[WIP] RG Unicorn LED mod WIP1

Been a while since I did a WIP post. So here's one.

So the RG Unicorn that I ordered finally came 2 weeks ago. And I was actually saving this until after a local group event I was co-organizing. I should have tucked it away instead of keeping it on top of my workbench but the excitement got the best of me, hence this WIP post.

I wanted to finish it in time for the event so I decided not to paint it. I lost most, of my "preview" pics but most of the armor pieces are under-gated. So I'm expecting a lot ov variation of this kit to be released some time in the future.

Since this will be the first time I'll be building this, I decided to do the LED mods as I build the kit.

Following the manual, I started working on the feet. As soon as I started working on this kit, the build process felt familiar. It's as if I'm building an MG Unicorn kit. Of course there are some design variations but the basic build process is almost the same.

Even the legs' build process closely resembles the MG version. Mod wise, the leg area has plenty of space to accommodate the wiring. Unfortunately, there isn't enough space to keep the transformation gimmick. Either I keep it in Unicorn mode or NT-D mode. I decided to display this in its NT-D mode. 

 One of the hardest section of the kit was the upper thigh area where the psychoframe wraps around the thigh area. I had to use 4 LEDs there, one on each side for proper illumination.

Next up was the waist area. Pretty straightforward here. I'm utilizing the areas designed for the transformation gimmick as much as I can to help hide the wiring. Again plenty of space around these parts to work through the wiring.

I guess I'll stop here for now to give myself some rest. Considering this has a 2 week build deadline, I can say that I'm quite on schedule with the current status of the kit. Not bad for working 2-3 hours on this kit per day.
