QUOTE(nazrul90 @ May 22 2015, 10:06 PM)
gwing now using Airpak courier service
they never use poslaju, only Gdex & Kangaroo courier in the past
*
i thought so too, but last time when i buy from them, i told them i have less than pleasant experience with gdex, so i ask them if they got any other courier, and they say they got use poslaju, so this time i request for poslaju...

i think they today only sent out as i can only track it today...
so most likely i only be getting it on tuesday...

any reliable shop guys?

sorry cant help you much on this...seems like those websites that i usually visit to buy kits are out of stock...

QUOTE(TheEvilMan @ May 25 2015, 12:28 PM)
this, i'm not that skillful to hide nubmarks so i probably wreck this kit
and to build the same MG over again for twice with banshee and phenex is quite a challenge to me in term of patience sweat.gif
*
same here, watch a few videos and also using some of the tools suggested by forummer here, but still not as "clean"...
dont really like using sand paper, no matter how fine, as i can feel the "roughness" and the paint will be somehow different on the area that i use sand paper on...

really feel like painting after seeing those custom build...

edit:

that's MG? and i thought it was RG, as it look like 1/144 scale...

edit;
u mean those RX-78 and Zaku in the frame, it's probably MG since RG has 2 color tones
*
you are right, it is MG...got a little "note" on the frame to confirm...

QUOTE(General_Nic @ May 25 2015, 01:38 PM)
Really really boring, especially if painting them
I have FA Unicorn, 2 Banshees, Banshee Norn, and Phenex, means repeat 4 times lol
The irony is I don't have the original Unicorn tongue.gif
You need to go from high grit sand paper to low grit, lowest being #2000
Then you need to polish using compound, from coarse to fine
If you want a super glossy surface like a new car, then further polish with Finish compound
*
sweat.gif , i think i better use nippers then use hobby knife to "thin" out...though i'm guilty of skipping this procedure at times, especially when assembling HG kits...

i wanted to get the RG version if possible...
but the RG is quite exp...almost 300 sweat.gif


really liking the RG 00 raiser...
quite sturdy, dont feel fragile, very minor weight issue even with the 0 raiser attached...
even feel like getting the trans-am version, or another kit then get people to help paint some of the parts to another colour...

also PO is available for Drion III and Cathedral Gundam at GA...
i wanted to PO both as i like Drion 3 color scheme more than Trion...
but unfortunately the price not available yet...

Owh cant read chinese so not sure the procedure sad.gif

GA i saw the PO for RM180 when i was there last Fri, too exp IMHO  sweat.gif
Gwing MYR155 mmmm  hmm.gif

Just make me feel like is it worth it to get or I'll just get regular Tryon and paint it black.. without the awesome Horn though
*
seriously? RM180?
GA pricing is on the high side, especially with p-bandai stuff since the GST...
gwing pricing honestly more attractive...

i'm planning to order but can only do so later in the month...
want to get cathedral and also drion, but kinda pricey...

well, at least the new HGs are very good...
more details and very good articulation...
the pale rider i gotten recently thumbup.gif

Look I'm browsing the thread in reverse if there's a simple way to edit + quote a new quote i'd be glad to post in 1 single post, but i'm not going to click quote then copy & then click back & then click edit & press paste & type my response just to save 1 post space.

QUOTE(advocado @ Jun 12 2015, 11:10 AM)
how does it work? i press it it just show + -. does it mean if i press the button it will automatic combine post to previous post?

edit: the +quote button doesn't work, it just turns red, nothing show up, i type the reply in the quick reply box it shows a new reply, maybe my browser is outdated so sorry guys can't do much about it.

QUOTE(advocado @ Jun 12 2015, 11:11 AM)
Testing.

If you plan to keep the PG unicorn, a LED that you'd never use the 2nd time is still a good to have.

seriously, for a guy with so many stars and yet didnt know how to use the +quote thingy?

press "+quote" to all the posts that you want to reply then click on "Add Reply", then you will see everything in one post and you can reply them together...
see how i put all your post together?

Edit: lol, so many people replying on the +quote thing... sweat.gif

weekend straight built while waiting for red zeta...

gotten HG astraea on saturday, thinking of doing some kit bash with gundam exia dark matter...

the kit more or less the same, but the parts where they attached to one another is slightly different..
like for example, when i tried to put Astraea hand onto Exia Dark Matter shoulder piece, it would be too tight, while combining Exia Dark Matter hand piece into the Astraea should piece, it is kinda loose...

but being a noob and lack of proper tools (only got basic tools for assembling) sweat.gif ...the end result is not really what i wanted...guess need to read more and experiment...

learning process is fun...
too tight, trim it,
too loose, increase the thickness...

heheheh

yeah true true...
finding it more fun to mix around and assembling that one "unique" kit...
maybe i will be "sacrificing" some of the HGs, once i run out of space... laugh.gif
in the mean time, watch more video and learn more...

thanks!
now I know already the trick haha
this kit is really bad because reusing same joint with 2007'HG Exia
you can try kit bash use HG Transient Gundam, its basically HG Exia 2.0
*
yeah, that's why i bought the astraea...from online it looks the same, same joint and armor looks similar in many ways...
and astraea is one of my fav gundam deisgn///

honestly, planning to get that to transient to bash with another kit...
i'm really liking the backpack...
but is a little too "white" to my liking...
so most likely i be doing some painting on it when i kit bash...
