decals printed by Samuel are not pre-cut, those pre-cut are China 3rd party brands
search for Samueldecal in Facebook

I got rx78 dock in Hong Kong version.
All the same with RG rx78, they just include decal "Gundam Dock in Hong Kong" and a flat board that got a world view decal.
So i think should be the same with just dungam dock in Singapore decal.
Don't know the price but not that worth i feel if the price is higher then normal RG.
*
Don't really plan to get the RG Gundamdock due to higher price and also nothing unusual. I more interested on d 50SG ver.

QUOTE(Terbulance @ Jun 6 2015, 04:39 PM)
Didn't even see one cosplayer there sweat.gif
The price is around the same as what you can get locally, or more expensive. Eg. MG Sazabi Version Ka is SGD299 shocking.gif

Sorry to say I'm not familiar with old kits cause I just got back on building gunpla few months back.
*
I know right friend show me some SD kits photos and I saw it cost 14SGD where here can get for RM20-22

Thanks! will check out this site since this is my first time see this. Mostly people recommend gwing or JShobby

QUOTE(KayK @ Jun 9 2015, 05:27 PM)
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
*
I check my whatsapp msg again, my bad it is RM169 from GA.
The only recent HG i had are Build Burning and Star Winning (if this consider).
I love how flexible Build Burning in doing extreme pose. Probably coz no backpack and is very light in general. Overall, I am happy wih the HG I had (I am more to MG guy).

But Tryon and Dryon is very tempting for me now drool.gif
High chance I'll paint and scribe details on Tryon if i ever get 1

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.
*
I am aware with Gundam price since I look here and there biggrin.gif
but yea I seen some of Gundam I want in list and tempting PO with it adi
Dryon, Versal Knight and Kurenei Musha Amazing. Ohh my money

Was very tempted when i first saw Drion 3.
But after looking at Tyon 3 runner, i don't think it is worth as most likely the all runner is black and the gold part is just sticker.
Only the horn look bad arse..

thats why the other side of my heart feel like I rather buy normal Tryon and paint it black laugh.gif but yea, no awesome horn..

how long does it take topcoat from tamiya or mr hobby to dry or at least safe to work (put on decals, stickers etc)

is half a day sufficient or should i wait one full day before moving on to decaling?

isn't we need a layer of coat before decal to make sure the surface is flat and smooth, then a layer to seal the decal?
*
mm i wasn't aware of this. I just put decal + mr mark setter then finally top coat after confirm everything is good.

i think it's optional, but what i did usually is a heavy, thick layer of coat before decaling, then a mist spray to seal it, since i'm using semi gloss, too much of it might blur out the decal so i will do the heavy spray beforehand biggrin.gif

so any idea how long does topcoat take to dry/cure by average?
*
i using semi gloss too XD
anyway I don't think topcoat take long to dry. Usually I spray and leave it under sun for 10 min and it is good

probably sifus here can verify it notworthy.gif
