Fully armed. Ready to strike!


Not much progress from modelling but I managed to some time to unbox my 1/144 Full-Armor Unicorn Gundam (Gundam Fix Figuration). I must say the materials used on this kit is more "playable" (though that's not what it was inteneded for); I feel that is of better quality than the initial GFF kits which tends to have parts having difficulty attaching to each other. For example, the additional booster feels like quality plastic was being used and the detailing on the booster was really nice.

Some of the complains I have about this kit includes the misaligned V-fin. It wasn't attached symmetrically to the head; I have to adjust the fin with some tools to get it to the rigt position. The other issue I have with the kit are the double gattling guns attached to the shields; they are not really tight and I pinch a little bit of blue-tac in order to keep the parts in place.

Overall, this is still a nice kit. I think it's time now to work on my 1/144 Unicorn Gundams to pair up with this monster.
