How do you display models without glass cabinet? They tend to attracts dust. Any ways to reduce this?

Hmmm, theoretically unavoidable...but if the room you put it in has less fabric, less curtain, less drapes, no bed and your fan is clean...it should be considerably less

The option is spring clean your models once in a while....but the best is still...

Though this is posted in the wrong thread, i'll just answer it for u since its straightforward.

With exception to certain brand, in general avoid using spray paint u buy from hardware shop. Those paint r meant to be apply on harder surfaces like wood, metal, etc, even if it stated plastic its generally for harder plastic type (lego for example). Gunpla plastic is just too soft, the chemical in some of those type of paint is just too strong and could damage (melt) gunpla plastic.

Note that i said with exception to certain brand. The only other brand of paint that will work that i know of is Krylon and the only places i could find them is in Ace Hardware, regular hardware shop may not hav em. If u do insist on trying out different brand of paint, pls spray it on the runners 1st n c how it turn out.

I don't know about melting. I used Anchor and Pylox brand without problems.
Just need to use the right technique.

no worries
I'm using the Anchor and Samurai paint spray
the paint wont melt the plastic because it is technically same lacquer solution with hobby paint(Mr.Hobby,Gaia Color)
but it quite smelly(it will gone in 2-3 days though)

other cincai china paint brand I no dare to use..
scare the paint will crack and tear away even after apply primer

You can also try this trick. No painting needed.

That kind of paint is risky, due to how thick it applies on. If you're new, avoid it.

difficulty of building can be subjective, but if for transformation, I bet whole world agrees MG Ex-S is the hardest tongue.gif

looks like RG Destiny has slim chance of having wing effect parts, as the price is the standard RG 2500yen
unless maybe special gift like RG freedom's beam effect parts
