QUOTE(waikin_31 @ Jan 18 2013, 03:13 PM) Wahlao, i cannot afford buy AB for my every MG kit leh...some have to stand some can fly...no backpack one...stand lor...with wing or backpack only think of AB for it... Me neither. I prefer them standing but some are so unstable, I had to use the stand they provided.

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Jan 18 2013, 10:54 AM) i screwed up my MG Destiny extreme blast mode. i tried to apply the flat top coat, then after a while, i see the whole unit turning white (like kena a lot of snow) and the white is not balance. I dont know what to do and panic, tried to wash those white area with thinner. it can come off then i start to become lazy and pour thinner into a pail, and soak the whole gundam it is and take it out. now almost all those plastic joins are breaking off.  . I think i have to buy a new unit because buying parts for all those joins won't be cheap.. actually if not because of the thinner part, even frosting also can be saved. For my case, I once screw up my PG strike freedom's dragoon system, where the frosting appear right after the top coat, da*n the stupid weather was hot for the whole day, and suddenly turn dark at the moment i about to do top coat.  (and le impatient me decided to finish it instead of wait another day) So what i did was: re-spray the color... Use the 200 sand paper slowly sand off the very rough surface, and re-do all the color spray work. so after many days, it was done.

(particular to PG kit, OUTSIDE Japan) yeap, but its still a viable option, u could use the other parts for modding etc..  for people like me who absolutely love their kits, but cant afford an original replacement
