Unicorn episode 7 was awesome, started good and ended well with my expectiation, I especially love the Galluss vs Jegan battle sequence, very well animated, and glad to see grunt units shines/kick ass. no matter how many time i re-watch sequence, it still so damn cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUVDvW7YP1c
So happen is my colleagues gave me a HG Galluss for my birthday, and since I am already running out of time completing my MG unicorn (since 2012) I decided to do a practice build for 2014 Year end Gunpla competition.
After 2 months HG Jegan VS Galluss diorama build was completed just in time for competition but did not won anything, but I did won some experiences on my own on Weathering and LED installment. Also my first attempt on creating explosion effects on a diorama, It's a shame that I am unable to find a strong enough LED to illuminate out the explosion effects, even the snapping the photos was hard enough to capture effects properly. It's really a shame.
The MS build was pretty straight forward, no fancy detailing but focus on wiring LED on the eyes, it was my second attempt on electronic wiring, leveled up for electronic skills, but still need more practice in the future. It's a pitty Bandai did not release the Ecoas Jegan commander unit so I have to scratched build the pistol, dagger knife, hand mount beam saber and grenade pack for the Jegan. Sorry that I did not have any WIP documanted as I was in a hurry to for the build, other word, lazy to snap shot picture. Weathering was as also fun as the entire weathering on the body was hand painted, kinda doing painting on a 3D canvas. This will be extremely important experience for some of my future build.
Thats all for now, now move on to other things.

Having recently become interested in Gunpla, I, too, would like to know how you did the explosion effect, unless it's some sort of trade secret. ;)
It looks like egg whites that have been whipped into stiff peaks then somehow solidified, perhaps with several layers of fixative or hair spray. Am I close? :)
