Easy build, but when you paint & putty it becomes as difficult as 1/144.

just like how 0083 is overpowered even comparing with later era series.

You need to quote people properly.

that also does not count in the 6% gst and the ever thirsty custom waiting to suck your blood when they saw big parcel with high declare value...

GST from Japan or Malaysia? because overseas sales from Japan are not subject to the tax over there.

For local, obviously big parcel raises attention. And i'm not saying it's worth shipping big items via EMS & DHL even though it's same price or cheaper than SAL, merely saying big items are cheaper to send via EMS/DHL, it can cost 5000-10000yen just to ship, and unless you are making lots of saving or something rare it's not so worth it. but those are really really big items. So far i've only purchase 1 such item, size of box is like those DIY packed cabinet in Jusco.

back to topic la

gst of coz from malaysia la, all items above rm500 will have 6% tax incurred from custom i dont think you can get any pg worth ship for lower than rm500 unless you like zaku rx78 a lot.

by the way i tot sal small parcel only valid to all below 2kg things so even ver ka sazabi cant ship with sal, not to say cheaper to send ems/dhl but just that it is the only way to ship bigger items...

just to relate back to the topic

wip on shin dryon drei, though not much of customization based on my standard


continuation improvements on my perfect dark astray (astray kai+positron cannon +caledwtch)


seriously considering recolor this kit with detail touch up just to match up my newly bought gold water decals (another shout out gold metal sticker suck big time!! dont ever think to buy them!! they all fall off by time!!)

SAL Small packet has weight and dimension limit, but for the smaller zaku II size MG it fits.

Depends where you buy from it may look like above rm500, it may not. If you know what i mean.

For SAZABI, you can still ship via SAL, but it will be SAL Parcel, price wise will be slightly cheaper, same or more expensive than EMS/DHL. Even with EMS/DHL, sometimes 1 is cheaper than the other, I'm guessing the difference maybe SAL/EMS/DHL has different higher rates on dimension & weight on their calculation.

Even Pos Laju rates jump exponentially when i send Parcel to East Malaysia, it's like rm20 vs rm80, just because the box dimension is above certain limit, and when i say above it's like small Parcel size for SAL Parcel. Weight are both under 2kg. Cut throat. But buyer request Pos Laju because they say "WILL" get lost otherwise.

The Nightingale is finished.



I feel a bit disappointed by the design.
It is a brick, which I have already expected but not this bad.
For the hands they used those individual movable fingers with movable slab. The problem with those hands is that they are rather loose when holding heavy objects.
Posing the gun was hard as the hand rotates and shifts.
Articulation range are severely limited.
The mono-eye can rotate but you may require pliers to do so.

managed to get HG Barbatos so here is quick review
-runner got sidegate and undergate make cleaning nub easier, I just cut part from runner, remove the nub with hand and later clean it with sandpaper, no hassle
-'inner frame' made by PS not ABS plastic, way better and good looking, the sword and mace feel soft though
-articulation is so so, still can pose but fragile due to slim waist & piston
-C clip for mace and sword holder kinda shitty, cant hold well and got stress mark if you keep force it
-do it worth your buy? yes! totally recommend this kit, cheap price, easy to build even newbie also can make this

somewhat future project planned

Evil Pikachu Gundam?

Hi sifus', I'm new to gunpla. Can recommend to me a trustable with reasonable price online seller for gunpla in Malaysia?

I found gamersarena gives the best price most of the time but might need to check others like
Crux, gwing, jshobby just to confirm coz these seller sometime also have certain kits cheaper.

Lowyat garage sales section also sometime will have people selling cheap but only for certain kits.

Thx sifu.

For those of you that missed the plamo filled Gundam RX78-2 gathering, check out the video coverage from non other than Awesome Toys TV!!

with that head definitely looks better than this custom build

Guys, this might not be relevant here. But recently went back to gunpla...can recommend any good and value for price airbrush with compressor. want to learn airbrush technique.

Thanks guys

I guess barbatos 1/100 is kinda the same as re-1/100 line based on that logo

Yes, thought so.

The Gunpla expo hype is very, quiet, no?
