sousuke, drift.
the head itself got 5 parts. so masking is very minimal, most of the part is separated well enough. it feel like snap-fitting a plastic kit actually. of coz need glue.

it is rock hard n solid feel, but very easy to saw, drill and sand.

Cool~!!! Can't wait to see it. drool.gif

But even i promote it, I doubt there will be many potential buyer from here. consider the price and u need a MG Freedom also. Best bet is wait for MG release.

erm, i want to ask a question. Why is it in the picture at the box and manual for BB gundam model blaze zaku phantom iclude the stand? But there's actually no stand comes with this model..  unsure.gif
i think it mean the Stand is sold separately. and the Stand is come with SD Force Impulse Gundam only. whistling.gif

here to solve all the myth about topcoat and super-clear. ppl who know chinese should know it by now by looking at the picutre below.

on left is TopCoat, it is water-base. Won't harm decal.

on right is Mr Super Clear, this got much better "proctection" then TopCoat. Coz this is lacquer base. But it will dillute water base paint and decal.

each type is categorized in Flat, Semi-Gloss and Gloss.

so water-based paints will mix with the decal, but does it apply to lacquer paints?
and do you mean the dry-transfer ones or water slide decals?
*
if so, then the lacquer paint of coz won't be harm. but the decal still have the risk being destroy/melt regardless of base paint, if u use Mr Super Clear. just that water-based paint will make it worse.

but, so far, I found np with Mr Super Clear coat over water slide decal and sticker type. only dry transfer got melting problem if overspray.

dj898,
nice shading effect, dude~~!! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Quote from Gunota:

According to Plamoya-san's Useless Diary, following are rumors of future Gunpla releases after June.
Below are considered somewhat reliable:
HGUC Zudah (from MS IGLOO)
HGUC Zaku I (color variation)
MG Gundam F91

These are rumors:
HGUC Nu Gundam
HGUC ZZ Gundam
MG Guntank

Again take this with grain of salt.
