Titanium Finish won't look nice if you want to place decals.

I thought of this too tongue.gif  hmm.. thinking buying titanium ver to match my sinanju titanium ver  drool.gif

I don't know why Sinanju's called Titanium Finish. It's just metallic coating. It should be called Coating Version, like the rest. rolleyes.gif

Price is slightly above average, but i wouldn't say Gogg is a good kit. But if it's your taste, go ahead and pick it up. wink.gif

where to get tamiya/mr hobby aqueous acrylics actually ah?
*

You might wanna give the brand Pelikan a try, although it's slightly glossy. It washes off easily with water.

There are several types (some are for fabric, some for handicrafts, some for plastic/glass surfaces) so be sure you get the right type.



QUOTE(aezsky @ Mar 17 2011, 07:39 PM)
So,my questions are ;

1)Is it a wise choice to get PG SF instead of PG 00R??

2)Which one is better in your opinion??Any drawbacks of any of the model kits??

3)What is the market price for a PG 00R + 2-Way Stand nowadays??How about the Clear Parts??
*

1) Personally, no.
2) Judging from MG 00R's pictures, the PG holds an advantage in the looks department. The same can't be said for PG SF when compared to its MG. Articulation-wise, PG 00R is better due to its design. Both also suffers from back-heavy issues, but PG SF is the one that breaks often.
3) With stand is around RM780~850. Clear parts alone around RM180~200.

PG 00R's clear parts are kinda useless unless you are a modeller. Bandai already gave its warning:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

My suggestion: keep the PG 00R and its stand, sell off the clear parts. PG looks better than MG 00R, and even if you don't feel like picking up the MG too, just wait for MG 007S. wink.gif



QUOTE(Agito666 @ Mar 17 2011, 08:48 PM)
now also wonder the strike RG will be easily break since i got NG/ TV grade 1/100 Aile Strike before, the aile backpack got 1 joint and if pull and push in the body for sometimes it will snap. sad.gif
*

So was PG Aile Strike's. It should be able to withstand the weight without a problem. You should be more worried about the Gundam leaning to the back by itself.


QUOTE(General_Nic @ Mar 17 2011, 09:14 PM)
Wanna ask, if jz want to apply a flat topcoat, shud spray b4 or after assembling?
*

Wrong section to ask, but you could do it either way or both ways. If before, make sure you remove them from the runners first.

oh yea, ive seen pelikan before. you sure its good?
*

I wouldn't say it's good or not.

It washes off easily with water, it doesn't fade, easy to use, got lotsa colors to choose from. Only thing is, it's slightly glossier than your usual paint. I use it to paint thin lines (like Sinanju's emblem), for panel lining, and on small die-cast cars. I've never used it to paint huge areas because i don't like my kits to look "wet", although i really love that extra shine on my die-cast cars. Like i said, give one small bottle a try. You might like it or you won't.

But honestly, i like how you can put pictures in the frame. Or maybe fit in a mirror. Or a clear panel with LEDs on the corners. hmm.gif

Should be able to but it seems a bit too short for 1/100 scale.

In case anyone's wondering, it's priced like SD, slightly shorter than a regular 1/144 Gundam, and no pliers needed for assembly (pluck & assemble).

Hi..guy..want to check here..
I just have my own sinanju..,I  already spray this kits with Sparking Red (Arrow Brand Aerosol Spray )...Now I want to know which step should I continue 1st..
> Apply Water Decal and then spray with another layer of Mr Super Clear Gloss
or
>Spray another layer of Mr Super Clear Gloss then baru apply water decal.

I am quite confuse here..coz I never use those clear coating b4..
I read some article and saying that those clear coating can melt the decal sad.gif...need your guys advice...thanks smile.gif
*

Decals stick better on glossy smooth surface.

If your painted kit is smooth enough, you can straight apply waterslide decals, followed by your layers of topcoat. If your painted kit is not smooth enough, reverse the process, and finish with another layer of topcoat.

Topcoats don't melt waterslide decals. Only decal solvents (like Mr. Mark Softener) and decal setters (like Solvaset) do.


P.S: I really appreciate the mod who keeps moving posts like this to the correct thread. notworthy.gif

QUOTE(Harddisk @ Mar 21 2011, 01:12 AM)
From the diagram, it seems the peg on the dragon fang was meant for right arm only. How to swap?
*

The peg is part of the dragon fang, and both the forearms have the holes to fit it in. It is the same shape as (part F5) used for the shield, so it's swappable.

The upcoming Altron EW (Nataku) will have two dragon fangs. It doesn't make sense if the dragon fang can only be used on the right arm, since both these Gundams are essentially the same. rolleyes.gif

There were holes on both forearms. Unfortunately, F4 isn't a peg. The peg on dragon fang was G19.

So they were not swappable. In fact, they don't even looked the same.

Bro, bro, bro... why are you trying to confuse me? And why are you looking at part F4 when i said F5? tongue.gif

My bad, lost in translation while I was checking the rest of the diagrams.

Anyway, peg on F5 and G19 (no mistakes this time) are not interchangeable. So I still don't think dragon fang can be fitted on the left arm. smile.gif

Let's rest the case for a while... at least until someone gets a hold of that kit. All that manual staring is driving me nuts. rclxub.gif

HGUC please bandai...

Given its similarity in size to the Kshatriya, maybe 4000-4500 yen would suffice, but since it's a massive Char kit, I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 5000 yen. Anything more would be ridiculous.

Most likely a skip for me, at least until Bandai releases a proper MG Wing Zero TV. laugh.gif
