tumblr media
I didn't love the accessories for this kit. The magazines for both the bazooka and the beam magnum are kind of loose. They were constantly falling out when I was posing the kit. And the shield feels very light and insubstantial.
At least it's got the solid, pre-posed hands.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kit really looks pretty fantastic with decals and a matte topcoat. Obviously Unicorn mode is almost entirely white... But there's a good amount of surface detail. And it's got some subtle shades of white, grey, and off-white going on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The transformation to Destroy mode is kind of a pain in the ass. Lots of fiddly little bits to deal with. And posing in Destroy mode is a challenge, too. It's hard to avoid closing up panels or yanking stuff off.
Tumblr media
I've often seen people call this kit the first "good" real grade, and I think I have to disagree. This kit was a pain in the ass. It was far more fiddly than any of the real grades I've built previously. This is the first kit where I had to buy replacement parts or lube-up the joints. The first kit I'd really say needed more than just nippers to build. Definitely not beginner-friendly.
Still - it does look good now that it's up on my shelf.
I certainly won't be building any of the other Unicorn variants any time soon.

And that’s the High Grade Unicorn Destroy Mode built!
What a weird kit. I genuinely loved building the torso, arms, and legs around the Gundam’s Psycho-Frame. It was really cool and the result looks great, but my god what are these joints? I get this is slightly old by now, but they feel so limiting. Not to mention how the elbows start to come apart a little when moved a lot. And this kit was mostly reused for the high grade Phenex? A much more recent kit? That’s insane. I get it’s a model kit, not an action figure or something. It’s not meant to be moved a lot, it’s meant to be displayed, but putting a model in different poses is part of the fun of displaying them too.
Panel lining was left minimal. I only have the black fine liner to use and thought seeing that much black would be overwhelming for it.
I honestly don’t hate this kit, I like it even, but some of these design choices just seem baffling. It is a serious shame that the beam sabers and bazooka were left exclusive to the Unicorn Mode kit though. Would have been a nice option to have.
