Well...worth taking a look

Decades old Gundam shooting down modern hi-tech Destiny
Nice work there

MG SF, MG SF Full Burst, MG Hi-Nu, MG Cross Bone ......

wat they tell u...all r newly released kit


MG Freedom, MG S-Gundam, MG Wing 0, Mg Ex-S

Wat they tell u...all long time gundam kit

Which is harder to get? Old 1 or new 1? How many ppl have been desperately looking for MG Freedom recently but answer they got is no stock?? I've been looking for S-Gundam for some time, either it is not available, or it is expensive.

So...those newly release stuff, u do not need to rush to buy, they will be there for quite some time. So, u can buy it even after 1 year of release...not like those PVC figure, most r one-time release only.

So, take your time to decides which kit u think worth buying and try to accumulate ur wealth. See wat others ppl comment after buying the kit. Not as if u can finish assemble all the kits u bought, especially if u 1 2 do nicely n details plus hv 2 work some more.

I used to buy a lot kits at first, whenever new release i feel like buying, but after a while, it seems like no matter how early i bought the kit, it can still be purchase after that. Mayb not the case for those special edition (+stand like HG IJ, DVD like Strike Noir).

The point is...no need to rush...

Just my 2 cents

That is BANDAI tactics to squeeze all d money fr v all...

It seems like a habit ady...they always release a upgraded version after an initial 1.

So wait for a while n c wat is their future release

Wat u can do is, use ur hobby knife to scrape along the seam line then smoothen it using high grade sandpaper by wet sanding technique.

Another easier way is to cut some leftover sprue, then put those 'tubes' on it, put the thing into a drill (preferably a hand drill). Turn it on, and u hv a continuously rotating like a drill, put the sandpaper over it with some water. This is juz like the way ppl do round marble sanding...

Hope this helps

As previously answered by other forum members, wet sanding is where u add some water before u sand the plastics. U can either dip the sandpaper or dab some water onto the surface of the plastic before u sand. Wet sanding will help to reduce sanding marks that r left after sanding.

For sandpaper grade, there r a lot (400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200...). Usually u start sanding wif lower grade sandpaper and gradually increase the grade to get a smoother effects. (i.e. 600 > 800> 1200).

For painting, i'm not so expert oso..so i'll try to answer to my best knowledge.
The picture of Mr. Hobby paint that u posted r thinner-base acryllics (or alcohol-base?? ), so u need to add thinner to dilute the paint to make it easier to paint. There are also aqueous/water-base acryllics which can be diluted using water alone.

If u r using handbrush, it is advisable to add some Mr. Retarder Mild @ Mr. Levelling Thinner (Mr. Retarder + Mr. Thinner). The retarder helps to slow down the drying process of the paint making it easier to paint.

Painting technique....errr...u should start painting at one direction...wait until it is fully dry, then apply the 2nd coating in another direction. Eg. 1st coat u start from left --> right, 2nd coat Up --> Down

Hope this helps

Happy Modelling
