Making the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam RG video was a long but meaningful journey for me. So much so, that I felt it was important that I give justice to this build and the significance of this particular mobile suit.

It was actually back in 2019 when I got my hands on this Full Armor kit. The same friend who lent me his Zoids Liger Zero HMM also lent me this one. When I got it from him, I immediately knew, from the mass of the box alone, that I had to get better at building first before taking this on. And so it waited in my room for almost a year, until I finally felt ready to build it.

Then something happened along the way.

Last August, when plans for the Unicorn were still being made, the country lost one of its beloved content creators, Emman Nimedez. Admittedly, I have only gotten to watch some of his works. But from those alone, it’s quite obvious how much thought, effort, and passion he has put into his creations. Indeed, Emman was the kind of artist we all should strive to be.

A few days after his passing, a friend told me something quite surprising and truly touched my heart. In his last weeks here with us, Emman got to experience the joy of the hobby which we all love and cherish, by building a Gunpla himself. And in his exploration of this newfound interest, he eventually stumbled upon our Nu Gundam build and was generous enough to share it with his community.

I’ll always be grateful for his gesture. And for the Nu Gundam video to have been part of his journey as a builder, it will never cease to be an honor. With that, I felt it was only right to honor him back. And so, it was decided that its sequel, the Unicorn Gundam video, was to be dedicated to him.

From then on, it was not enough for this video to just be good or satisfying. It has to stand for something. It has to have a point, a meaning. But what is the meaning of the Gundam? What does the Unicorn Gundam stand for?

I went back to its roots and watched the main Universal Century series, from Amuro to Kamille, from Judau, and finally to Banagher Links. I, unfortunately, did it too successively to absorb everything, but suffice it to say, watching them provided the answer I was looking for.

That one scene–that one culminating event of everything:

At the turn of the century, the Unicorn Gundam, as The Beast of Possibility, did its ultimate act by standing, literally, in the way of destruction. That's the point. That's what it stands for, and I felt I needed to reflect that on the resolution of our build, so I tried. Only you, dear viewers, could determine whether I succeeded in that endeavor.

As with every one of you, I could never thank Emman enough, so I hope this video will do. I hope he can watch this wherever he is, and may he build the most perfect grades of Gunplas up there.

And for the rest of us down here, let us strive to build our possibility.

Hi guys! Check out instagram.com/giosanpedro for a lot of closeup photos as well as behind-the-scene tidbits about the build! Oh, and best to read the description above to learn the story behind the ending. 🙂 Thanks so much for the support and patience for all these months guys! I hope this video was worth the wait for you. See you on the next one mates!

[SentaiGuy]

This is probably the single most satisfying video I have ever seen

[Shinjirokun]

Me: This is.... Maybe I...
My fingers: Don't even think about it...
My wallet:

[breadzack]

5 months of work?!! To make an 11 minutes video?!! I salute to you. Ngl this is the most satisfying video I've seen. If there's a full unedited video, I'd still watch it

[Roarchop]

Massive respect for recording 70 hours of 4k footage and sacrificing entire terabytes of storage for a single 10 minute video

[haydenblanchard]

i swear to jesus this dude is making beats. he’s keeping a rhythm

[KarabinerKarabinerKarabiner]

Alien movie in 1987:
*needs blaster noises*

That one guy on set: 8:37

[theguy]

It's here boys, the long awaited, most anticipated asmr gunpla build! Now, let us enjoy this experience.

[jayd]

8:19

My jaw hit the floor so hard at the sheer audacity to use such brilliant editing that it caused my YouTube to rewind back to 8:19 because my ears and brain could not believe it at first.

Fantastic work.

Oh and great build, btw

[boltoms]

You are a master of your craft. Never before have I ever seen anyone so good at editing before.








No. This. This is ART!!

[christiancatinguil]

Oh my god the amount of hours spent on building, filming, and editing a single video.

[cyprusian]

"is gunpla an instrument?"
"no patrick gunpla is not an instrument"

[benmichaeldeleon]

I dont care how long you've assembled gunpla models. Fast forward, rewinds, or any edits. Just see how its done and appreciate the beauty of effort and hardwork to assemble gunpla models. Amazing

[QuanLeTravel]

I can hear Cancan and William Tell Oventure: Finale when he assemble the kit. Really nice touch for the vid, Sir!

[Luigi]

After reading the description and watching everything to the end, I feel that this build was not only a fine piece of work that you have done but a dedicated one to Emman. The Beast of Possibility was such a great choice to represent their work and I cannot express more than a round of applause. Well done, good sir! #BuildGunpla

[lazito]

The massive amount of editing effort that you even put William Tell Overture at 8:18 and many more is astounding.

[ling]

Really appreciate this guy turned 5 months of painful building and filming and editing into a video that is only 11 minutes long

[AvoidingKini]

I love how every part has a distinct beat to it, and is so satisfying to listen to.

[jmpilapilmakesstuffs]

I was like “oh man it would be funny if that cup of noodles turned into actually noodles.” And you did it lol

[mango]

This channel is criminally unknown and talked about, I don't think I've ever seen such amazing levels of care put into the presentation of a build video. It's so satisfying to watch and this is already one of my favourite channels
