MG Gundam Sandrock EW Roll-Out Color Version

Definitely there is no denying that I was eagerly itching to paint this kit after I had snapped-fit it a few days ago. After this is I'll be back to my destroy mode to finally wrap up the Unicorn. Anyway, here is the so called roll-out version - ala Exia roll-out color that I also previously did with the Gundam Virtue. At first, I thought of retaining the original white color   of the OOB because it's already a bit fine. It has a sort of off-white but still quite "plasticky" when stared at. So I then proceeded in painting it. 

The customisation I had made revolved only with the paint job. I had painted it with a flat grey and graphite. Metallic blue and honey gold for the accents. Later on, I applied soft weathering. Then of course the decals. Photos are all raw - no photoshop tricks here.

I tinkered with the B/W of my camera. Hmmmm... quite serene or dramatic for a portrait.

Out of the Box - MG Gundam Sandrock EW

Here it is! , MG Gundam Sandrock EW from the Gundam Wing Series. Staright out of the box after I've snapped fitted it. I have to admit that I temporarily froze the work on my Unicorn "Ver Ka". It took the whole night to assemble the kit. I didn't put any decals yet since I will soon paint it anyway. And just a preview and I have to say, it has a pair of sexy but a "kick-ass" heat shotels. Plus its shield is awesome!

A Glimpse of the Gundam Unicorn "Ver Ka" Metallic Inox Steel Finish

While I was on my way of trying to complete MG Gundam Unicorn "Ver Ka", the Banshee Unicorm suddenly popped out at the end of the scene in the episode 4 of the Unicorm series. Grrrr! that Banshee surely looks astonishingly cool. Apparently, the HGUC Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode versions will be rolled-out by Bandai this coming January 2012 according to gundam.info as shown in the picture way below.

Here (above) is by the way the progress I have made with my Unicorn - so called Metallic Inox Steel Finish. I custom painted it with a mixture of carbon graphite and silver to achieve a diffrent effect so it's NOT glossy like the typical Titanium Finish that Bandai released. Though the details are not yet really visble here in the photo. I will post more detailed photos in the future once I have completed the kit. So far I have only put a couple of decals  and have to weather it. The weapons too are yet to be assembled.
