QUOTE(Stifler the Stifmeister @ Mar 5 2014, 11:16 AM) Chrome powder or compound hard to find. Even for real car use  Must order from other country, here tada. So I usually do the hard way, spray metallic black as base then spray very light metallic silver as coat. When half dry use track cloth to wipe the surface. More you wipe more shinny chrome.  And another alternatively way : is using Mr.DIY chrome spray paint. But not as good as airbrush and compounds la.  wow good to know that (the metallic black + silver method) Does it work if I use spray can? |

QUOTE(Fallen_D @ Mar 7 2014, 01:01 PM) Hi guys, Do you have any recommendations on where to shop for Gundam in Hong Kong? I heard that Mongkok is a MUST visit place for me. Going there during summer sales. My wife allowed me to buy only 1 PG (my first PG), and i cannot decide which one to buy:- 1) Strike Freedom Gundam (since i MG burst mode, thinking of getting the PG) 2) ASTRAY RED FRAME (love the sword!) 3) 00 Raiser (heard that demand is GOOD, and looks nice!!!) 4) Aile Strike Rouge & Skygrasper (looks like a lot to build and my wife likes it) 5) Gundam Wing (looks really challenging!!!) So, guys, whats your recommendation of my first PG should be? Wing gundam looks gorgeous but require LOTS of work because it's old design. Just imagine you ave to run wire inside the frame. In terms of coolness, Red Frame is my first choice as it's really really beautiful and extremely detail. (Far more detail than other PG). As for 00 Raiser, everything is good except the price... kinda expensive. |

QUOTE(hitsugayat10 @ Mar 7 2014, 02:31 PM) Personally, would got for Strike or Red Frame (though i dont like it) as my fren told me that 00 Raiser kinda have shoulder or was it ankle/back due to the backpack issue while SF looks plain to me compared with a way cheaper RG LOL Very true for the PG 00 Raiser case. When I combine my 00 Raiser and gundam, I need something else to support the tip of 00 Raiser or else the whole kit will bent to the back. When I use the action stand (Which came with the initial production order, I was so worry about my 00 Gundam's waist will break if I leave it like that for too long  QUOTE(onnylam @ Mar 7 2014, 03:04 PM) PG Wing, not recommended 00R, ok but if you display everything, including the Raiser, very bulky Aile Strike highly recommended, but dunno why you want the Rouge ver.... Astray Red Frame also OK Strike Freedom, if you don't mind repeatingly assembling the 8 dragoons My opinion... HAHAHA totally agree for the dragoon thing! I was crying when building and painting it  |

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Mar 10 2014, 02:58 PM) RM62/RM63  If I were you and needed to assemble the same thing multiple times, I would limit myself to do only two or three a day to preserve my patience with each of them  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... |

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Mar 11 2014, 06:49 AM) 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 Good one I'll say  For the the most enjoyable always those non repetitive one, like body and head The repetitive part comes to full torture if you build a PG  |

QUOTE(afsarudy @ Mar 11 2014, 11:13 AM) And the most torturing PG so far is PG SF. LOL almost every variant of SF is torturing hahaha But yes I agree, I don't suffer that much when buildingn PG red frame and 00. (However, painting still torturing !) |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Mar 11 2014, 11:34 AM) is it better to paint a PG? i havent started mine yet PG already has amazing articulation, so panel lining + top coat usually good enough. However, it will looks even better if you paint it. (Although the process is PAIN) See the below comparison and make decision : » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
