anymore of these?

lol I'm starting to think that infested's /b/tard overused word is influencing other ppl
it might be contagious

and I think 'superior' means 'better than'
not sure if you got any sort of comparison though
and if you're refering to the noun of 'superior', it means person of higher rank

It's contagious because /b/tards are the superior kind of homo sapiens to have ever existed, and everyone's jumping on the party van to be as cool as us.

How do I founded meaning of superior? ¯\( ¯A¯)/¯

welcome to the House of Astray Fans

NAY THEE!

All your /b/ are belong to all.

the reason i din bought akat suki yet bcoz this month going to launch another version

i duno wether choose

1/144 HG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam

or

1/144 HG Owashi Akatsuki Gundam

ur guys
think which 1 will b better?

Whichever version that has the "OMG FIN FUNNAL ACTION KEKEKEKE" clear plastic part.

Those things are spiffy. Best idea EVAR on Bandai's part.

Owashi Akatsuki wins it for me. Gotta love the backpack on that one.

Day 2. Another 2 hours gone into the arms.

you not fixing the seam line?

sry, mini bump for my question.

-what did u mean by spraying the primer on the whole surface? its like this; lets say i wanna paint a certain section of a white part blue. i assume primers come in different colors, so does that mean i have to spray the whole part white or just the section (blue)?

-is it possible to just have primer alone? and how many layers of primer do we normally apply?

-and for the paints, i still have no idea wat are enamel and acrylic paints; does the Gundam Marker fall under any of those two?

so now that i have the gundam markers, wat else do i need to start a proper painting?


sorry im kinda new in this modelling stuff. thx a lot for ur help

primer comes in either grey or white if you want the white base coat...
one of main use of primer is to find out any imperfection before you start to paint and also gives the nice even base for the paint to grab on.

if using white primer well you could leave it at that followed with decal, lining, top coat, etc...

enamel and acrylic is just different types of paint. if you like think of permanant marker and white board marker. it really depens on the availability as for me getting Acrylic paint is far easier

I really don't recommand the gundam marker unless you want to do is pre-assembly with lining O_O

i dun recommend using primer...

IF u dun cover the seamlines(gaps) with putty or superglue, and u r using hand-paint method.

No. I'm happy with the way it is. Really serious modelling is not the way to go for me. I'm just happy with panel lining. For now, at least.

When the time comes, I'll be sure to ask all you guys here for help and tips.

Hi guys,

Just started gundam modelling after making plane models for so long..
Went to Lowyat today, planning on getting a HG 1/144 Palance Athene which was going for RM65, but found an MG 1/100 RX-78GP01 for RM80, so I took that one instead.. was this a better deal? Any place besides Lowyat that you guys recommend for getting cheap models?

Get from young_soul! His buddy's in Japan right now, so you'll be able to get kits for cheap!

The old MG kits are made of lose and suck. I bet ver.2 of them would come out in another few years.

And you're generic for prefering generic Gundams than a truly uniquely designed MS.

well, some of the lines, especially around the waist still look quite thick... use an eraser to gently go over the lines as to rub the excess ink off... It'd make your lines look thinner.

Waiting for your completed kit


Well... RM 80 for an MG is a very good price, even though it might be an old MG kit. And I feel that the GP01 is a better looking model than the Athene, and of course, different people have different preferences...

Btw hzr77, where did you get the GP01? RM 80 for an MG... good deal... Too bad I'm kinda broke now.... gotta save up for a next model.

O rly?

Amazon used to sell loads of old MG kits for USD$5 each. I recall someone reporting it happening quite recently too (forgot the site, some blogspot account, by a guy who frequently posts on dannychoo.com), whom bought 6 of them in one go o_O

amazon... not everyone buys from them and you have to consider the shipping costs when you buy online. you can get low prices from other online sites but add in the shipping fees and the price shoots up... RM 80 for a MG in Lowyat plaza is considered cheap... and Lowyat's prices are often RM10-20 more expensive than say Sg Wang, or even aunty lenny's shop... higher rental perhaps?

but one thing's for sure... those pieces of plastic are definitely overpriced... hell they're just plastic, and yet we willingly pay them for our own satisfaction.
