wow amazing, they didn't damage ur box at all... I have no faith to buy online for my collection items...

wow... beautiful...

bro....actually u dont have to worry buying from japan...i posted a lot, so far no problem..but this are handcarry

buying from japan I hardly have any issues especially from reputed website
their packaging are quite nice and secure

The only time i have issue is from Mandarake, their box does not have tough edges, and some the box kinda damaged when it arrived but the content is safe since they use a lot of padding.

wow cool. i might consider to order a few hehe...

I used to buy toys from Mandarake and I think out of all the time I bought something from them, I only encountered damaged box once but it never happened again.

Sometimes, you will be suprised with the amount of Padding they use.

hmm thats cool, then i might try to buy stuff from japan too hehe... any idea about local online store? their packaging good also ? coz i buy stuff from china/malaysia, end up my box always damaged. hate pos laju, even dmg one of my pewter cup... bought 1 pair, ended up 1 ok and the other 1 dmg and out of shape.

If using poslaju, you need to have bigger box and a lot of padding.

yeah pos laju sux.

Yeah. Too many parcels, few officers, bad sorting equipment. Lol.

My rating on their box and padding

AmiAmi: Very strong, they have so few padding only on top and bottom and the box fit the product just nice yet it does not dent when it reach u

NipponYasan: Box quite tough but u will see dent on the box, the product is safe

HobbySearch: Box is ok, but they put padding on every area to ensure product is 100% safe, but in return they charge u slightly higher shipping fees if I recall

Mandarake: Box very weak but have a lot of padding, might cause damage if using Poslaju? I try both Poslaju and DHL, DHL ensure ur box is in mint condition when they reach u

pro ! i wanna ask i wanna make some diorama with military soldier ...and my gundam size is 1/144 which military size i need to use ? 1/35 or 1/72 ?

thank q

Use 1/144. Yes, they hardly exist.
The 'size' is the measurement ratio (scale) of the model over the 'real' item.
For example if you are making a klcc model at a scale of 1/100 of the real klcc, you'll need to multiply the measurements by 1/100. If the real items height is 140 meters, then a model at 1/100 scale will have a height of 0.14 meters.

i didnt make those military ppl ..i just wanna buy and put with my 1/144 gundam ...but im not sure which military size i should buy

any advice ?

maybe u can buy those 1/72 or something like tat to pair with ur PG1/60 la... but 1/70 with 1/44 gundam... i think that human already half the leg height of ur gundam liao lu. it snot wrong, but u will feel tat ur gundam become so small hehe.

eh i tot 1/72 is smaller then 1/35 ?

too bad barbatos only got 1/144 right now ..and im not in japan so i cant buy MG

yep 1/72 is smaller, but when u put it with ur gunpla. that 1/72 consider quite big, 144 human should be around 1~1.5cm only ba, but ur 1/72 might be around 3cm +- .... 144 gunpla if not mistaken is around 15 cm + -. ratio not really correct only, u can still do that hehe...

1/144 figure

If u are looking for people, I've seen some art shops that sell i think around 1/100 scale people that they use for architecture models
The scale might still be acceptable for 1/144 kits but u might have to paint them to have that military look
