You can, but it'll take a lot of effort and money like nazrul said. It really depends on the person's preference, skill and how many hours he is willing to spend on it. I've tried brush painting since last year till now, I am barely covering up the stroke lines LOL but it's a sense of pride when I do.

I think you learn different things while you do full brush paint and airbrush painting. But efficiency (whether materials or time) wise, I think airbrush wins any day.

@nazrul, YES, I would do that some day! It's a waste of time and money like you said but then again, I would be proud of my masterpiece when I do xD.

My bad, I've misunderstood your post. Well, again it's a matter of preference.

It's reasonable to assume that paint brush is only for small part because it's almost impossible to air brush small parts detailing. For big parts, due to the efficiency, it's logical that people will choose airbrushing. Hence, paint brush is only used for detailing small parts.

I disregard the efficiency though, pride of work xP.

LOL, that's one big mistake.

Welcome! =D... Which rg? XD

Not sure whether your pen old stock or not, but my pen works fine, easily erasable in the first 30secs? I think. Just use thumb only. Usually mistakes, I use cotton buds with thinner, it gets the job done.

It definitely is not normal.

Sorry buddy, i don't think there is any though =\.

Recently I've seen a few around, two in a facebook group, and g wing has it. I thought it was reproduced or something.



Just built this, can't resist!

Argh! What am I going to do with my mg Turn-A now! Can't they make it a separate release? T.T

Wohoo! Thanks for the update. I've waited for a long time for my Turn-A Gundam to have his wings xD.

Legit, bought from them once.

There's one china brand one. Not sure about the quality though.

Faster get it if you want, last item d.

Wow, didn't know people are actively finding buyers.

Anyone here knows anyone or anywhere that's selling HG GN Sword IV?

Dude! So many @.@. Any gn sword iv? XD

Ya, that's a lot. Is it for sale? xD

NOOOOOOOOO!

My hopes of getting GN IV is shattered

LOL, I can imagine chris saying.... " I am not selling"

Talking about nippers, I recommend G-temple (Plastic Nippers GT-01). I've not tried godhand or tamiya (I find the prices way too much and overrated) but G-temple is very sharp and fine thus giving it a clean cut. I got mine from Crux at RM50 (old stock). The cheapest I found now is in lowyat around RM60-70.

I've used mine for around half a year (Give or take 30-35-ish HG kits) or so, got some rust though since old stock.

I started near end of last year and let me say this, you won't be able to catch up LOL. Just enjoy the process bah.

I believe heally is talking about overpriced, not expensive. This hobby is expensive, yes. But one shouldn't be overcharged. I believe that's the point.

Heally,
The thing about official distributors is that they are huge. They need to stockpile, there is storage/warehouse cost.

Take gundam.my(not an official distributor) for example, their prices comparatively speaking is more expensive than local hobby shops. But i can understand the reason behind is because they need to store and it's a bigger operation (more employees, stocks going obsolete) comparatively. So i feel i am reasonably charged if i were to buy from them.

If you want cheaper products, then you got to act fast in local hobby shops before it goes out of stock. I believe everything is like this, high risk, high reward, low risk, low reward.

Ah I see, I didn't see so long back of the thread, my bad. No hard feelings. =D


Usually it'll take two weeks (That's the fastest I've seen) for local hobby shops to get models after it has been released. Have to wait lor, no choice. I think of it as give me time to save money XD. If you want it fast, then I suggest you avoid PO-ing with G-Wing and Gundam.my (They take a lot longer than other local hobby shops).

Which website do you go to? I am really curious o.0? I've never found a website that can offer me the same price (direct + shipping) with local pricing? Unless you get in bulks @.@

@jloi

Crux has some ridiculously cheap price for some products, but some products can be more expensive. Just do some research =D.

No one taking pictures?

How much did you get for tryon 3?
