im no sifu, but just a suggestion .. probably you can spray some coating .. top coat matte to make it look less plasticky?

Nub mark? Whats that?lol.still new with all this term.anyway, next build gonna be the sinanju.just pick up the sinanju ver ka yesterday.from what i see,lagi byk parts then the musha. rclxub.gif hopefully didnt break any parts like i did with the musha.need alot of that tamiya cement thingy thanks to my super shaky hands. cry.gif
I did try to coat it with mr hobby matte after i paint the parts but dunno why it looks like it got that snowy effect.maybe i spray it to thick? In the end have to spray the whole thing over again. Overall use 2 cans of burning red, 2 cans of flat black n 1 can of  sparkling gold for the musha. sweat.gif

no such thing as complexity or too technical or difficult for them ... they always have ways to make it ..

haha..
i dont work at bandai , i dont pretend that i know how they run business and if they had difficulties understanding demands from gundam fans .. no pun intended ..

what im saying, if they wanna make a kit, they will make it .. not because i ask them to, not because you ask them to .. but because bandai wants to .. and if bandai want to make a kit of any grade, yes, they have their r&d to figure any possibilities if they should make it or not .. and how they gonna make it .. it's bandai decision, not me, not you .. any problem they be having, is their problem, not you not mine ..

and for im saying, they have ways to make it .. like you explaining to your ownself .. they will take into account before finalize anything ..

so here, i didnt say i work for bandai .. i didnt ask them to make any kit that i want ... i dont pretend that i know their problems or if i should ask them how to run their business ...

any grade of any gundam is possible...? yes, it's always possible .. they made hg kshatriya, mg who knows, maybe in future.. is possible ..

i dont see them having problem making 1 .. probably bandai dont feel like it.. ? like gen_nic said, bandai had thought of the project and cancel or probably delay .. that's bandai decision there ..

my comment was not to demand anything .. im saying, there's a possibility .. and anything, is bandai's choices .. not me, not you ..

so, why so serious..? sweat.gif

and im explaining to u the problem that u didn't see. The business problem and technical problem, not a feel problem. I kno u don work at Bandai, i dont either, none of us do. But that doesnt mean we cant think critically and analyse Bandai business strategy, on why some r realistic and some completely ridiculous.

the previous quote that u made seems to put Bandai on a pedestal, thinking that they can and will do everything, thinking that eventually everything will be made just because it exist. Thinking that they actually is withholding a particular design just because they feel like it. U seems to hav big expectation, an expectation that will never be realize and ultimately setting up a major disappointment that will leave a sour taste in ur mouth. Im injecting reality, to lower down ur expectation on Bandai so that u dont crash and burn leaving u dejected and ultimately walk away from the hobby.

aiyaa... im not putting expectations or hope or anything for this gundam kit thing .. why you assume so much? sweat.gif
if they make 1, good for you ... if not, pls dont rage ..
why is my mouth sour? sweat.gif hardly i will be disappointed .. i think you mistaken me of a gundam fanatic? sweat.gif
iskk... do i know you bro? sweat.gif

pls check my 1st attempt on RG gundam above.. sweat.gif
and tell me, if im a big dreamer of gundam kit? sweat.gif

is there any alternative top coat that all you sifus use beside mr. top coat?
*
im using mr. top coat flat.matte ...
i think using top coat on sticker doesnt go well ... the sticker on my RG feel like going to peel off .. with visible lines ..
probably better if the gundam on water/dry decal .. or top coat it 1st before applying sticker ..
or maybe my top coating technic is wrong sweat.gif

im not saying ur mouth is sour. im saying u r setting up urself for disappointment and eventually leave a sour taste in ur mouth.

while it may or may not hold true to u, but ur post suggest otherwise. U urself may not be a fanatic, but there r such ppl lurking and/or posting. U may not be disappointed, but ur post gives such ppl hope. U r setting up their disappointment. There r tons of fans who begin with such expectation, who truly think that in due time everything will be made and every kit that u dream off will be true. It all starts from having an unrealistic expectation. Such fans ultimately turn into whiners after years and years of constant disappointment, got piss off and leave the hobby, and in doing so scaring new ppl away.

Just look at gundamguy blot post or youtube post. How many of them r whining and complaining "Where is my xxx kits", "Screw u bandai, giv me my xxx kits", "u suck bandai hu the hell cares for xxx kits, i want yyy kits", "im not paying bandai a single cent if tey don make zzz kits".

All im doing is to give reason to why such thinking is unrealistic, give reason as to why such and such kits will/wont be made. Tone down ppl expectations inject reality and induce crtical thinking. i donwan this place to degenerate into such a cesspool

ok noted bro..
thanks for your concern .. we should be realistic from now on ..
im new, pls let me know when im wrong ..
starting wit my rg zeta .. sweat.gif

no la.. not really like wanna challenge myself in building, it's just that from all RG lineup; there are few that come to my liking ..
zeta, justice, strike freedom, destiny .. i chose zeta probably because i see him got more playability compare to others ..

and this zeta, i havent transform yet .. i havent break anything, and dont plan to .. sweat.gif

i think a lot of people opt for mechanical pencils.. not sure how effective those are as i've never used them.. you can try artline drawing pens.. as small as u can find, i think the smallest in stationary stores are 0.1mm
*
owh ya la... mechanical pencil should do it .. thanks bro .. thumbup.gif
and i think using pencil also less messy and easier to correct if lining too much ..

U can try use stabilo exam grade 2b ✎ and sharp it as sharp as u can, and it work quite OK. Cuz I also use it to panel lining. laugh.gif
Mechanical pencil are not suitable for panel lining cuz to thick, the fines one stationary shop have are 0.5, so is cannot LA ~
The most I use is artline drawing pen , try get the 0.1 cuz it is the fines one.

owhh ok thanks .. so i will need to look for 0.1 .. got it! thumbup.gif

wtf, ajaran sesat
mechanical pencil is reliable alternative for panel lining because it dont have smudge finish compared to lining ink pen
but make sure you choose the pencil lead wisely

some dont dark enough
*
yeah.. im using gundam marker currently... got smudge but i just quickly rub with my finger to even them ... if leave too long, it will dry and will be harder to remove ..
pencil should be easier .. just need to buy better tone lead

how did you do the spraying?
panel line > spray > weathering? > top coat?
