I'm not the mainstream people who use acrylic paint.. I'm using lacquer paint.
I guess maybe need practice over time will be ok.. not as perfect as airbrush but i can live with it.
I am mainly use as per below

Dark metallic dark & light green
Metallic yellow
Metallic white silver/dark silver
Gun metal black
Cool white
Metallic red
Metallic dark blue

I can't remember what else I used.. i think that is about all.. to get a better finish for hand paint
use thinner with retarder.. & remember to get a respirator.. the lacquer paint smell can kill..

bro just try practice on cheaper kits.. i screw up initially.. but i think the retarder did the trick
pretty weight for smoother surface finish.. + top coat don't straightaway go hand paint ur
expensive kit or kit u like.. high chance will have heartbreak..

No space for the kit to stretch the claw.. but it will be nice if there is a daban version..

I hope they come out with the-O at half the orignal price

who P/O the PG strike freedom already?

Anywhere can see the picture of the kit etc?

Mine next week.. The prob no space now

Just managed to fix up the MS... Anyone have any idea if there are 2 shield connector in this kit?
i intend to build a normal unicorn without those extra weapons but seem like i only found one connector..
Have never fix a unicorn before found the head and chest part quite confusing..

Thanks Man.. Think may repaint it since I have 1 more tt hongli FA..

Looks good bro.. I never have that type of surgeon hand to do it.. i bet i will cut myself..

I screwed up my HI-NU.. now left with the MS with the rifle and shield.. unsure what to do with it..
thinking of either to make it a ground type or test some color scheme on it.. any bro here got good suggestion..
its without the backpack and funnel system.. I need squeeze out some weapon or backpack from another kit to make it work
but got no spare kits for it..

i have the backpack actually but the stand is missing.. I think i'll just repaint it to either a sinanju color variation or grey and purple.. I have quite a handful of metallic yellow but doubt it will look nice if i painted it fully yellow.. it may look like the puke yellow.. unsure what to do with the yellow.. initially think of doing a MG unicorn phoenix and even bought 2 full armor DE shield.. but the more I look at the yellow the more I hated it I just can't make up my mind..

haha yeah I just bought clear dark blue and silver.. think i'll try to do titan finish..
before that this long weekend i will need to first paint my MG rick dom, sinanju head stand..
if I can squeeze more time will paint my hi-nu and daban 7 sword.. so many kit all snap fixed
for a long time but not painting.. i haven count the half painted hg zulu guard type.. then there
is the half completed MG full armor unicorn.. then I need to go pick up the PG SF.. quite strange
I don't feel excitement about the kit.. in fact I am quite worried it may not be a good investment..
so far I haven't see any bro here and internet showing review of that kit.. hopefully everything
is in order without missing part or errors..

yes bro, I will do unboxing since I'm quite free this weekend. I am not quite bothered about the gold since i intend to repaint it.. just worried it may have stability problem since I intend to display it right on top of my cabinet. if it topper over I may be the first case of getting killed by my own model kit joke aside if its oo raiser or red frame i will be more excited.. Its more of a personal preference thing.. lt will be my first ever PG..

btw anyone have experience after painting a kit the plastic become brittle? my dragon momoko epyon after painted it and displayed for quite long, recently have took it out and found some plastic just seem to chip off

Tomorrow I will be painting my Rick Dom.. and if got enough spare time will paint the sinanju head stand..
if still got spare time I may just doing some decal for the FA unicorn.. but i think i'll go crazy.. i'm quite bad at
sticking those very small decal.. the only kit i completely decal up is the tallgeese 1.

I will grab it if its available here.. 13cm tall, I'll fix it and bring it to workplace and display it on my desk

As promised I have unbox my PG strike freedom. Just got it today and checked the runners.
Checked and no missing parts..

The box art


I skipped the black, red, blue, grey part since its quite standard.. The gold part actually have 3 types
side by side against one another


First gold look more like silver finishing.. Have never build a freedom before but from look seem like the dragoon parts.
Total 2 types of plate with this finish


2nd type of gold look more like gold chrome..


3rd types of gold i guess will be the inner frame where u can't see.. the gold is like puke gold..


Unsure if I will paint all of them into same gold or only paint those puke gold.. I will decide later..

They give 2 LED light.. just in case u spoil one.. come with batteries and other accessories.


This one is the error make by daban.. the shield effect part print is out of alignment. I don't think i'll use it anyway.. just fyi..


Next the manual.. seem to be in order and printing can see clearly.



I wouldn't be starting it soon hence it will be in my backlog.. still halfway fixing my MG wing zero and MG duel..
I intend to paint the PG red, blue and gold parts.. Threw on top of the display cabinet =p

Auto unicorn gundam transform..

finished my TT hongli FA unicorn.. was satisfied with the build.. it look massive.
One surprise of the kit.. it can stand on its own without the propellant tank. If install the propellant tank
with the stand it can stand out straight without any problem.. i

I'm getting from the seller.. luckily never P/O the panda one...

From Hong Kong.
