RX-0 Unicorn - Destroy Mode Gallery

Kit: MG Unicorn Gundam

(For more Unicorn Gundam goodness you can view galleries of the Gatlings, Bazooka, and Rifle.)

Well, here it is. The 'Destroy Mode' gallery. And with this I can properly end this chapter in my gunpla life. And not a moment too soon, I must add. Transforming this guy and then trying to get him to stay that way while I posed him was a chore. The clasp at the back that is supposed to keep the torso in destroy mode won't stay closed which meant he would often become wobbly and lean forward. His shoulders would start to close, his arms would pop off, his feet wouldn't stay open. Add to that the problems I encountered with the camera set-up at work -couldn't get the lighting right- and I am admittedly quite happy to be done with this.

In this shot you can see what I did to the rear center block on the skirt. I like it.

Here the 'Gray Ghost' poses with his nemesis, the "Yellowbird" (I still love this thing!)

I don't intend to keep him in Destroy Mode, but I may display him in a hybrid sorta way for the next little while.

So long Unicorn!

Let's take a look at some of the details.

Here I have extended the rear center block for the skirt. It turned out nicely and doesn't look out of place when viewed from the front.

The mechanisms in the foot were painted with Mr. Hobby Silver. Viewable from certain angles.

Here you can see the tiny piece of plastic I added to the arms near the elbows to cover up the hole which previously allowed you a view of the psychoframe.
