MG Unicorn Banshee w/ full LEDs on, anyone? overkill liao

more here >>> not for the weak hearted lol

wow!nice!!!

nice!!
seems like the non-painted banshee is rather ugly i saw the one displayed at Jusco One Utama, like very plain and plastic unlike other MG series

i think banshee need to flat coat? else might look plastic
havent touch my banshee yet (the green inner frame 1).

by the way, bro, your email add is wrong. there's no .com behind

yeah, it look very plastic. doesnt look nice the black body, the gold parts, think they all need painting
no more new kits to show anyone? hahaha!


and thanks for pointing out on my email!

hi all sifus...a question from a newbie... i am assembling a gundam unicorn HG destroyer mode RX-0....

my main question is the panel lining. Since its entire body is white and already has red panels within, do u think its necessary to apply lining on the grooves?

Thing is, I am pretty new to assembling models (hence the HG), and i heard that the official gundam markers are too thick and dark, thus might make the gundam look worse... so is it better to leave it as it is?

Thanks guys.

P.S. I have never done panel lining before.

using red for the panel lines on unicorn would be good, since the psychoframe is red, therefore it would enhance the look of it
you can use the thicker markers and use paint remover (not thinner as i think that would damage the figure) and clean it up, or get the red gundam markers for about RM10-12 each and panel line it using that.. hope that helped

thanks sifu!!...but erm..if u refer to this old article...
URL removed

They said that the 'official' gundam markers are rather thick, is this true?

If I am going to do panel lining, i will use eraser to clean up, is this possible?

Hehe...need clarification first because I am a little nervous doing this for the first time...

already sent u a pm! and u may want to remove the link.. we're not allowed to have links on threads now

eraser is good but I prefer cotton bud coz sometimes the you might also erase the panel line using the eraser

thanks sifus for the replies!!! i will get the gundam red marker later... but i must try not to over-panel line too much...making it too distracting...

i see that the gundam unicorn destroy mode is pretty enough with those exposed red panels i think...but a little bit more panel lining will be nice hehe

yeap, personally i think unicorn is well designed enough to not need panel lines but that's just my own personal taste.. hehe
the unicorn mode may need panel lining though.. as destroy mode already has red to break up the pieces

hahaha yea..but still certain parts might need a bit of lining..such as the head of the destroy mode...hmm red marker is preferred over grey then?

yes gundam marker is abit thick and yes u can erase it with eraser.

But if you can avoid, dont use black to panel line a white kit though, it'll make the kit look unnatural. Grey is preferred or a slightly darker tone then the surface would be best. Since panel lining is just to imitate depth and shadows and since shadows are not pure black, panel lining with black would make it look cartoony.

Also dont overdo it, too much details would ruin the kit

i do think the pics in the link is a bit overdone.. btw you may want to remove the link, i don't think they're allowed haven't read the new rules myself, but people have been saying not to put links in replies to threads

i prefer to use mechanical pencil for panel lining, maybe u can try this to.
