Is it okay to apply decal without using softer or setter?
*
in my experience applying water decals without the setter resulted in the decal peeling off once it's dried

bad news for those who really take time when building their kit sweat.gif

so do i need both softer and setter? or  can just get away with just 1?

Will Sticker type decal turn yellow on the transparent part overtime if you top coat it?
*
setter alone would be sufficient enough, unless you're applying decals on some very tricky/uneven/odd surfaces.

silver Sharpie is good for detailing, but if you wanted a bling-bling gold you can look for Artline 999XF Gold Marker brows.gif

Hi, I am new to doing Gundam. I just done a Gundam Age 2 normal. But i plan to paint with semi gloss coating. Should i paint as a whole mode itself or take off part by part and paint?
*
better off do it part by part to get better coverage, and giving the coating an even finish

First or last day of the expo, will the types of kits available and the price remains the same?
*
the price usually remains the same, but the kits availability depends on whether they're stocking up or not.
