P-Bandai SG has pre-order for PG Phenex at SG$550
if you have friends or family in SG, asking them to help order would be cheaper than buying from local sellers QUOTE(advocado @ Nov 17 2016, 04:42 PM) anyone used Mr.Color Lacquer Flat Clear Base as flat coat? Flat Clear Base is NOT a paint by itself, it's used to mix other gloss/semi-gloss paints to make them flatis it normal the whole bottle looks jellish? i used many acrylic flat bottles before they only become dry but not jellish. anyway they blended well with Mr.Color thinner but wondering: does flat coat change the outlook of the base color tone abit? like lighten the color slightly? For example Dark colors will look slightly lighter. |

general ric already explained it but to answer the last question, yeah, flat coating in general made the colors more lighter and using gloss coat will generally make it darker.

Understood, been using other glass display with similar problem, but i usually use the magnetic brush to dust them every 2 months, i bet removing dust from figma is much tedious than gunpla  |
