First time in my life that I get the chance to #customize such an expensive #gunpla, the #MGEX #Unicorn #Gundam. This build itself is kinda like the redemption build of what I did almost a year ago, the RG Unicorn Gundam itself. I spent in total of 400+ hours in the span of 21 days, averaging about 19 hours a day. Don't forget to watch till the end for the bonus content. ;)
I hope you guys like it!
Don't forget to comment on what do you think of this build, and also don't forget to subscribe and also like the video! :)

The thumbnail almost deceived me. The paintjob effects you did is surprisingly good for the unicorn gundam. You just made another masterpiece, and the year's just started!!

[@lanckston]

Man, the design of the unicorn REALLY lends itself to scribing. Also, those absolutely microscopic glued on details? Astonishing. I absolutely adore the color scheme for this, red and white is a great combination. That Carbon fiber-esque detailing is beautiful as well. If someone asked me what my favorite part of this build was, I couldn't say. Maybe it's the tiny details. Maybe it's the scribing. Maybe it's the fact that you filmed, edited, and uploaded it for us all to see. Also, the fact that you took it apart and rebuilt it just for those dropping shots really, to me, shows the dedication to not only making a fantastic build, but presenting it in an awesome style as well. You are absolutely killing it, dude. Much love.

I want to tell the whole freaking world, that THIS man is a man of PASSION🔥. No matter hardships he went through, minor or major, he never EVER hesitated to never GIVE UP. No matter how FUSTRATING errors entered the process, he NEVER hesitated to never QUIT #NeverStopBuilding !!!!

[@Zipbomb-v2f]

Yes !!! 19 hours a day is truly impressive if not astounding! I'm kinda nitpicking rn, but allow me to correct a grammar mistake of yours as it could potentially cause a misunderstanding 😂. 'never hesitate to quit' means 'to quit' ; 'Never hesitate' means 'to not have doubts to', so 'never hesitate to quit' means 'to never have the doubt/hesitation of quitting', which means to just quit. 🤔 I may be wrong too, and sorry if I explained it in a wierd way hehe

This was so great to watch. I just got into the hobby on Christmas with the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka, you're an inspiration to me to begin trying to get into more detailed work with it. I love how it looks now but from watching your vids, I see there's so much more I could do with it. Thanks again for the content and #neverstopbuilding.

[@mr.fingerwithasmileyface3584]

I don't know whats more impressive The customization Or The your heavy balls for customizing this expensive kit

[@samtoshner8002]

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the captions you've added. They really add so much knowledge with just a short bit of info, not even a full sentence really, but so so effective at communicating what's going on, specially for a noob like me who would just be lost otherwise. Thank you!

[@Wyrmsfire]

Brilliant! Unicorn is my absolute favorite kits to build. I'm usually fine with a straight out of the box build. You've taken one of the most beautiful kits and made it your own, while keeping it simple. I love it. Oh, and G City?! If that isn't a real place, it should be! Can't wait for more. Well done.

[@ineon_playz9964]

Making a already super detailed kit more detailed. Truly, you are the master of gunpla.

[@JettoHobby]

My jaw just dropped to the floor.... Just goes to show how Studio G can achieve anything! What a build man seriously!!! That's one of the best Unicorn I've ever seen, can't wait for part 2!!!

[@migueldiaz3262]

As a builder and customizer, not just on the basics at that; this was phenomenal. I am honestly speechless, but that this same emotion must be expressed. Bravo on your work Studio G. Realistically, the diorama is just photogenic aspect of "the cherry on top", the build you chose to tackle is by no means a beginner build; and knowing that the UG doesn't come with good panel lining, I have to say that you took this build to a grade that is not even on the charts. This video should be your proclamation of masterful technicality; no skill that you used on this video was below what could be considered "expert". You need to join competitions, maybe it's not your thing, but in the world of Gunpla, I believe that your name should be known.

[@kwabertnguyen2227]

You did it! Funny story, when I first started, instead of watching vids for recommend kits I straight up decided to choose the Zeta gundam as my first gundam

[@eldrasgames5008]

Hopefully not the the rg😬

[@Silvio_Nightwind]

Your skill knows no bounds my friend! You've become an inspiration to me as a Gunpla builder myself. The little steps I've taken outside of my comfort zone, like decaling and panel lining and scribing were only possible because of watching your videos and respective tutorials and telling myself "Hey, don't worry about mistakes. Those are ok, we can learn from them." Have a good 2021 man, and I look forward to all the future builds

[@haothecombatbutler4310]

Take care for your health sir , 19 hour per day is not something ordinary

who else wants to buy this guy a resin 3D printer to see what madness this man could create? like seriously it would be pure madness! design the extra panels to only need a general reshaping and they come out almost perfect right off the machine. Just will need a run though a either ultra sonic cleaning or a cleaning unit.
