always a pleasure, buddy
if you are based in Malaysia, KL, head to 1Utama. if they don't have stock, ask them. if they say no stock, ask when they are gonna restock. we have to keep harassing them. they will eventually restock
waiting for the colours you want to be available is one of the thrill of cosmetic building

2nd place. ROFL. Shah lepas kereta tinggi sangat la, (when Ise told him to launch it lower) made the car bump. bila car bumping, the hex socket gear tu makan. loosed hex socket so no pickup la. no pickup how la to jump.
but he apologised so that's okay.

TU nope. woke up so late and wasn't emotionally ready to mandi battery hahaha

wakakakakaka. ni issue layout tadika tu eh? lolololol. adoi, upah la Yaya. Yaya tu dah bertahun design track kat TU. but instead, Apeh got all emotional and went......

anodized effect on hard cowl or clear poly cowl bro?
Like this one? (poly cowl)

and ffs, black tuna only play with mono colour. as a cosmetic builder, I say that is a fail. shows lack of creativity. 0 point for colour coordination. auto show contest don't give you marks on how expensive your parts are, lulz. so bij pliz *flicks hair*

Not everybody have access to airbrush la Sonic.

We don't bother. Said this in few post back, "lightweight don't (really) mean jack"
Build the lightest car for max torque if you want. Build the heaviest car for max momentum if you'd like, but if you don't got the basics covered like the wheel are wobbling horribly, slightest screw bent can't be detected, you're already on the wrong boat.

For fine details can la

clear/metallic cowl on matching coloured chassis is what they call cosmetic building? oh dear....

SAME.

1. achieving anodized (metalized) effect on poly cowl is very easy since the poly cowl itself is already in a high gloss finish. if done on hard covers, it's really hard. you'll be needing airbrush and chroming powder. buffing. etc. a pain, I'd say.
anyway my secret recipe (which is not so secretive) is to use PS-48 underneath a layer of clear blue. there's 2 shades of clear blue by Tamiya for PS. PS38 Translucent Blue and PS39 Translucent Light Blue.
the first part is the trickiest part, spraying the clears. the more you spray clears, the more opaque it becomes. getting just the right tint is tricky as Spraying 101 tells you to never spray in thick wet coats. always go with light mist. but if you can master this, then you shall be fine.

after a layer of clear (either PS38 or PS39), I like to use PS48. it's just my personal favourite. it gives a really nice shine when done right compared to other silvers namely PS-12 and PS-41

and then, finish it up with PS5, gloss black it'll shine nicely like my green hawk




2. only Sonic have ventured into liquid masking. I know GSI Creos makes them. but I'm particularly looking for another brand which is thinner and easier to work with. though I have no luck finding it available on sale as for now

Damn! Really ah. I am re tuning my belanja car. Replacing the front 830's with 19mm's. But I only have plastic rings. Never knew the force would be so strong that it will break it. Damn...

30% lighter.

1. All bumpers fit all chassis. If it doesn't, drill custom holes.
2. Replacement? What do you plan on using it for?
