QUOTE(TheEvilMan @ Jul 8 2015, 11:29 AM) many had suggested one year war, and personally i think 3.0 palm is way too big, i have none to compare so i wonder if i were to get one should i opt for one year war or 3.0 v3 no doubt is great in term of details and articulation.Articulation wise which one u guys prefer but i dislike the 3.0 hand. it looks big and fat on it. and v3 seems not sturdy. (nt my preference) |

I have a question regarding water decals
I notice somwtime it doesnt stick well even after uaing setter, and I notice theres a bit of dust (from topcoat) which might be the case. Is it advisable to rub it clean with a dam cloth before I put on decals? It only happen like 1 out of 20 decals |

QUOTE(kimirockz @ Jul 9 2015, 11:56 AM) thats the challenging part i knowjz be very careful when painting it. avoid the sticker... looks awful. lol other than that it would be less challenging since i won't be doing decals, red comet should stay red! problem is....for snap fit, i might end up drawing the gold (since i have the marker) and use the knife to carefully scrap away the excess :/ |
