For my nu, I tried this method. Decal->1st coat->panel line->2nd/last coat.

IMO, sometimes, it good to experiment with different method to find which is preferable to you. I do decal 1st before panel lining/colour (use marker) because sometime if not careful, the setter/softener liquid can cause smudge to the lining/colour. So I decal 1st, the coat to protect the decal, then only lining/colour.

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Feb 10 2014, 12:04 PM) it depends on your techniques I guess you applied too much setter/softer hence the lining ink can run most do lining first because if you applied decals already, trying to rub away excess ink would risk damaging the decals some uses panel line wash technique, which requires thinner or zippo fluid to wipe away the excess ink, this will damage the decals I'm not a careful type, so most of the time, will have excess setter/softener because I don't have a steady hand to wipe off the excess liquid. When I tried to do it, I usually accidentally moved the decal...  BTW, wiping excess lining off a coated surface is really easy.

QUOTE(rx330 @ Feb 12 2014, 10:53 AM) i think thats the MG version,no? for inner frame of light gunmetal, and silver, is it necessary to top coat as well? I thought its RG, since the Nu at the back look much bigger...  Ops, it is MG. Forgot that Nu is relatively bigger from other MG. This post has been edited by sphiroth: Feb 12 2014, 12:04 PM

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Feb 17 2014, 12:31 PM) No. The old detolf sku is being phased out, new sku is replacing it. The new sku is still called detolf but with different product id, to avoid confusion with 2 product with the same name with different id, ikea pull out the old detolf from shelf and labeled as "sold out" or no longer being listed by ikea pending the arrival of new detolf. The new detolf is the same as the old, just with different product id and different packaging. New detolf is being replace all around the world since beginning of January.

Its quite troublesome to take out the armor for matte top coat. I'm planning to mask the gold part only. But now trying to find water slide decal for it first.

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Feb 22 2014, 02:53 PM) Damn i've completely forgotten about that one! Perfect timing too.. i could really use those for a custom i'm cooking up  Anyway i feel the MG is too expensive for my taste.. plus i'm quite bored of MG astrays.. HG should do just fine for what i'm planning.. heheh.. and needs less space to display If I were to collect Build Fighter series, it definitely will be the HG, because more models, smaller and cheaper  . But hopefully no, because it will tear a big hole in my pocket...

QUOTE(mdshaman @ Feb 22 2014, 05:11 PM) So, the GN Sword is not chrome plated.. then that means 2700¥ will be the standard price for regular RG then..  Yes, the Bandai Premium is for parts for the Exia Repair only. IMO quite expensive, and not much gimmick...  I'm actually hoping LED for the GN drive.
