you have to call the owner, otherwise it will be locked.. that's why AF Hobby not exactly a good store for walk-ins.. but he does display his items.. no price tag though so you either read up on the prices on the website.. or you can ask him, which i prefer not to, as he look like he might get annoyed if you ask too much and not buy anything after

i don't see his forum update since last year... or he changed his website/ forum url?

you're welcome.. remember to note down the owner, Alfie's, phone number so you can contact him when you are there
i also went there the first time, thought it was gone, then i went to the cyber cafe next door, checked their web and saw it was still operational but i don't know where it was

personal opinion on RG skygrasper...the sword strike pack, got one part that mount on strike arm one...that one mount on skygrasper is really very very easy to drop.... it is very easy to drop more than zaku ii skirt.

really? i never noticed because i mounted everything on the Strike.. it looks great there so nothing is on the Skygrasper

also i find it very amusing that the person on the forums selling MG SF Extra Finish hasn't sold it still laugh.gif since the previous Litt Tak sales.. first he was selling 300, then 280, now 250 still seems no one is buying brows.gif sweet sweet justice.. although i wonder if he comes to this thread too

yes. well, in the hands of a skilled person, spray paints can be as nice or nicer than AB.. but under the same hands, Ab will give you a smoother finish due to the consistent spray pressure.

1. Spray paint comes in a can, so its pressure is not constant. As the can run out, so will the pressure thus it will gives you an uneven finish.
2. Spray paint is highly dependent on temperature and humidity, the hotter and drier it is the better it'll spray.
3. Spray paint is a bit wasteful since the first burst of spray is always too much so we always have to start away from the targeted parts to avoid overflowing.

If you are making a comparison, then im guessing that u are getting into painting ur kits and wanting to know its pro and cons before making a commitment on which path to take. If so i'll highly recommend ppl to invest in an air brush set cuz in the long run, its actually cheaper.
