Wah.... Strike fan eh? biggrin.gif

extra bits of plastic.... chop it off with your hobby/pen knife... if you have a clean cut the surface should already be quite smooth. If you still want it to be smoother, sand it. However, sanding is easy for white surfaces, yet a bit of a problem for coloured parts because it would leave scratch marks. For black or dark blue parts (eg Titans blue), the panel lining marker could be used to fill in the white parts left over by chopping the plastic bits.

Look back a few pages for tips on wet-sanding... I'm sure it was mentioned by some of the members before. Of course, these are easy methods for simple effort. If you want to paint your kit, just sand it till the whole thing is smooth, prime it and spray...

meanwhile... another proof that extra finish versions are crap, not forgetting freaking expensive...

attcually im not a fan of strike stuff tongue.gif just that i dont know where to start so i just grab those four model kit ... btw thanks for the headup tips tongue.gif maybe when im super free i'll spray the models.. and indeed the extra finnish models are crap.... i thinkso i'm gonna go grab a sentinel model next time ... or maybe i should wait for the two more new models which is coming out next month...

i feel kinda regretted getting all strike version due to its similarity of its chasis
hmmm... anyway gonna upload some noob posing since its my first time on gunpla stuff ...

sure sure when u free??? haha coz this month i break till feb.. then next month(MArch) i cannot edi coz i'll be 6 month training sad.gif
gimmie a call or something haha

btw if u wan tips on buyingying gunpla.. its all based on ur preference and likings la.... as for me i want to build gunpla which have impressive infrastructures and alwiz want to balance out my good guys and bad guys... (since now i got too many good guys i need to buy more bad guys haha) btw thats my likings la... since SEED and Seed Destiny mostly comes in No-Grade 1/100 scale.. its kinda pointless building em coz they dont have that much detail of infrastructures emphasized during your building phase....and of coz thats what i feel laaa... maybe u prefer simple build .....
