my RG Zgok repainted in Unicorn ver colors. Of the 5 RG kits i've built so far, this one feels the most solid.

Really? It feels wobbly to me, way more than a conventional kit does, probably due to the beefy armor but thin frame I guess.

Nice paint job as always thumbup.gif

To fix the nub marks on Phenex, try Bosny copper gold. It's not 100% fix though.

Owning a god hand can just straight cut it without leaving runner space and using wave file can remove whatever marks that god hand left off.

Anyway have you use god hand before?
*
That's not god hand.

God hand = absolutely no additional tool required.

care to share the opinion between this and the RG?

I been wanting a char zaku but never able to decide which to get (MG, RG, HG.....and many more)

RG color seems to be a blend of pink and red, while this one is more to red?
and does the articulation is as good as RG?
*
Technically RG is still superior, however;

The huge-ass rifle is the main attraction laugh.gif

What's wrong with pink? Once you finish and top coat the kit, it will be awesome.

Generally flat is recommended.

You'll want to gloss coat part that is supposed to be shiny like metallic painted piston or thrusters.

Hi, I saw this LED Unit for Gunpla at BTS, what kind of MG is it compatible with other than OO Gundam series?  Does Nu ver ka using the same LED Set too, Will it fit?

I just realise the Unicorn MG does not provide any space to slot in the LED unit sad.gif
*
The LED unit is compatible only for some MG kits, mainly AD's Exia/00R variant and main UC like 3.0, Nu, Sazabi, and Jesta

Nu is awesome, it gives the wow factor more than the Unicorn, but prepare to pull your hair out when posing the funnels on its back.

Lost interest in the warehouse sales. The promotions get worse after the first few times.

You don't coat electroplated parts.

just stick the decals without any protection?

If you want to lose the shines and mirror effect, then no clear coating, even gloss or satin.

Unless, you have access to industrial grade sealer.

yea, gotten myself some files, the unicorn has some rather nasty nubs especially on the blue parts, but well, the decals kinda covered them laugh.gif
waiting to try out those files and sanding tools on the next gunpla, probably Nu Ver.ka, still my top choice atm

Unicorn is an old kit, old kits are not properly undergated.

Nu Ka is awesome as hell, but prepare to be disappointed with the funnels assembly, weak hands, and difficult-as-hell to unassemble the pieces.

My advice is you do the detailing, decaling and topcoating by pieces before assembling them.
