Nice.
can you also make a sketch with green color ?
We've seen white unicorn, black lion and gold phoenix.
Wondering if anyone would make a green dragon.

There's an alternative to alligator clips, use sticks with blutack.

that sound much easier to find, thanks!
i tried the smallest paper clip before but it took a lot of space sad.gif
i probably stick to bluetack since it's easy to find and anything happen can just dispose and replace thumbup.gif
addicted to gunpla already after building my Unicorn laugh.gif
very eager to start learning paint job (using spray 1st) and more towards detailing, planning to get some tamiya masking tape to do different paint on the same pieces

tried a few but either not selling in bulk or it come with wires/rubber protection
any recommended places, MR DIY have it?

How many you looking?
Usually hardware shop do sell them.
And yes it always come with the rubber, you have to remove them yourself.

Alternatively, if you can wait. you order from taobao.
I order 80 c/w stick, so far I only use 20.

not possible to do this
if you paint the psycho frame to purple it wont be like this
because the original psycho frame is clear red, it wont be purple if you spray on it
if you mean paint the solid purple color on it, it will lose the transparency, unless you want it like that

this is what i found and intended to do, something similar to damashii where they only paint it and not giving it a transparent effect

still figuring out how to make the purple stand out, since i can't see any metallic purple spray, coat it with pearl clear?

so its solid color then

Mr Hobby or Gaianotes have the said color

If you see the Bandai logo on the packaging, rest assured it's original.

There's a counterfeit version under the brand GaoGao.

It's not like Bandai changes the packaging every year. How can you tell it's the same box?

Buy online, there are many good websites. I personally prefer amiami.com due to cheaper price and freight cost.

If you buy only one kit, it's going to be more expensive when the kit is available locally. Purchasing 3-4 kits at once can offset the shipping cost and then they will be cheaper than local price.
