Yes from WAVE. Have to commission it to someone to build and paint it, as it clearly beyond my level, and can't afford to make mistake as the kit was hard to get

very old kit right? I had one and it was ultra tough (need to use adhesion one!) ... am looking for any new 5-star story model kit...

I have a friend that currently finishing a certain FSS kit and he told me that the snapfit is awful and the plastic is not that great...

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Jun 20 2014, 03:09 PM)
Volks or WAVE?

I got the same question as Exiled_Gundam... I had a Wave's L.E.D Mirage before, ultra hard to build, need to use glue one.

But not sure about this Volks, and according to the website it's only available later this month.

never a huge fan of clear part kits... they all look weird and it's a pain with nub marks.

the best clear part kit is still the banshee, since it's not really that transparent due to the dark armour pieces.

by the way, found something that might be helpful for those looking for replacement kits which we know is not easy to obtain
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/finetoolkits/m....=1&_ipg=&_from=

pricey, but at least it's an option
*
Actually until today I still have no idea how to deal with nub mark on clear/ metallic part. If file it it's all gone... So I rather take the pain the paint my gundam all over than any titanium version. sad.gif

You can minimize the problem by adding the blu tack at the wrist, did that to my 3.0, Nu and Jesta and so far they can hold better.

However, for Jesta I used the dry super glue method on top of the tack, now the palm is harder to be disconnected from the wrist joint.

That's what I did, only help 'a bit'.

My Sazabi got terrible issue to hold his rifle...

Guys I wanna ask something about color. See the pic below (grabbed from Gundamguy) what's the color used to achieved the glossy metallic effect?

I compared with with mine which used silver leaf from Tamiya, it's not as glossy as this one.

Easiest to achieve that for me is chrome + Tamiya Smoke. You can also use gunmetal color and gloss coat.

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Jul 7 2014, 11:49 AM)
Easiest method, Alclad. Best chrome paint ever.

Black underlayer, Alclad chrome over and then lightly dusting off with soft hand brush, kautim. However u cant get Alclad in msia (i cant find 1 anywhere, if u know pls do share that info), u'll have to import it from ebay or something.

QUOTE(mf_yamato @ Jul 7 2014, 11:54 AM)
u need gloss black as undercoat, and mist coat of silver on top of it...
i use gaianote starbright silver.... and shines great...

Thanks Sifu, I got an urge to re-paint all the nozzles for my Sazabi rclxub.gif

Do it at the staircase there. That's how I spray all my gundams icon_idea.gif (of course make sure you do it at the stair which between 2 level, so less likely to get caught)
