One thing i realize the GE figures has the normal emotionless face. From the first 2 Alisa, its quite clear and Ciel seems to inherit the same stuff. (Not sure if it's just me paranoid about expression)

serow.. but reporting in~ lol

Bro what lenses do you use for photo?

that's for display cabinet with spotlights
the water is to cool down the interior, so the heat from the spotlight won't warp the figures

If use LED.. should not be a problem wit heat

i did

Juz 18-55mm AF-S VR kit lens on nikon d5200 , @f/4.5 29mm, iso 100, shutter 1/5sec with tripod, using manual focus & timer. Still wondering whether i overexposed her photos though; i might have overdid it a bit.
no need for fancy lenses when it comes to shooting figures unless u wanna go very near you will need a telephoto or macro lens.

I do plan to get a prime lens, but not on a hurry. A f/1.8 50mm lens is affordable (in the standards of photography accessories, approx rm 350-700+ depending whether it has VR), but if i had that kind of $$ i would go for f/1.4 50mm (approx RM 1300) for that pretty & smoother bokeh it produces.

Im not the kind who likes to abuse & spam bokeh, kinda a cheap tactic to me to produce great shots with minimal effort (which is why i do dioramas to be different from others), but for the sake of more variety to my photos i will still need a prime lens - also useful in portrait shots & wide landscapes (but i dont shoot landscapes much), not to mention they take in lots of light meaning i dont have to lower the shutter speed so much.

anyone bought from toypanic before? >< need recommendations on seller thx

Ahh , I see thanks for the info .
Recently weather quite hot , decided to put a glass of water inside my cabinet although there's no spotlights in it .
Is it recommended ?

later fatt mold...

Curse them GKs and all who can do a proper paintjob... That said,Altlene and Alitines by Grizzly Panda got picked for the PVC treatment,so maybe there's hope still...? Speaking of which,those two are due out Jan/Feb and still no painted promos...Certainly not helping with the trust issues, quesQ...

hehe, i do a little bit of gk myself. Mainly due to the fact that most of them dont receive the pvc treatment ever, and that is motivation enough for me to start learning and building my own kits. why not try it? many sifus here

I really want to hate you right now,but I kinda envy you too... Its not like I didn't consider getting into GKs...I think there are more GKs I fancy than PVCs...But the really good ones cost as much/more than high-end PVCs...Not to mention I have a short attention span... It would be sad to see a kit I like half finished/botched up...So I guess I'll stick to pvc for now and just rage about awesome GKs...

You're cool like that,aren't you...

refer this tread here better la:

better not, our tropical climate means that the humidity is high, and too much water isn't good for PVC either
most important is to avoid direct exposure to sunlight, and if can, avoid direct illumination from fluorescent lights either

i get recast kits from e2046 ori ones are way too rare and hence thats why they are so expensive. Using decals on the eyes really saves you from messing up the face, since thats the most important part of the gk. Apart from that, i really recommend you to start getting into gk. after about 3-4 kits youve pretty much break even with buying 4 pvc's alone

Here's my Buddy.

Mine already buried somewhere in the grave so long time ago. If you didn't post I've totally forgot her.

Haha, nice figs ma.

Yeah, I've just dig her up. She's just like new, even after 2 years or so.
