gunpla gathering usually dont use display case bro,
if you gunpla is too heavy cant stand on its own, go bring action base stand for display

you'll need to sand sand sand, then base coat and then if need be sand sand sand somemore n repeat if you want to remove the nubs completely.
and you'll end up with a completely grey or white kit, hence which the real fun begins.

gunpla in japan memang cheap.
bringing them boxes back is another matter altogether and...

... buying gunpla when in japan would be my last, absolute last priority.

Yes I agree on the manufacturing process, but again I said from a builder point of view is valueless, these kits strictly for collectors only...

Agree I only urge that everyone to be smart gunpla collector to push local seller to sell much more competitively. It's sad to see people buying like crazy at exhibition with cut throat prices. Also I hate how seller looked at us like sheeps.

well... been wanting to get my hands on a transparent blitz... and buat 'say cheese caught in action semi going invisible mode' by painting & spraying half of it.
also the value of money is different for everyone bah. ppl queue for ages to sapu property also icon_idea.gif

As for a WIP, well... here's one that's been terbengkalai for almost a year. Didn't want to fix the minimal seamlines cause i wanted to save time konon... RL got in the way but kinda inspired by you guys to at least finish it up. ABed most of the parts anyways, now left the outer potato armor and some weathering jer...

ps. if you are using semi metallics like gun metal gray, a layer of gloss before hibernation will do wonders if you are going to take forever to complete your gunpla sweat.gif

Re: Japan
Heard someone's going to Japan. Don't miss odaiba for the gft kits and merchandise. In the same building also visit the 7-11 on the LG floor at the end. They have the 7-11 exclusives there. I missed the unicorn one last year and this year's trip tak sempat pergi. In laws were tagging along sad.gif

But to be honest some of the gft kits macam not much different from the normal ones. I only got the mg 2.0 gft one cause it has that odaiba stand.

I like the white shinanju hybrid, can't remember what its called though.
And the high-nu.

Although my very first gundam back when I was in form 1 (over 20 years ago sweat.gif ) was a an SD Nu with some armor bits. Old timers here might remember it, it was the one with a launching mechanism in the backpack to shoot a funnel. laugh.gif

since gunplas have generally naik harga, the price difference between a decent starter AB compressor plus AB and an actual MG kit isn't that great anymore wor.

pretty good investment if you ask me.

Can do this easier then laugh.gif
Was really into SD when I first started out circa 2007 sweat.gif
If I had the time, I might be tempted to redo this by fixing the seamlines and using an enamel wash to panel line it instead.
