the reason why modellers use enamel as the second layer for reverse wash because acrylic thinner is able wipe away lacquer/oil based paints too
enamel thinner also can wipe away both acrylic and lacquer paints, so use zippo fluid is the answer
*
oh may be can try alcohol? as long as its water based solution shouldnt be problem from theory point of view should be okay...

no man, i never like the SD Musou series
If they really intend to do something like Star Winning Style
better make it futuristic setting

if its true next anime is sd plus bft 2nd season, bandai must have abandon the uncle and go for under 12 group.

consider a not bad decision since the taste of uncle is not that easy to satisfy...

Bro wanna ask what is the price of sazabi ver ka bandai going for now??

Noobie here. I find..the range is around rm 300 to 310
*
Yup even you try buy direct from japan inclusive shipping still gonna be around that price(it's 4kg box)

Unless you go japan and hand carry back, you can get as low as rm180 if you know how to look for the shops.

Again not encourage you to do this there is a cheaper option but not official maker...

I thought tryon 3 was cool, but then i got it, and i absolutely hated it.. i have never hated a kit with such burning passion.. it is by far the worst i have seen
- its lazy because they reused old ZZ mold
- the combination gimmick feels lackluster.. it combines but, i'm not wow-ed by it
- HE CANNOT POSE THAT WELL
- HE CANT HOLD HIS SWORD PROPERLY.. its too big and he looks clumsy holding it.. hands are weak and he cannot pull a decent pose since he cannot even have a 2 handed grip on the sword
- colors are just.. ugh.. i dont know why.. its the standard color type we get from bandai, but it just looks so bad in tryon
- his articulation sucks monkey balls.. i know its up there where i said he cant pose well, but i can never forgive any kit or action figure that come with a sword and cannot even do a good pose

Maybe because i saw it in the show, and it was so amazing i was so looking forward to it, hence harsher judgement
*
Just to ease your hatred quite a bit...

Some china guy try to remake the sword scene in bft

as for the color just buy metallic black spray can, spray the whole darn thing with it and with some gold paint marker touch up... viola you have your Dryon Drei !

You can sort of guess when the sword tip isn't shown in the pic. XD

hehe wrong he used action base stand, if you look hard enough some white background will have transparent C clamp at the corner...

first of all i do not want a Dryon Drei.. i want a Tryon 3
secondly, notice how his sword poses require a stand? because his left hand CANNOT grip the sword.. its quite stupid to have the manual tell me to give him a 2 handed grip but he cannot use his left hand to hold it properly AT ALL
yes some photography can make it look good, but the kit overall is a pretty bad fail to me.. does not truly capture what i loved about it in the anime, up to a point where i don't even feel like taking it for a photoshoot
*
Ok ok tryon 3 is bad is the worst, period.

1st I dip the decal to water until it is just able to slide, not too long until its completely lossen, then I apply a layer of setter, put the decals on, and remove the excess with q tip, usually it will stick properly but only at some area it does not stick n I need to apply more setter to ensure the adehsiveness is enough
*
When you're doin straight build the surface itself might tends to have slight oil residue or too smooth for the decals to hold on.

the way to rectify this is either buy some high grade sand paper to sand it 1st may be #3000 above, or wash it 1st.

for my part usually i painted my kits so the surface is rough enough to hold, for those non paint parts i spray a layer of transparent matt or gloss.
