that is not my main point coz my gf is supportive.
main point is, we have a very less selection in our country sad.gif (eg. One piece ship - korea got 6 model where m'sia 3 only....)

WILL buying gundam from korea/jpn kena import tax in a large quantity? eg more than 5 box? = 1 cabin bag whistling.gif
eg. KRW 33k - (8% x 33k) = 30,360 @ 0.00284 = RM 86.23

**Note : this is juz d minimum amount. what if you bought like KRW 300-500k which will get the highest bracket of tax refund  brows.gif it will be significantly cheaper than from getting in m'sia (except don't count that luggage weight coz it aint heavy but boxes consume more storage space....
*
It only cheaper if you go travel at the country.
If purposely go there to buy won't be cheap unless work in Airliners and get free flight tickets. oh yeah... I still waiting reply for my interview, hahaha...

learn a lot...so use handbrush is better go for tamiya..i will try this

Well, is handbrush use enamel... Other brand also can.

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Jul 26 2013, 07:46 PM)
since the MG is a very old kit(almost 10 years old), the only thing it excels over RG is the size/scale
in terms of details, parts separation, hands, the RG wins hands down
my gf support my gunpla hobby, but nearly killed me when I bought PVC girl figures  sweat.gif

Full Burnern shud be taller than Zephyranthes since it's wearing 'platform shoes'

Haha... you buy 18+ one is it? LOL tongue.gif

QUOTE(steph13 @ Jul 26 2013, 08:47 PM)
sorry ar. but is there a alternative acrylic paint available other than Tamiya? Tamiya it's abit costly.
*
There are a lot of acrylic paint, but remember acrylic suitable for airbrush.
You may use Acrylic Vallejo, or Mr.Color. But for me, these paint bottle actually quite cheap.

It look damn awesome but sad thing is those American damn hate this design, they want the TV Ver instead of this lol. Screw all Katoki haters, it is time to move forward, forget your old school design.

I know it wasn't your intention, but i'm from North America so please don't put me in the same boat as the whiners.

Now, I love the TV Wing Zero more than almost anyone, but even I can appreciate an updated look. Yeah, they've updated it so it fits in the Endless Waltz storyline better, but the fact is that this is still TV Wing Zero. I find it hilarious how many people on the internet are whining and saying that they're just gonna wait for the "true" TV Wing Zero MG to come out, cause unless it's a 100% copy of Okawara's lineart it's not good enough.
*
Not trying to offend anyone just I should say majority, sorry if I offended you haha... And yeah, they want 100% copy of Okawara they just couldn't accept any Katoki design.

Hey, PG GP01 progress. smile.gif
*
So far so good. I saw some reddish color on weathered part, is it red color or reddish brown?
And in my opinion some part no need to be weathered or just subtle weathered like those part that wouldn't be hit during battle, but anyway I'm don't know you are doing battle damage or the gundam aging or the combination of both. The head result that you posted previously was really good job, I really want to see the complete work of this sexy GP01. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jul 28 2013, 08:14 AM)
do you even know what battery pack is? doh.gif
not swapping Aile Pack but battery pack from HG perfect Strike

and someone already did it anyway

Feel like mod this for RG haha. But still prefer PG Strike over all of these although no battery pack as well. tongue.gif

It's a combo of battle damage and aging. Call it the "ancient warrior" if you will. tongue.gif

I'm using red iron oxide paint to make the rust that you're seeing. I'm basically aiming for a mobile suit that has been heavily abused and abandoned. Thankfully, i've almost cleared my backlog so now I can concentrate on this kit more. I should have the lower half all finished by tomorrow.
*
Nice so it was a combo, then those weathering just fit it well. smile.gif
Cool, can't wait to see the complete lower half but more excited to see the complete work.
