Yes it is necessary to do coating unless u want the color that u paint on to the kit to be scratch off or get dirty.

MH r going to b relocated to Cineleisure (The Curve). When they r going to re-open is unknown yet

There's no news whether the MG Strike IWSP will include the launching pad from MG Strike...


Don't get fooled by its scale
although it's 1/144
it's almost as tall as 1/100 Gundam

All the SRW & Armored Core plastic kits are from Kotobukiya
the color seperation is good but the con side is the parts are small
so when building it need to becareful
not really recommend to newbies in building plastic kits

Haha,believe me,you will get addicted and buy more and more and more until you dont know where else to put But dont buy those RM30 one,they are pirated. try those HG 1st that is yes around RM60-100. You will notice the difference between original and pirated one. Later if you get enough experience,try MG,which is at least Rm1XX,more detail and have inner part. Welcome to the hobby!!

Gunze paints have two type I think. One is Hobby colour another one is Mr.colour. Hobby colour and Tamiya are acrylic paint,which is more waterish and much easier to paint imo. Mr.colour is enamel paint,which is oily and more difficult for hand painter but the colour can last longer. Imo,for hand painters better go for acrylic paint which is Hobby colour or Tamiya. I personally like hobby colour more.

If not mistaken, MG Strike + IWSP will come together wif a flying base. Not sure it will b d same as the launching pad in MG Aile Strike.

Strike IWSP

Miniature hobby is the only model shop in Midvalley before XL came right? Wonder is it they worry XL will steal some of its customers,so they decided to move? Last time I always went to their shop to buy paints....

when strike iswp will be release??n may i know wat magazine do u guys refer to get the details of those newly release gundam??

Tsuto:
Mr. Color is Lacquer paint
which is arcylic base but need to dissolve with thinner

I've heard that MV want to increase the rent of MH space
so MH decided to shift

kingkong81:
If the flying base is better than MG Strike
then it's worth to get

Actually I prefer Bandai release the IWSP as options part
then we don't need to have 2 MG Strike
but I think it's impossible sine Bandai want to milk more money from us

Wao...Mr.colour is arcylic base? I dont know . I only know it is like enamel paint,more thicker than normal arcylic paint. Enamel and lacquer are both oil paint right? Whats the difference? By the way,Thanks for the info mate

By the way,you use Mr.colour? Cos I heard a lot of expert prefer those thicker paint. I use hobby colour but I also add in a little of thinner...

SRW model kits also have sharp sharp edges where it should be (unlike Bandai's blunt edges for everything), but the poses they have are very limited. I've did some comparison of the poses it can do with a bandai kit in my blog =,=

wtf is wrong with Malaysians thesedays and their tendency to spell "satisfied" as "satisfy" over Internet forums?

brother, i done in hurry, did'nt notice that.my point is just to share what i done. that's all.

Tsuto:
I'm not quite sure the differences between enamel & lacquer
I just know both of them using different solvent
so you can use them at the same time without melt / mix with each other's color
one example is a lot of people use enamel black color to draw panel line on arcylic / lacquer paint

infested_ysy:
Bandai's models are more "user friendly"
so it's more safe & easy to build
furthermore Bandai also target on younger teenagers or kids
Bandai has to take safety into consideration & made the edge to be blunt
so that we won't hurt our fingers when building the model kits

You can notice that building Kotobukiya's model is harder than Bandai's model

can anyone pls tell me what magazine did u guys refer to to get the details or news on new gundam model??i saw many magazine about gundam out there sales but all is old 1...some still say about 2005...isnt the gundam magazine come out in montly??weird weird weird.....pls help me...thx ya...

There are few modelling magazine sell in the market - Graphis Modeller, Hobby Japan, Dengeki Hobby & etc.
if you want to get the latest issue
you can go to Kinokuniya at KLCC
one is around RM 40 - 50

Most of the latest news are gather from forums or the company's official websites

Get the Taiwan translated Dengeki Hobby magazines for RM8 each issue. Same contents, only less stupid ads.

or alternatively, visit 2chan's /y/ board for magazine scans of upcoming figurines. People post them there from time to time.

icic....but i wonder y they didnt translate it into english(coz i cannot read chinese as well as japanese.... )....n wat do u mean by visit 2chan's /y/ board ???
is it a website or shop?? .....????

nothing to do with xl i think..as they sell almost different things..xl brings almost every toys while mh only bring those china made model kits..

think kino already stop bringing hobby japan magazine already now..now only source is XL..but they also bring so litle only every month..one day out of stock already

no need to understand also it safe to buy the magazine la..
it full of pictures and you can understand it just by looking at them
