Just refer to the pic below, usually surface deform with crack like defects and rough surface like uneven surfaces will occur with improper cooling or raw materials used of abs/ps. Bootlegs tends to have more of these defects which require further sanding and polishing or painting.

Glossier it is because they use some oil based solution for easier remove of their from the mold, so have to wash 1st before airbrush unlike bandai can paint straightaway.

*
those are called plastic flashes lol, saying rough is misleading

and Bandai kits also do need to wash, especially older kits with old molds

LOL I don't have enough pics to show but when I build my other bootlegs will you show you guys later on, most of the occasions after air brushing is ok for these bootlegs rough surfaces but when comes to mirror like glossy finish will be extremely troublesome to polish.

I use to plan to glossy chrome finish on my red frame but end up differently even I sand every parts of it due to extreme uneven and rough surfaces.

I have yet to see anyone shown glossy surface bootlegs without hellish sand process...

so if you are planning just straight build and matt spray should be ok, but if you're planning to do glossy finish will be pain in the back just to 100% sanding all parts after base coat.

thats why i still yet to start my daban sinanju, horrified when thinking to sand all curvy parts...

I did not mean that bootleg isn't as bad as you said, what I mean is your naming of the problem mentioned sweat.gif sweat.gif

LOL okay got it, actually theres 2 problem I mentioned, cracking pattern and rough surface.

bootlegs require more sanding to remove or reduce these problem to be less obvious unless its color can reduce the impact.

you can see from seller usually take photo for their bootlegs either bad resolution or prepaint a layer of matt surface

i have tried gaogao and daban both have this problem (heard ther're the same manufacturer) may be dragoon momoko better.

may be would be impropriety naming of these problem, maybe you can educate me?
*
uneven surfaces and the flowing pattern you see are called plastic flashes icon_rolleyes.gif
this is due to the liquid plastic did not flow and fill the mold evenly during injection process

as you know, Bandai can be said to have one of the best plastic injection molding tech (Lego should be better tongue.gif)
so bootleg companies would have shortcomings when using normal plastic injection machines to make the copies
and bootleg companies don't have the multi-coloured plastic injection tech, hence you can see that their multi-coloured runners are connected manually laugh.gif

he's saying bootlegs need a bit more work to make it perfect, which is the truth

Akatsuki is from the same universe as those you mentioned, they are all the same height in the show
but whether China boosted the height or not, we do not know until they have comparison photos, ok?

that is China's price, even if you order direct be prepared to pay shipping fees close to the unit's price

local sellers are already opening pre-orders at RM110 thumbup.gif

Btw, Anyone had experience with B* brand sazabi ver ka and suspect daban unit may have any problems?
*
no, I don't mean he con people, I mean he must have saw other competitor's price, hence lowered it laugh.gif

so far Sazabi Ver Ka has no real issues, the only issue for me is no funnel effect parts and action base can't hold it tongue.gif

order directly from Taobao, only over RM500 will be risky of getting taxed
100, 200 still ok

if order through Taobao agent, they got jalan with kastam, order over RM1k, 2k, also no problem, direct reach your address
but only cheap if order in large bulk

but downside, any problem with the kit, like the MC 1/144 Penelope having wrong polycaps, you can't change it
if buy from local sellers, they can help you with it

just some breakdown of all the options, not saying which is better or worse, cheers icon_rolleyes.gif

You mean action base? It's included in the original kit, Daban just copy exactly

QUOTE(heally82 @ Jun 26 2015, 06:06 PM)
nope, he bought extra funnels and the shield...

He meant the action base that holds the funnels, not the funnels themselves, yes?

There's 2 sets of funnels, the maker really bought another set of funnels that comes along action base.

You are getting things mixed up again sweat.gif
I'm not saying you're giving wrong info, what I meant is his question is asking about the Amuro insignia action base, but you were answering about the funnels instead

QUOTE(heally82 @ Jun 27 2015, 09:46 AM)
Dude, if you want extra funnels gotta pay for it, it's one if the package you can select or not from taobao.

And dude it's the original poster that give this information.
*
Dude, calm down, it's like majority of us here speak from local market perspective, majority here buys from local sellers, not from taobao, and for the nu ver ka, all if not almost all, local sellers sell the extra fin funnels set

Err I don't think the DM Akatsuki is coated, it's molded in that color.

QUOTE(Nawar @ Jul 27 2015, 10:55 PM)
it looks like the new MG Hyaku shiki type color... molded in color not coated shiny type color...

i dont mind the dull color, since most of my build are flat coat..

gold plating doesn't mean it has to be the chrome gold, even metallic colours, titanium finish, high finish, etc are all coating
molded gold plastic can only achieve the MG Strike Freedom's puke gold
