maybe...
it's just that one thing that i can't help
see when you cut a plastic, particularly dark colored ones, part of it will turn white
my problem is, after i cut the part out, it turn to white color
i tried filing it with file, but that'll only make the plastic thinner, the white mark still there
when i cut the part out, i don't cut close to the part, i cut further down first, then i cut the rest later, just like how master Kawaguchi taught me biggrin.gif

I'm no master, what I usually do is;
- cut the part from the runner, leaving about a few mm of nub
- trim the nub with cutter, this time with a closer cut but not fully removing it out
- trim the remaining with a knife, making a clean cut
- touch it up with markers. for dark areas, grey sometimes works best

here's how it looks after being cut, before trimmed with a knife and touch-up:

it also helps to trim REAAALLLY slowly with a knife so your cut doesn't stress the plastic and make the area white... a sharp knife helps a lot too

mainly the white is due to the stress when you press against the part with the knife, due to the knife not being sharp enough or cutting too fast and pressing to hard on the ppart

agreed.

I use one of those knife with disposable blades that can be broke off to get a new sharp tip. when building a kit I usually broke off 3-4 tips, depending on the size of the model. so each blade would last about 3 builds laugh.gif

also trimming it slowly reduced the risk of getting your finger cut brows.gif

box received with some damages, well done pos laju  vmad.gif

PosLaju is not the only to blame, but also your seller or whoever does the packing. that one is a very lazy packing sweat.gif

even with bubble wrap but the packing is tight it's still exposed to dents if exerted with enough force. next time should try putting it in a bigger box, and have the cushioning inside.

I've once sent a MIB gunpla to a fellow friend all the way to Sabah but once he got it he said that the box looks like it's still fresh from the shelves. even took a picture and sent it to me laugh.gif

yea RG Mk-II (u have keen eyes  rclxms.gif ) will try UHU 1st see..if cant hold then last resort will try super glue  nod.gif  wonder if super glue will melt the plastic  icon_question.gif  thanks for the advice  notworthy.gif
*
UHU wouldn't stick that firm, and super glue (those cheap ones) will not melt the plastic

just apply a tiny bit on the broken part and leave it to dry. don't put too much or it will overflow and ruin the part's surface. not to mention it will stick to your fingers, too.

you can do the trick by using a toothpick to apply the super glue from the tube onto the mentioned part.

it is, but if it might not look that good if you're planning to use the included stickers since all the borders on the stickers doesn't look appealing when applied to dark surfaces

that is, unless you're opting for aftermarket waterslide decals brows.gif

for RG Mk-II, I'd pick the AEUG laugh.gif

So I know this isn't the PG GP01(I was taking a break, leave me alone), but I figured it was worth showing off. For those of you who remember my Softbank "metal in frame" RX-78-2, I decided to give it a touch-up to make it a bit more RG-ish.

we should focus more on the event rather than the poster, no?

besides, it's still Bandai's event. they can use the same picture over and over again as they please

and the picture is from the boxart of MG Aile Strike ver. RM

the proportions looks a bit fat. are you sure it's an MG? looks like a NG (Non-Grade) 1/100 to me. boxart as follows:

the box for the MG 1/100 looks like this:

and the MG have a lot sleeker (read: slim) proportions:

remember, all MGs are 1/100 scale, but not all 1/100 scale Gunplas are MG icon_rolleyes.gif
