HGUC Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode) and HG Masurao- Completed!

Just finished Masurao yesterday! I've already completed the Unicorn before the holidays end, but I never had the time to post it. Anyway, I've decided to combine these two posts into one just to save time. ^^
Lets start with Unicorn first! For some reasons, I added weathering to it and well, the end results are pretty good. ^^

Front view.

Rear view.
For accessories, the kit comes with a hyper bazooka, 4 beam sabers and one shield. The beam magnum isn't inculded as it's already in the destroy mode release of the unicorn.



The bazooka is really solid. It helps the Unicorn to pull off some really awesome poses too. ^^


What's more, the bazooka can be stored on the backpack. The ammo pack can also be stored on the back skirt armours.


The kit comes with four beam saber handles, but there are only 2 beam effect parts. Therefore, only the ones on the backpack can be used. The ones in the arms will only be in used in the destroy mode.


The shield has lots of details underneath it, and well, it really makes the Unicorn looks a hell lot better with it. ^^
Overall, this kit is another must-get. It's just too great. Great design, great accessories, great kit. ^^ However, the only flaw is that the joints on the arms are really loose. Just a little fiddling on it and it comes apart. But still, despite that, it's really good. Get the destroy mode too they will be great add-ons to your collection. ^^

That's all for Unicorn. Now, lets get to Masurao! This Samurai-looking flag suit has always been one of my favourite mech in the series. For this kit, I only did some linings and painted some parts yellow. Simple yet awesome! =D And if you think this kit is just a simple recolur, then you are wrong! This kit comes with new joints for the side skirts and new open palms and a close fist. The head ornament, and even the tri-punisher is also different!

Front view.

Rear view.
For the accessories, Masurao comes with its trademark twin beam kantanas, called Howard and Daryl. The names are actually Mr. Bushido's (Graham's) late comrades. They were both killed by Celestial Being, so maybe that's why Mr. Bushido has such a grude against them .O_O



Awesome!!

The cannon in the torso is being sealed up. No more tri-punisher for Masurao. =(


A new open palm is added to the left hand to recreate his trademark pose. ^^
Like Susanowo, a beam chakram can be added to the head. However, I didn't took a picture of it as it's still unpainted. Hahas.
Anyway, that's all for Masurao. If you haven't get the Susanowo, get this!
 
That's all for this combined post. Thanks for viewing and well, till the next post everyone!
