Seriously dude. That RM 730 is considered cheaper than at release time back then due to current exchange rate.

Note to all:

POST Japan will be using a new shipping rate for ems starting june 2016. No info if it is cheaper or higher. Possibly higher.

Understand about the 1st batch priced around 780-790, but there's a recent price drop to 730-750
i mentioned 700 as the litt tak new store is having promotion, but no details given other than it is only limited to 50 units, if the promotion is still on i might try my luck this week end

Then keep the funnel decals. Put them on when you are confident. Other parts you can start building.
Someone here had a WIP for a year.... you can as well. laugh.gif

batmang, it's not going to be easy. You'll have to prime with the proper base, use the right metallic paint and it gets slightly more complicated if you're going to be shading as well (hell decide on which type you're comfortable with) and make sure you have the proper tools (airbrush, spray booth, mask, gloves, etc) and all that.

Spray cans could be easier, but you'll still need some protection.

Not sure why you quoted me, I'm not batmang
but I tried all 3 method, handpaint, spray can and airbrush

I can say airbrush win. Of course it does look complicated due you need to do proper way like cleaning the airbrush and do the thinning the paint, but the painting process is easier because you can control the airflow/pressure compared to spray can. Spray paint usually give you thick layer surface which is looks ugly, not to mention the "orange peel" effect which is make you waste extra time sanding back the kit and try to repaint again.

Handpaint is good if you want to paint small part like gundam eyes. Nobody want to waste time painting a big kit with handbrush, and brush stroke is always a problem too when you try to handbrush such big part.

Noted. Thanks for your advice.
On a side note.

Anybody tried this color scheme?

Achievable with spray can?  Any advice/sharing please?

I did this for commissioned work, it feel so dark but the owner want it that way, the gold color part is my idea so it will stand out a bit

and for spray can, yes you can replicate same gold color...
There is Bosny Gold selling at hardware shop for Rm11 but you cant top coat the gold because it will turned out as dull gold

Wanting the Banshee myself, but currently waiting for a better price. No rush since I just got in some unicorns so just wait patiently first. Plus I already bought a bunch of LED sets so no need the package that's appearing in that promotion.
