haha, yup, looking good in video.
but still need a review 1st.

soon, PG gonna make a green frame with Green LED to milk money.  brows.gif

the PV actually gained me *some* interest with the PG Unicorn, while all these time I was just like "meh" when Bandai announced it lol sweat.gif

onoreeee Bandai

QUOTE(Vorador @ Nov 20 2014, 12:17 PM)
exactly what I thought  laugh.gif  *point to PG blue frame*

Anyway as a dude who never own a MG unicorn, I'm buying this without 2nd thought. (in fact I had placed my order month ago lol)

Ok I had had the color planned in mind, tmmr shall go shop for all the gundam spray can! ( cry.gif )

I'd say, go go go go thumbup.gif

PG Freedom is a no no, because when PG Strike was out, SF was already developed for Seed Destiny laugh.gif
Please Bandai, a PG Banshee next year notworthy.gif

I guess RG Wing Zero is out of the picture now, ehh?
*
saw the RG Wing Zero during the last Gunpla Expo in IPC. I am not really a Wing fan, but was quite disappointed with the displayed unit. it might not be finalized yet, but still, meh >_>

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Nov 20 2014, 01:43 PM)
actually Bandai kinda planned to drop the PG line already, but the demand for a PG Unicorn is so high that they continue

after Unicorn, I can't think of any main protagonist MS that would garner much demand from fans for a PG kit
the only ones with higher chances in my opinion are Sinanju, Nu, and Sazabi
*
PG Nu. now that's something interesting. I wonder if they would just make 1/60 MG Nu. Ver. Ka whistling.gif

QUOTE(xein @ Nov 20 2014, 02:00 PM)
I'd love a PG Reborns Gundam. Even if just watching the images and reading the review.
*
not a chance. if the demand was actually there, Bandai would have given it MG treatment

00 Raiser on the hand was quite a special case, where the PG came after the HG, and only after that they come out with the MG

I guess they PG sales cause them some trouble back then? Consider we got 2 PG released back to back at 2009 (Red Frame and 00), then 2010 got SF. I tot we gonna get another PG atleast in 2011... ...

(However, from PG Strike Rouge to Red frame also 4 years)
*
PG Strike Rouge is just basically a recoloured & repacked version of PG Strike & PG Skygrasper + Aile Striker

QUOTE(Vorador @ Nov 20 2014, 02:49 PM)
let's pressure bandai to make a PG Ball then ~~

p/s: Er... the "3rd mode" for PG Unicorn only means psycho frame open big big?
*
lol PG Ball. having MG Ball Ver. Ka is somewhat already an overkill to me sweat.gif

notice the heels.

the ABF D uses the "standard" Astray feet but the 2nd Revise have the elevated ones with hidden blades in it

plus, the backpack for the ABF D is heavier so needed to position the legs at a wider stance so that it can stand properly (barely noticeable in the pic)

wow that means u're a sifu! Can share how you able to remember the parts? (Like how u organize it?)
hm... if single limb may be ok (For me somehow I also able to remember the component because already pre-assemble it)

But for my case I can't do like this because I use spray can, so I must put them all together and spray it in 1 go... rclxub.gif  doh.gif  (Yes I always the spray can guy)
*
maybe you can use those small plastic containers, and label each containers by the runner label?

or maybe, label it based on the part it belongs to; head, torso, arm etc

me no sifu, but I've seen fellow builders use this method nod.gif

That's pretty good idea  thumbup.gif  And I think it also helps to plan those component which need to be painted from the inside. (For example, the skirt and flipping part of Unicorn which will be revealed after transformed)

The reason is I really do not want to dissemble the whole thing for painting then assembly again because kinda worry to accidentally damage the LED wire. hmm.gif
*
I think the solution is simple: put in the LED units only during final assembly (after all painting job is done)

you still need to take it off after initial assembly anyways once you have figured out the colour scheme that you wanted, so putting in the LEDs on that early stage of the build wouldn't bring much use, at least in my opinion sweat.gif

laugh.gif  I really wonder how in the world I forgot that the LED is completely independence and the Unicorn can be built without it.

Ok so be it, will do it this way  thumbup.gif
*
lol a bit too over-hyped, are we? laugh.gif

unless you're planning on re-painting the psycoframes, I believe you would do just fine with putting the LEDs only during the final assembly.

plus, painted armor parts would further reduce the "leak" coming from the LED light unlike unpainted ones rolleyes.gif

Definitely not going to paint the psycoframes... what a waste... (Unless not going to buy the LED Unit)

Anyway don't think painting will block out the LED bloom that much, see this:

We can see the amour memang block the lights, and some of the bloom was reflected. (But I do agree that painted one won't reflect so much)

And yes, I'm hopelessly over-hyped by this released!

fuh. totally diggin' the closed armour one. looks like the Unicorn is eager to be released! thumbup.gif

just like xein said..

if not painted.. top coat last, if painted topcoat 2x
*
depends actually. some might put in topcoat in between the layers to get certain finishes, like weathering (some coat to protect the base colour paints, several other coats to protect the weathering effects) but off all, there should always be another (might be several) clear coat to seal everything off, including the decals

QUOTE(Vorador @ Nov 26 2014, 10:46 AM)
aiks... all my gundam are decal last... doh.gif:

the top coat was meant to protect everything; paints, effects and decals so you might want to apply another layer there sweat.gif

Then u probably will facepalm on my method:

- Spray base color
- Weathering
- Top coat
- Decal

TADA~~~

But since I was using the mark settler, I never experience any decal fall off or so, at least all decals on my Sazabi still stick:

[attachmentid=4233239]

haha. should add another layer of top coat I guess sweat.gif

btw I do notice that the water decals sticks better on painted surface

If I'm not mistaken, you have to have a japanese address AND a japanese issued credit card to purchase. If not I would have maxed my credit already.  tongue.gif
Not sure for P-Bandai Hong Kong, though.

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Nov 26 2014, 03:48 PM)
The problem actually is the payment method. IINM they only accept Japan credit card, payment through local convenience stores and cash-on-delivery; the latter two need you to go to Japan to pay. The Japan address you can get through service like Tenso.

I see. thanks for the info notworthy.gif

Mg zeta 2.0 and HD, which 1 better?
*
build-wise, both are basically the same kit.

the main difference would be, the HD version has glossy-type plastics, plus the colours seems a bit brighter than the normal one. aside from that, the HD version also got some extra metallic water slide decals

there's always Dalong to help icon_idea.gif
