QUOTE(kucingmainan @ Apr 9 2015, 07:49 PM) I mean building mg knda too much for my skill. Hg machiam abit too easy. I dont dare build rg. Part to small. i think actly is the same. just that the part is much more on mg than hg. rg is challenging due to their fragile part lol QUOTE(Lurker @ Apr 9 2015, 08:04 PM) Went to time machine to buy Mr hobby cement, asked the seller between Mr hobby cementS and tamiya thin cement which is better for fixing broken parts. He with a uninterested face tell me why waste time fixing, it's going to break again. All the while he is busy panel lining a mg destiny. *damn good customer service* Good to be frank and save my money heard too much *damn good customer service* from time machine.. haha choice also few. seldom go in there

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Jun 9 2015, 05:10 PM) if the packaging is small n not too expensive, u may not need to pay. its luck really, if the officer beh song that day then small small item also kena. just keep this mentality in mind, everytime u buy something from overseas prepare to pay the tax, if u manage to avoid it then consider it as bonus. as for how to pay: when u go collect ur stuff from kastam the officer will tell u how much. Yes u heard me right, u nid go collect it urself (unless u appoint runner which is a separate cost all together). Now u c the hassle? All the time wasted going there dealing with them. how about those local hobby shops... are they taking stock directly from bandai japan too? just like litt tak?

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Jul 2 2015, 09:37 AM) the good thing with marker is if u screw up u can easily start over, wipe it off, sand it off, thinner it off, etc. Or u can just go over it again, u don hav to worry if the gold spill over to other places since the surrounding gold trim on sinanju is black anyway (except on the shield) u can easily cover it back with ur lining marker. If the marker paint already dry on the part, are we still able to remove it with thinner? I might redo some parts. Eyesore looking at it. One really bad tht i encountered, i broke the side leg thruster piece joint. Dayum

QUOTE(heally82 @ Jul 2 2015, 12:12 PM) it is best advised to use 2000 or 2500 grade paper to gradually sand them off, remove it with thinner also can but handle it with care as some lacquer thinner tends to be stronger depends on brand. these strong lacquer thinner will melt your piece. i use xunin lacquer thinner to clean my pieces that wanted to redo painting, i just dip it and brushes it and dry it using normal cloth. all these was done with 1 to 2 minutes, heard lots of people put it in a container with thinner ended up parts melted or deform. QUOTE(TheEvilMan @ Jul 2 2015, 12:15 PM) for sinanju case, if i use the market for the gold trims, and use 2000 sand paper to sand those errors and extra paint, will it work, since i believe that black surface is much easier to work on as u guys suggested QUOTE(General_Nic @ Jul 2 2015, 12:36 PM) if you're only painting the gold lining on bare plastic, just use an art knife to scrape off the excess Thanks guys!!

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 Articulation wise which one u guys prefer v3 no doubt is great in term of details and articulation. but i dislike the 3.0 hand. it looks big and fat on it. and v3 seems not sturdy. (nt my preference)

QUOTE(TheEvilMan @ Jul 21 2015, 11:39 AM) Thanks for the detail info Guess i might ask the COD seller that sell me PG Unicorn and Nu Ver.ka, remember he mentioned that he still have stock and price at 315 (same as Gamers Arena), his price is quite on par with gamers arena and good service too so perhaps that's the most convenient way to get a hold of Sazabi p.s: just pm him, reserved 1 unit to be picked up next mth  now asking if he has the effect parts which release this month? jz happened to see 2 online sellers are selling sazabi ver ka ystdy. rm260 and rm280 respectively

QUOTE(TheEvilMan @ Jul 23 2015, 12:21 PM) The only Gundam I like from 00 is Exia, the 7 sword concept is cool and not too overpowered, the trans-am design is nice too similar to strike and astray they don't look too unreal with heaps of gadgets like Strike Freedom or Wing Custom, but still...too much UC cool stuff to collect so those will always be put on pending list  Btw, Turn-A and G-reconguista is actually part of UC saga in a way, tho i myself doesn't like it either same here. love the exia's design. but not for oo raiser. the face of oo raiser looks weird for me. like a human face lol i hope for the release of g-self in MG. and see if it is nice and worth to buy. anyway i dont really watch gundam series, just a bit. i buy the kit as long the kit looks nice for me! and nice to display on shelves
