Unicorn Gundam: Beam Gatling 2

I believe that this is quite close, but not quite the cigar. Probably a bit more line detail here and there to finish it up, and then get things rotated and in their place.

Unicorn Gundam: Gatling 1

Out of nowhere... Not much time to start on the Impulse's waist -- so I figured a diversion would suffice. Goodnight.

Unicorn Gundam: Destroy Mode

It kinda works. I forgot to shift the inner leg armor so that it pops out of the front section of the knee guard assembly. But for the most part it isn't an eyesore. I probably won't move this to the finished section until I get the hand held machine gun in there. Still have problems in the lower leg. I thought I had shifted the leg cuffs downward enough. Ah, well.

Unicorn Gundam: Leg 2

Took quite a while to rig the legs and feet. Had some trouble with how to to about parenting some of the parts so the transformation could be done with little work as possible afterwards. Anyway, I would say that they're "done" since the construction is generally complete, but there's always something small that I forgot here and there especially in the leg rig since it's a bit off.

Unicorn Gundam: Shield 2

Works out ok so far. Got to get some last minute detail in the back section of the sliding armor, but no biggie thus far.

Unicorn Gundam: Shield 1

Way too much to do now as "busy season" has finally hit. It'll probably be slow going from now on. :( Anywho, the good old shield started off as I expected.

Unicorn Gundam: Beam Rifle 2

I just love how this thing looks when its finished.... though still a ways to go. Some parts are just plain ugly looking right now so back to straightening some lines and smoothing some parts over.

Unicorn Gundam: Beam Rifle 1

Got a headache so not doing the leg now. I thought maybe the gun would be a bit easier on my head. Might be that I stare at screens too much during the day.

Unicorn Gundam: Leg 1

Figured I'd show a bit of leg. Love the details that Katoki put on this thing. On the down side, the design doesn't allow for some of the articulation that other machines have so I'll probably fix that before the end. Still struttin' along.

Unicorn Gundam: Bazooka

Skipped the legs for now and went for one of the weapons. Almost there. A section under the gun barrel and some bump maps should finish it off.

Unicorn Gundam: Arms 2-b

I didn't clear the transformation correctly, but it's still not that bad. The shoulder definitely needs a bit more work to get it to look right, and then shift correctly.

Unicorn Gundam: Arms 2

Ugh, the waist still has parts that I've forgotten to take care of. The arm is coming along fairly well though so far.

Unicorn Gundam: Arms 1

FINALLY getting around to the arms! Not much as far as transforming goes on the lower section.

Unicorn Gundam: Waist 2

The waist isn't all that bad. Still don't have a few of the notches and grooves that Katoki designed into it but they'll get there by the end.

Unicorn Gundam: Waist 1

Toughing it out through the waist. Amazed at the detail that the machine has, especially in that it transform and looks even crazier.

Unicorn Gundam: Backpack 2

Don't have the rig quite right yet. I goofed in a couple of places, but at least the basics are there. Have to delve back into the frame of the body to put in some more detail touches.

Unicorn Gundam: Backpack 1

Pace is slow. I'm having difficulty keeping focus with so much other stuff going on. Thinking about another round of skiing....

Unicorn Gundam: Body 2

Not even close to done. I haven't finished the inner parts of the body yet and only the head and neck portion are rigged. The rest is just "sitting there". Hard to find time to delve into it nowadays.

Unicorn Gundam: Body 1

I'm not surprised that the body is difficult -- it's actually kind of fun on the Unicorn. So many nooks and crannies. Weee! Anywho, started!

Unicorn Gundam: Head 2

Alright, so the head is rigged enough. I stepped away from what seems to be "flip-top"-ish design in the transformation and went straight for the face sliding out and the face mask sliding back. Not too bad -- somewhat close to done.
