how many u order at once
i saw some selling at least 50 cubes, i only need the most 20 sweat.gif
and they don't write in specification that i have to order all 50 in one measurements, or i can pick and match
some does provide mix and match with pre-measurement but does not provide the actual photo
*
those are glass cubes not acrylic, solid glass.

Daiso sells the 7x7cm cube. but not all outlets. last time Puchong IOI mall sells them, also have round type. but make sure you check as some might have damages.

thanks!
as long as it solid and transparent and not expensive

to me it's expensive. rm5.30 for 1 cube, if you need 20, that's rm106. doubt you can find 20. maybe you can ask if they sell the whole box. then they have small sticker on each cube the gum very sticky.

usually sold near those display stuffs like hourglass.

cost more than the GX-64 though.

but to house the electronics it's not as detailed for the internals, no rotating hangar.

last time i planing to get the 1/500, but the problem is the jet hanger sell separately. so i give up & get 1/1000.
*
so urs is 1/1000? how long is it, either everything is so small you need a needle to paint, or the 1/350 is so big it eats up ur whole dining table.

True, that's why I don't bother buying online. Get it locally from whichever person has it the cheapest. And most of the time it's still slightly cheaper than getting it online + shipping.
*
is cheap if it's Zaku type box usually postage rm50-60. big box can't be shipped via SAL so has to be parcel/EMS so postage starts from rm100 onwards.

however i've shipped MG Marasai & Kamfer before using SAL. total cost rm150 & rm130, since it's sold out here.

Check here:

You probably looking at PU Foam. I got mine from shipping boxes. Don't mix up with those use to do sound insulation in studio, those cost a lot more.
If you want them free, visit furniture factory and ask for left over cut out from making sofa and bed insert.

better buy light color ones because dark color has the possibility of staining unless you put wrappers between sponge & item.

doesn't need to be neat, just wanna use it to surround those gunpla with water slide marking to protect them from scratches, might end up using frabric :/

just buy those flat tupperware long ones so can put many, stack a pillow or towel at bottom, put gundam on top, then cover them up. when carry just make sure the tupperware is flat. since just temporary for moving no need so much hassle cut out foams.

why is the new MG Unicorn Full Armor much more exp than older one? is it because it is Red not Green frame?

btw anyone have problem scratching painted kits?

I used Aqueos Flat Clear as top coat but still very easy scratched. especially those that can attach armor on.
