was testing this for weathering, do i(actually weathering done by my gf) need to go darker?
it seems weathering was easier at parts that have already been sprayed with top coat matt Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Stifler the Stifmeister @ Jan 21 2014, 02:42 PM) I feel it look more like SHADING than weathering, to me . but OK also, look good, HV detail a bit adi. weather n shading diff ar? hahhahaU can Try use cutting knife or hobby knife to scratch or minor cutting at the side edge of the ammor, make it damage a bit. Then drybrushing the damage u made. U can try experiment it.  i saw the kit there tulis weathering kit ok, the damage one after i settle this, then the next one would be those with scar one but i think i would work with MG better, HG really small for my gigantic hands  |

khai,
thanks for clarifying yes, if shipping cost isnt a problem? or ship in bulk, is it worth it? I was looking at sazabi price which is about rm 200, and the nu gundam titanium, about 10k yen, ebay selling for 200+ usd and local online stores here selling for 600+ myr |

those that does online store locally, mostly stocks from lit tak? rather than self import? |

QUOTE(D-y @ Jan 23 2014, 11:37 AM) most of them are self import. Not many shops are affiliated with litt tak, usually those supermarkets and toys"r"us if they are self imports, how come they have the new year campagin card as well? |

if lets say bringing in about 500-1k sets?
so main thing is if i can get cheap shipping, and steer clear of customs, there is a higher possiblity of making money then? |

guys, anyone here owns any titanium MGs?
im curious, is it possible to remove the snubs properly? or it will be damage at the cutting area? since repainting should be pointless if to purchase a titanium type thanks |
