FA ZZ that hand cannon is really tempting, but we all know ZZ gonna come up with 2.0 soon.

IMO if you want to collect 1 line, Z is the best, they have most of the AEUG suits in MG form. The titan suits are just too complex with those MAs.
*
Personally I think sentinel version of Fazz looks better the the ori flag color scheme Fazz, even if Fazz goin 2.0 pretty sure you're gonna spend loads because Fazz sentinel color scheme goin to be p bandai based on bandai behavior...

Really looking forward on how they goin to improve the kit! Even better maybe there will be a tryon mg?

most of us don't care about Sentinel, it's just a color difference and some minor difference, which doesn't really matter.

Don't think it's would be that simple this time around as you can see from the z gundam evolve p bandai versions for white unicorn, grey wolf and red snake there a bit extra on those...

There's middle man that will forward your parcel with a charge.

I'm still figuring how it's done in a cheaper way may be other sifu can't guide.

U r referring to those forwarder?

Ya i've tried to ask b4. It end up it's more expensive than buying locally. The price is cheaper in japan but after included the shipping + handling fee (mostly 30% of the item price). it
s still cheaper to buy locally. Unless u can't find it locally.
*
That's why I'm buying from mandarake, lots of old school stuff. Just checked out mg kyoshiro perfect gundam and gp02 off my wish list recently from there but the downside is shipment also quite killer but still cheaper than locally and importantly old stuff available...

But I missed the 1/100 scale xm-01 Den'an zon 2days ago for the 2nd time, darn...

Hey guys, starting to get into the MG line and not sure which one to get next? Could anyone recommend a good MG kit that's rm200 or below? Thanks! ^^
P.S. Alrdy hav a MG Unicorn

since you already had unicorn might as well try sinanju, other would be like astray red frame, and most of the early uc lines like rx78-2, zakus and also the 08 troops also under your budget.

if you are able to tolerate below rm300, ver ka series would be a no brainer for you to choose from...

I'm having paint crack problem.

1st time i use Nippon Pylox spray cans Matte White. It's Lacquer based.

I almost used up the 1st can so i got a 2nd can, i did 2 coats on the old can, then few hours i spray another coat with the new can, after 3 minutes i notice the areas especially flat & corners have lots of crack, the cracked lines seems have no paint at all on the surface.

I had the same problem before because i sprayed an acrylic layer then lacquer i though it's the problem, but this time it's fresh Lacquer over Lacquer and same issue happened.

Anyone know the cause? The crack is all over the place but somehow small parts are not effected, only parts with deep corners & flat surface suffer.
*
this only happens if the paint not fully dried and another layer put on top of it, different freshness of lacquer layer contracted differently during paint curing causing cracks.

need to confirm whether the layer is to thick to dry within hours?

some also argues can spray require dip in warm water and shake at least 30s to 1 min before spray but im an ab painter so cant confirm that.

I don't know, previous batch where i spray lacquer on top of acrylic, same batch, i notice the later ones i sprayed all had cracks, and the time gap is only less than 1 minute. Never had issues with spray cans until i used this Nippon can coz i saw it in Ace Hardware, the Mr.DIY ones are too diluted so can't cover the base color. Regret, i used NOW cans witch cost rm15.xx no issue. I guess pay peanuts get banana.

I sprayed the same way i did before than, only difference is i switch to newer can (should be same stock batch). The older can feels diluted near the bottom. I don't think paint not fully dry is the main issue since i've been doing the same thing. I did spray at good distance.
*
seem like some stock issues there, then have to test it out 1st before really spray on the kit and work out a way if you still want to continue using it.

spray it on bare plastic no issue, issue only coats after, and result is inconsistent, some crack some don't.

now the only explanation i can think of is there might be some inconsistency of lacquer thinner on both coats, but i do have to ask recently malaysia kinda rains a lot. are you doing your spray paint before or after rain? coz this kinda screw your paint works too...

I spray just now 3-4pm, don't think it rained. I sprayed on another batch of bare plastic but don't have cracking issue, only happens when there's already painted.

i can understand mixture may be different but still cracking so much something must have gone wrong. because i have done even wetter coats on coats before and i get glossy finish not cracks.

anyway any good cheap way to remove the cracked paints? mr.thinner too expensive to use like this, normal thinner also difficult to wipe and damages the plastic. do lighter fluid work?

PS. The Crack happened on both cans in different situation:

1.3 parts cracked after spraying the lacquer on acrylic coat, rest same method but no crack.
2.cracked after spraying a new can of same brand/type after previous coat.

I then tried mist coat from very far, i guess it's not thick enough to do damage, but i kept quite a distance and the coat wasn't that thick for those cracked. And strange part is some crack some don't and seems the shape of the parts have consistency either that or the paint changed it's characteristic in between.

I use my china brand thinner but you can try general purpose thinner and use brush to brush the coat off with general purpose thinner stroke by stroke.

any reliable brand, the kshatriya stickers is an eye sore to me, but i can't find any white marker to draw those line :/

another question...is it a must to reverse wash sinanju gold trim?
cant be execute with gold sharpie + zippo fluid?
*
reverse wash works like followed:

put stronger type paint like lacquer in gold color as a base
put weaker type paint like enamel in black color as top coat
use zippo or enamel thinner to wipe off the weaker enamel black that is reachable (for you case is the protruded gold marking) to wash off enamel black leaving the stronger lacquer gold color and the unreachable black remained.

so if you intend to improvise the reverse wash to other material or method main thing require is
1) a strong and another weaker type of paint that can be wash away without damaging the strong paint
2) a desired protruded surface that you can wash off with else you will ended up alternate weather effect

i mean if i use sharpie and then zippo to clean the excess instead of reverse wash, will it be achievable?

thats why need to know sharpie ink base and whether zippo is strong enough else need to try other thinners...

below are ways of removing sharpie but not sure suit your purpose here or not:
