Yeah, despite what other people said about Unicorn kits being redundant (like the Exia), I still find Phenex to be unique. Also planning to get one, maybe at the end of the year wub.gif

So for our gunpla model, TS Spray is the one i need, right ?
*
Yes, if you used PS spray, it doesn't really stick to the pieces and visually much more prone to scratch.

cant say anything about EXIA, what i can say is EXIA HG is did very well till RG has no room for improvement, if i give you a blue print of EXIA where and what pattern panel line you will add in  unsure.gif  brows.gif
(Also latest the style of design is up to date, can't say anything for that, unless that EXIA was designed like Kunio Okawara  laugh.gif )

well... about colour separation, i only can say Since RG strike already gone d. XD
*
I think the impressive color separation ended with RG Justice.

Guys, wanna ask cutter. (I think got ppl asked before but like nvr answered)

VS

HIQPart/G-Temple Made in Japan Super Sharp Point Side Cutter
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Which one is good ?
*
Both are actually good, but I find normal cutters being sold at normal hardware shops are suffice to do the job, if not as good. It's just used to cut the pieces from the runners, unless it's to trim the nub marks, then only it holds some merits to be the justification to buy 'branded' cutters laugh.gif

Cause mine actually already become not really sharp already after using for 1 year  sweat.gif
Cap-ayam brand btw...

And always resulted in not having a clean cut from the runners  doh.gif

So might as well get a branded one and can tahan bit longer
*
The way I look at it, since you are supposed to cut on the big piece of the runner (not the thin one connected directly to the piece), it doesn't matter whether you're using expensive or cheap cutters, since it won't affect the actual piece itself. Some people make mistake when they use the cutter to actually cut the thin piece instead of the big one. Even the manual suggests that builder should cut on the big piece biggrin.gif

Yea, but some big runner which stick very near with the pieces hardly can get a clean cut.

If the space is too tight, just cut the runner wherever you are able to biggrin.gif No one said you definitely have to cut close to the pieces smile.gif

i would like to ask, i enjoy collecting gundam figures but dont really have time to color it etc so if i purchase master grade or perfect grade, do i need to color it or itself is already nice ? and usually whats the price range for master grade and perfect grade ?
*
RG, MG and PG do not need coloring. However, people put details on the kits, especially the weapons, joints, or accents. Recent HG are good too, but they still need some coloring, especially if you hate the stickers biggrin.gif

Post 2010 MG usually are sold between 120-200+, but some can even fetch higher than that, such as the recent Sazabi (big ass kit), or special release version (Extra finish, titanium, Bandai Premium etc).

Hmm IMHO still does not look like the chrome-plated kits (example MG Phenex: http://dalong.net/review/mg/m178/m178_p.htm ). Chrome-plated do have mirror-like reflection

Yeah, that looks more like a buffed silver smile.gif

Honestly to say, I more prefer flat coat than chrome. Chrome look like fake toy.

Depends, chrome is nice especially on beam rifle, physical bladed swords and axes biggrin.gif

that only possible if you already work on other stuff and begin the dragoon mid way.

Let's say if you start your gunpla for the day and you start it with dragoon...  sweat.gif

My way, I will always go with 'accessories' first. Build weapons, backpacks and wings (if available). I found that when I have finished building the Gundam, I tend to rush things over just to complete it a.s.a.p, compromising the quality. To fix it, I start with the small and repetitive things first biggrin.gif
