Unfortunately, Imgur doesn't want to actually upload photos from my phone anymore for some reason, and I haven't looked for another host yet.

EDIT: Huh. Okay, so this time it decided to upload the same pic twice instead, but it only shows up when I select All posts, not Hidden or Public. This app keeps getting more annoying.

Anyway.



My last build, the Master-grade Sinanju from Gundam Unicorn. I knew it was a bigger mech, but I didn't realize it was quite that big next to a more standard-sized suit like the GM Turbulence. Unfortunately, my gold paint marker started giving out halfway through the detailing on the trim. You can see a few spots, most obviously on the cuffs and shield, where I have some touching up to do once I pick up another marker.

The biggest downside in the build is the older style of hands. They have a tab in the palm that goes into a slot on the weapon to hold on, but it's not very sturdy, especially with a large weapon like that rifle. And the tab is infamous for wearing out over time, so eventually it'll have no grip at all. I really prefer the pre-posed molded hands used on more modern kits, they're a little less expressive but much more reliable. Still a pretty regal-looking suit, though. Even has a neat gimmick in the head, turning the neck causes the mono-eye to track back and forth, although the visor is so narrow that it's easy to miss.
