haha, i'm gonna try a full-spray attempt on astray blue-frame 2nd L
mr.surfacer 1200 -> mr.color -> topcoat gloss -> water decals+lining -> topcoat flat-matt

btw, gundam marker not suitable for full coverage paint, its only gd for minor coloring like very small spots i guess...

So many coat, won't it make the joint harder to assemble?

erm, each coating only a thin layer sprayed fr 30-40cm, so it wont make any big differ i guess.

hand painting tends to be a lot more paint efficient. basically how I did my rx93 currently in progress is...

base color is gray: 50% Tamiya flat white, 50% citadel white + drop in Tamiya black until the mix turns gray.

dry brush white on top until I get the shade that I want.

Basically I mixed about 1/5 of the bottle of Tamiya and 1/5 of the citadel bottle. Still got 1/3 of that mix left over too. Basically, depending on how u do it, one bottle can last you quite a while.

now i am tempted to try it...

maybe will take a vacation from office for a few days just to try this out... gotta plan my leave...

thanx for all who answer my question, really helps. was imagining hiNU in a new color scheme. dats why i was asking paing questions...

now if i can find a way to replace all the decals i've applied on my older kit... i heard the decal are quite hard to find and also very expensive... rite? it comes for each model rite? or just a selected few?

Hi Nu has arrived in Malaysia.

I was at XL-SHOP Times SQ yesterday nite. They are selling it for RM298.

Diamond Comic Ebay Offer... HI NU GUNDAM

Strange. I also went to 6th floor sg wang ytd, (looking for gashapons) and I didn't see diamondcomic having any Hi Nu's on sale.

if i found this kind of thing in ebay, i'll try sending msg to the seller first, and asked if i can just COD from the shop without doing any online transaction.....

got cheap what...

But i dont think DC deal with COD,the boss wont layan..

Well, I got me Strike IWSP and Nu Gundam that way. Bid online, then COD at the shop the next day.

me also. and did it also with time machine.

sapa taknak duit...?

Haha..Becoz i tot DC boss hate customer..

ahaahhaa... all seller like only customer that brings money and buy stuff... look around cannot ma... have to buy...!!! ahahaha

dats why i switch into buying gundam online. reliable, cheap, send to ur door, or in my case to my office... ahahha...

cool now lets see if bro edi can match or not...

pictures of NOIR!!

I checked with Edison and he don't have the stock now and was unsure of getting new stock. Luckily, I checked Times Square (Graffiti Toys) today and there was one sitting there right in front of the counter area. I only saw one so I bought it! Thanks for all the help ^^
Hehe gonna give it to my godbro for his birthday~! Coz I went to his house and saw him surfing a Korean model kit site (dalong) (and btw he's Korean) and he showed me and said like this is so cool and stuff (the Strike Freedom Full Burst page).. so I think he'll like it.

Thank you again to everyone that helped me get it! Maybe I should start with model kits too xD

P.S. I've a question though. Is the back supposed to be empty and brown? I'd thought for something so expensive the packaging would include nice things on the back.. Sorry this is my first time buying a model kit..
