Is there any local store selling cement and craft knife via postage? If I order through AmiAmi, will they get detained? Would be more convenient since I've got stuff shipping from AmiAmi currently. Thanks.

You can try Gwing or Mgs2u for those but about ordering them from amiami might have some problem as liquid substance like cement might not even get through the custom because of safety regulation.

How about craft knife? Can that get through customs?

Sorry but I'm new to mechas, have two valvraves models need to build soon.  sweat.gif So here's what I'm planning to get:
-cutting mat
-craft knife
-File set
-nippers
-sanding sponge
-cement

Will that be sufficient? Planning to trim it as neat as possible, but not paint it. Will I need a marker? If so, which colour would you guys suggest? The models look something like this:

Don't know about craft knife but i do buy some hand drill with bits from Hong Kong and they don't have problem getting through.

That more than enough tool to start with but if you really want to be really clean, you can refer to this:

Personally i just use file and sanding sponge to remove them.

Based on my experience on this Mid-year challenge, There are 2 main category which are Open (15 years old and above) and Junior (14 years old and below) with New Challenger (Only for first timer) on both of them. Your entries must be Bandai model kit and can enter more than one kit (have seen people bring 3 PG) that have not been entered on any other competition.

To enter, must send the Competition entry form with barcode, litt tak logo (cut out from the box) and receipt of purchase from a certain date like this Mid-year Challenge it was between 1 Feb to 24 May. Not sure if GBWC have different set of rules than this tho.

You should be find the logo at the side of the box (Refer the above pic, beside the barcode). Also you don't need to use the same kit for the cut outs as when i entered the contest, i use my Byarlant Custom for the cutouts and receipt but entered the contest with Jesta cannon which went along fine.

Receipt is not that necessary but you need the barcode and litt tak logo as a proof.

Took way too long to finish this darn ship. This is pretty much OOB build with some decal here and there. Some of the details like silver and green are from Sharpie marker (since i lazy to bust out the paints), having "fun" with panel line marathon and sacrifice 2 can of Mr Hobby Topcoat for flat coating.

nice ship. How much is it? i check hlj not selling anymore. Any painting required?
*
I got it for RM350 from a seller that want to let go his collection. This and others like White Base and Musai actually have been discontinued for a long time already.

You don't need painting but some of the pre-painted parts have nubmarks on them so have a marker/ paint to cover those. Also some of the ramp part is just one color so have to paint up those details.
