After I saw the vid the first time, I went and bought the kit and led unit. The video is great and helping with the hard steps of the build. This is way better than the instruction manual, thank you.
Yeah, it took me a whole year from finishing the kit till the final upload. I grew tired at some point and didn't touch the editing for months, and the whole pandemic added to the mix. When it was hitting our hospital the worst I had to work 12-15hrs daily, 6 days a week, we only had Sunday free... Kit assembly took almost 3 months because of it.
@@labombaboy9433 I didn't have the needed tools back then, and it was like my 4th project, or something. Now I'm using Gunprimer Riser. I tried to hide nubs with gundam markers.
I am sad that the Banshee doesn't come with the rotary guns that the Unicorn comes with. They're much cooler than the claw (even if the claw is pretty cool).
So I wanted to know about something: At the head build, I did see that you applied the metallic foil stickers for both the Destroy Mode eyes and Unicorn Visor, do they illuminate as much when they're applied on the back to provide more as a filter to let the LED's bleed into the eyes more vibrantly? And by the way, excellent pacing, even if it's a bit dragged, but it's the point of showing how each part of the entire kit is built under a complex structure, pretty much none of any other channels had any distinct form like this, and it's great to see something that is both instructional and both informative with how all of it goes until the end
Not sure, tbh. I didn't try without them, in any of the Unicorn molds, but I guess its mostly for bleeding, there are more foils in the arms and shoulders for the same purpose. Heck, even PG Unleashed has stickers for the eyes. And thx for the kind words.
Lol, already did two Unicorn molds, its all the same, the only difference is in their accessories. I was actually eyeing Phenex Narrative version, but it was 700 dollars plus delivery, and I already spewed quite a lot of money for Yamato SDF-1 and VF1-D kits. My next Gundam project is most likely GP-01.
It was my first time doing it, some bits are tough to pull, plus insecurity over stripping off waterslides... I never touched it again, its still in the destroy mode.
must have been a pain to make this video editing a almost 3 hour video is so hard also that's a strong camera you have my camera cant even capture a 10 minute video lmao. i have a few questions if you would like to answer them 1: do the LED wires get in the way of the transformation? 2: is this a daban kit? thats all anyways great video man keep it up
It was just a Samsung S10 phone that I had back then. Wires don't get in the way, you are just moving some panels for the transformation. And this is the official Bandai kit, not Daban.
I'm sure you can google the charts, but usually whatever pack you are buying its noted what colors its having. In this case I was leading myself by the eyes only. I used Gunmetal from the basic set, for the weapons and fingers, seemed like a great match, especially for the weapons. The armor itself is navi blue, but I didn't have that color at the time so I used grey from the Gundam Seed set, the dots weren't too big and it was important for me that the light nubs don't stick out too much. Nowadays I'm simply using Gunprimer Riser to remove the nubs.
31:30 there, when I assemble them is still strong attach to each other, but when I put all parts together especially for installing the LED, I found out that this part can’t attach to each other anymore, is this normal?
@@harshdark325 yeah, there's an instruction with it that explains how to upgrade, but I never bothered to study it in detail. Its in the basement now in the box, I'm sure you can find scans online and see it for yourself if unsure about it.
@@tfr89564 amiami store. You can see their postcard at the beginning of the unboxing. But atm the page of the product is unavailable, probably not in stock for a while.
@@nguyenthien-ov4dh if you are asking about the expansion pack I got it on ebay, I think it was around 70 dollars, but that was years ago... its a premium bandai item.
Well, they should be, if you topcoat them properly, that is... I didn't want to go overboard with the topcoat, so on some sections they tend to peel off if exposed to the direct sunlight. I have the mark setter so I just remedy them with that.
For the most part - yes. Gold bits from the chest and backpack mostly. Golden claws from the expansion pack are a different story, nubs on them are really exposed, but could be remedied a bit with the golden marker.
@@youraveragehumanbeing806 some tiny, hardly visible. It seems to be the same color plastic, not painted gold over darker one like for the claws, or like on PG Phenex.
Well, each click is still a view, no matter how long its watching. That's why you have timestamps, I'm sure most of the people are just looking for some specific thing they are stuck on, that's mostly the idea behind these. Hardly most of the people go through the whole thing, average view duration of this one is 20mins. Its not like I don't understand, I'm hardly going through longer vids myself, even the far shorter than this one.

Thx for the kind words, I'm glad I could help.
I could not imagine putting myself through this. I've built the MG Unicorn, Banshee, and they are just such massive hand grenades.
The bigger it is the more grenade it is...
Wow this video is done super well, this must’ve taken a WHILE to edit.

Dude sick! I've been looking for a long Gunpla video, I just recently got into them and they look so cool
I like unboxing vids and this is the best one
awesome clip, that helps me through some hard steps, thanks man !!!
Always glad to help.
So cool ☺️
Man, I wished you'd cleaned up those nasty nubs before assembly. Otherwise, great to see how it comes together. Thank you!
I wish I had Gunprimer Riser earlier, but since not I had to improvise....
with how OCD I am when it come to nub marks, seeing you cut the pieces straight off the runner killed me !!! 😱😵💀

The way you built this hurts me.
Fantastic ASMR tho
If this was in a gunpla battle I do instantly forfeit his thing looks gnarly
I guess that's the point. I still remember the string that played when Banager woke up in Unicorn's cockpit and saw the Banshee, lol.
So I wanted to know about something:

Now you have no choice but to give us Unicorn Phenex 03

@@khorneflake5943 Please :( but awsome looking forward to the video if you make one for it.
The transformation is cool but that is painful to watch. If you have shaky fingers, you can break a piece.
It was my first time doing it, some bits are tough to pull, plus insecurity over stripping off waterslides... I never touched it again, its still in the destroy mode.
Important (to me) question. Is it only Riddhe that comes with this kit or is there a Marida pilot figure as well? Fantastic video btw homie
Riddhe. Marida is a part of the expansion set, which is a separate purchase. Timestamped at 01:52:42

Where does the back bits go there not place for them the hell 1:32:29
What back bits exactly?
What In The Michael j fox is this. I must buy
Noticed you used markers to cover up the snub marks. Great effort. How to I get the color codes for the diff colored markers? Mr Hobby markers ?
I'm sure you can google the charts, but usually whatever pack you are buying its noted what colors its having. In this case I was leading myself by the eyes only.

For some reason that piece at part 37:08 would not install as smoothly for me as it did for you and was an absolute pain in the ass.
Yeah, you need to lineup several bits properly before pushing.
Thank you for the Great Video! Sorry for all the questions. Could I please ask where did the female pilot come from? In the same kit? Liked and subbed
Its the expansion pack, you have it timestamped.
@@khorneflake5943 thank you, appreciate it.
31:30 there, when I assemble them is still strong attach to each other, but when I put all parts together especially for installing the LED, I found out that this part can’t attach to each other anymore, is this normal?
Which part exactly? You mean the one on the lower abdomen? Its supposed to be a bit loose, to reveal the psychoframe for the transformation.
Which led kit did you use? I’ve seen a few that light up the backpack as well!
The official one. There's also a piece in the backpack...
@@khorneflake5943one more question, you don’t think putting the stickers on the eyes stops the light from making the eyes glow red?
@@stephencastrosc1 its most likely to prevent having a huge glowing red gap. This way you have defined where the eyes are.
I'm new to gunpla, can you tell me if the LEDs are included or did you buy them from a seperate kit?
They are a separate purchase, around 100 dollars or more.

did you wash your gunpla before assembling?
No. This one wasn't painted, and even then rarely.
because you put decals and topcoat. i thought its necessary
@@sepdioenriquez702 you are going to be sealing it with the top coat anyway. Still can't make myself to turn the washing into the habit.

This was from amiami shop. You can also get it at Hobby Link Japan, I saw it not long ago reissued.
what top coat did u use?
Rust-Oleum Semi-Gloss spray. Its ok, but nowadays I'm using Chalk Varnish matt spray, and its now my preferred option.

i know is too long
