no and no
stay away if you are beginner

1. beginner should stay away for any transformable MG, not just only Unicorn as they dont familiar with gunpla yet
2. yes, it is hard to build for beginner, you will ended up broke some part, many Unicorn owners reported broke the v-fin, thats including me

this Graze took my interest

It is called as pseudo inner frame, Bandai already use this for new HG before Barbatos..
for example HG Red Frame Flight Type & HGCE Aile Strike

yeah, the frame dont even have cockpit hatch detail so it is not a full inner frame

nope, while its indeed save time for cutting, God Hand is still a precision cutter(narrow tiny type one) like other hobby brand, it is just a marketing gimmick, why buy overpriced precision cutter while you got brand like Tamiya, Mr Hobby and Hasegawa?
Wave file dont have any special feature too, it is still same like any other files.

Wise word: buy overpriced tools doesnt automatically make you a pro, it is depend on skills

nice work
love the color scheme

about other I think the pla-plate used is too thick so the details not really stunning and look blocky

I read somewhere Barbatos have 4 form so far, definitely milking success lol

the 1/100 Graze have better detail if you dig the 'inner frame'

hidden mode

there is no metallic white but you can try pearl white
it have same finish with other metallic paint color


-----------------------------------

btw for PG Banshee Norn based on pic, the shield attachment likely cant support heavy shield too longer, the arm will fall down
HG is better looking lol

new expo kit have p-bandai addon lol

get the recently released PG Banshee, the old PG Strike is one of best PG too
another one is PG Astray Red Frame but that kit is too bulky compared to Red Frame from other grade
in the end, just buy what you like most

nice, no longer have loose joint issue with new joint design

Kotobukiya Arbalest

managed to get HG Barbatos so here is quick review
-runner got sidegate and undergate make cleaning nub easier, I just cut part from runner, remove the nub with hand and later clean it with sandpaper, no hassle
-'inner frame' made by PS not ABS plastic, way better and good looking, the sword and mace feel soft though
-articulation is so so, still can pose but fragile due to slim waist & piston
-C clip for mace and sword holder kinda shitty, cant hold well and got stress mark if you keep force it
-do it worth your buy? yes! totally recommend this kit, cheap price, easy to build even newbie also can make this

somewhat future project planned
