Hi guys, I'm not into Gundam but I do like the design of Zaku and all his variations. How many are there actually?

From the little knowledge I have about Gundam, the ones I know are:
- Green Zaku
- Red Char's Zaku
- Black/dark purple Zaku
- Blue Gouf (he looks like a modified Zaku to me... is he a Zaku variant?)

Which grade would I have to go with if I want to collect all the colors of Zaku? biggrin.gif
*
ramba ral said before (on gouf)
"this is no zaku, boy. No zaku!"
tongue.gif

references aside,
there's a lot actually
real grade have 2
high grade have more than master grade, i believe?
you can also browse at dalong.net

not sure whether it's truly pronounced as ree-den or rai-den... can't read kanji.

probably will buy super zaku custom as additional to my team of zakus.... lots of guns, huge poleaxe.... sweet as.
*
took a 2nd look at the kanji
it was "rai-den"
i was wrong all this while blush.gif

you should buy brows.gif

Yet, my item not exceed RM500 somemore ...

Japan Yen 3,758 + Shipping cost Yen 1,780 = Yen 5,538

After convert around RM177 ?
*
don't worry, my package from hlj also come out the same status
"High value goods - PPL Kota Kinabalu"
no tax, since less than 500
you'll only see a 'kastam' seal at the bottom of the box
for my case, no tax, everything intact, no dent on the box at all

Dunno is they con me or not..

But i asked them did my item exceed Rm500 or not ?
They said Miri, Sarawak cannot exceed RM200  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif KLIA is RM500

Then they calculated my items and RM195 ...

Also 10% for Toys if exceed.

Any place can get the info of RM500 applicable to whole Malaysia so next time i can show to them  mad.gif
Also why HLJ put higher rate of delivery?

I paid Yen 1,780 but the box show Yen 2,400
*
don't worry, like i said, mine also came out with same status
no tax charged on me, KK more or less same with miri 1...

...unless if only a payment slip arrived at your doorsteps...

gold marker will never be able to achieve gold frame levels of gold.. even with spray or AB it's impossible because those are plated gold..
best gold you can achieve is via airbrushing also.. that also take master levels of patience and skill

what about tamiya's X-12 gold leaf? ever use before?

add on the question if you all don't mind..should I build > lining or lining > build ?

my step:
build partially (head, torso, waist, arm, leg) > lining > decals > snap all part together.

but honestly kinda hard to resist the temptation to snap all together first, no?
