The reason why the Titanium finish leaves marks because the titanium was a coating. Unlike the normal Ver Ka Unicorn, which was pure white and not as visible to the bare naked eyes after you've cut the nubs.

Hence I'd never buy those special coating/extra finish stuff, if possible. smile.gif

but 1 problem i maybe gonna be facing in the future is... the white parts.. always tend to get oxidize, then will be yellowish...

any tips to make it long lasting white? colgate?
*
*refrain self from saying "try Breeze Colour"...*

How about opting to paint it, if not, how about coating? Not sure if coating would helps as most of my Gundams still in box and they are yet to turn yellow on the white parts.

damn... i already bought the rx78-2 titanium finish and waiting to arrive.. i should have buy the rx78-2 v2.0 and save me RM100+. a bit regretted now sad.gif i guess i should opt for normal version or HD since bro orestes doesn't find problem on obvious mark left on the parts biggrin.gif

btw, bro orestes, u bought 2 unicorns for 2 mode? very nice biggrin.gif

I haven't fully inspect my Unicorn HD yet, but on my previous look on the MG Hi Nu, the injection left quite obvious swirl marks on the plastic. They are pretty obvious and quite bad if you don't paint/sand+coat them.

As compared to my older MG WGZC, the older Gundams has less worse swirlings. I guess so far, Hi Nu was the worst, especially on the grey parts. I was shocked to see them. No wonder everyone paints their Hi Nu. laugh.gif

the KA i bought fully assembled, for a RM50 so i guess it's a steal...  laugh.gif

That's a steal!
For me, assembling Unicorn was the least enjoyable experience compared to all those I've done. (not including HG la... tongue.gif)

hi..... do u all mind to explain what is conversion kit?? i interested with this zeta gundam... need another gundam mold??  http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=8939

It's extra parts, usually cast in resin to complement your existing kit or turn it into something else, hence the word "conversion".

Resin kit, requires a lot of works, such as filing and sanding of the rough edges, paint (it usually is beige-ish colour) them and probably modifications.

Lastly, it's not cheap.

PG OO Raiser for RM799? That's cheap!

That's the price I paid for my PG ARF.

Gamers' Arena haven't stock up MG ARF yet?

Seems like the MG ARF is selling like hot cakes. Last month when I was there, all the shops ran out of RF (even 1/48 RX-78-2) except for Fantasy Toys (LowYat). Did you walked over to check it out too? smile.gif

erm, it shows the part by part nia. Didn't show the backpack also.

Anyway, i know tht RF is awsm. I suppose i'll get it la. Then somehow modify the NG backpack onto it

I'd most likely pose it without the backpack/giant sword. The video shown an incredibly impressive leg articulations and sliding parts. Which prompted me to get it immediately rather than waiting for few batches later. smile.gif

The engineering is just superb.

Is that a full clear parts for all the armor piece?

Existing MG ARF already came with some clear parts because it has the 30th anniversary logo on it.

wanna ask, is the PG 00 raiser a good buy?
or the PG strike ?
yq.

Strike: articulations, inner frame details

Double O: big size, gaya, hi-tech (clutch mechanism)


If for me, I'll only buy Double O if I got nothing else to buy but I wanted to buy a Gundam anyhow.
