for SAL registered, yes. But SAL Parcel, the price is very close to EMS.

Just stick with these 2 options, SAP Reg, or EMS. Forget about the rest.

Dude!?! You smell artline's whiteboard markers???

Ewww....

You should buy yourself some Gundam paint markers.

I think RG RX-78 got 2 pairs of eyes stickers as well, if I remembered correctly.

Hello Kitty Strike strikes back.

Good morning peeps.

Managed to shave up my MG ARF's right leg yesterday. Left weapon and stands before I can touch up the nub marks are by sanding them.

In the meantime, let's look at something that doesn't need any work be done on it. Just prepping the red demon to be go into the shelf, sharing same level with Nu.

I think he did a clear coat on it cause mine is not so glossy by default.

Sazabi has more parts that you can take off compared to Nu, meaning more internal details can be seen. But overall with armor on, I find Nu to be prettier. I think the proportion a bit out. Why Sazabi looks so small here, I mean in term of the head's size.

There are only 3 Formania line of products so far, unfortunately Sinanju was not 1 of them.

Added on May 3, 2011, 11:06 amYup, there are 6 independent funnels, and you can open the funnel's fins (4 of them each), then the thruster in each funnel can rocks back and forth within its casing. The details were awesome.

Oh ya, that little machinery at the back, the 3 arms are articulated too.

Added on May 3, 2011, 11:06 amGuess how much I got it for?

Yup, the other Formania is this. Dunno whether Laputa = Nausicaa or not, never really watched them. But this one is nice, wanted to get, but... it is totally not related.

Now would have been cheaper even, cause I transacted in USD last time.

Added on May 3, 2011, 12:12 pmThe only cheapest way you can get it is, get someone to fetch it back from Japan for you.

I would say, the paint quality is better than GFF. As the previous few older GFF I have seen, they were hand painted. While Formania, the outer armour pieces were airbrush painted, while smaller areas are hand painted.

In term of assembly, they were pretty... straightforward. I would not consider them as assembly at all.

But Formania is all about details, details... and details. Even PG can't come close to it. Oh ya, I read somewhere, Formania Nu was 1/60th scale, so I guess it is the same for Sazabi as well? But the sheer amount of details on the inner part...

On a side note, there was no visible cockpit for Sazabi.

I think these phoi-tos are better than those that I could snap.

Oh, here's the cockpit. lol, I missed mine, never checked it, cause this is my first and only mono-eye.

Used to see some Formania RX-93 in Graffiti Toys. But never seen any Sazabi though.

Bandai is really pandai. Despite releasing the PG 00 Raiser first, now the market's expectation of MG 00 Raiser is quite high, as I seen from you all.

Interesting, not the kit, but the demand.

^ not everyone can DIY paint nice nice mer...

Really admire the spirits you all have. Can buy buy buy and build build build. I took so long to build one, and few more still pending. I guess I can consider lucky, cause I don't buy because of hand itchy have to buy the kind.

Everyone with the spirit la.

Wait, were you hand itchy the kind?

This post has been edited by Harddisk: May 3 2011, 09:27 PM

Yeah, don't be like a friend of mine. Buy buy buy so many HG, cheap cheap cheap, warehouse sales, RM20-RM50 for 1 1/60th scale. Some even limited edition never seen before the kind. But he was proud la.

So now, dunno how many boxes un-built. Then I go poison him to just build MG onward, cause HG very sien one. He kena already. Then ngam ngam that time RG came out, I poison him again, he bought. Now no time to build.

Then poison him RG Strike, he said gotta put on shopping list already, whereby his last MG kit that just finished was Wing ver Ka. Gonna psycho him to get a ABF/ARF.

Don't so bad la. I only recommend those kit that I vouch for. Something that during/after building, he will says, "Good! Very good kit indeed."

Like this only he will listen to my advice ma, next time.

I got ask him to look into v2.0 kits also... whereby myself don't have any. lol.

Maybe in the long future, MkII AEUG la, but that future, still not visible to me. I think by the time, v3.0 also out already.

can fight with my friend.

Mine not many, lemme see...

These in proress:
MG ARF - in progress
MF Ozma - panel line wash + decal
D-style Ingram - panel line
MG Unicorn ver Ka - panel line + decal
Regult - cut, trimmed, sanded. A lot of cementing to do, chucked 1 side. Definitely need painting.
PG Aile - panel line + decal

These still long way to go:
PG Eva - cut, trimmed, sanded, surface sanded
PG Wing - cut, trimmed, sanded
MG Hi Nu - cut and packed
PG MkII - cut and packed
MF Brera - untouched
MG Unicorn+Cage - untouched
PG ARF - untouched
PG Strike - untouched

These wanna fix:
HG WGZC - fix limping joints
HG Eva01 - fix joints, wanna cement and sand seem lines

I think that's about it. 50 yo also can't finish. Tempted to buy Enterprise-E 1/1400 kit some more. This one definitely need painting and a lot of modding such as lighting up the warp nacelles. Pengsan if I really buy, so put on hold.

See? No HG kits.

Most potong steam stuff, no airbrush kit. Got big vision, but cannot kickstart.
