Well it's just a matter of using the Titans mould and pouring in the same plastic, so there shouldn't be a problem with the AEUG version.

Anyway, good job by BANDAI here to release an improved version of the MKII. At least they are improving on design flaws.
CE lover loathes Astrays? The red, blue, and gold frames are so good-looking it could pwn most of GSD's uninspiring designs. Just to make things clear, Dreadnought is also an Astray according to Lowe (Astray X) while Delta Astray is a total joke.

Anyway, from a gunpla point of view, the 1/100 Astrays have MG-like articulations although the joints are quite loose and fragile. Especially for the blue frame where the backpack is too bulky to be posed. My blue frame had too many freak accidents due to posing - Broke the right arm, broke the pegs of the palms, broke the orange part which holds the dagger...

One last thing about Astrays... The torso is too small compared to the fat thighs. Not that it affects the articulation though. Oh yeah, the hole at the back of the torso for the backpack is too small and weak to support gigantic backpacks, hence affecting the model's ability to stand on it's own (unless you bend it slightly forward like a hunchback)... these are problems faced by my blue frame and my friend's Amatu.

i use this one for zoids.. dunno can use for gundams or not

Pilot Drawing Pen 0.1 DR blablabla

yea it will wear out due to wear and tear....
mind explaining on the surfacer i kinda a noob in making models... i dunno the high tech gadgets needed

surfacer there only left 1000 n 1200, otherwise, its jz for airspray if u wanted 500~1200.
its RM30 oso, topcoat is RM39 i guess.....or got "90cents".

andyxp:
Mr. Surfacer also got spray can
but I don't know which toy shop got sell it

wah u really like SF very much to spend tat much money on that kit.....

XL Shop is having sales now
20% off on the MG Crossbone FullCloth
original price is RM 198
after 20% discount is RM 158.40
but you've to buy another item with any value
you can buy the paint since it's 10% off now

Furthermore you can get to have lucky draw on instant cash rebate for every RM 100 spent
the rebate is range from RM 5 - 50
which means the worst case is you get RM 5 discount for your Crossbone FullCloth
so the final "most expensive" price will be RM 153.40

Hey guys.. Will i die if i Airbrush inside an aircond room?

which paint has better effect on gunpla? is it solvent based or water based

i planning to buy a few but i ain't sure which would produce the best effect

All of mine r currently done on water based acrylics (mix of Tamiya, Humbrol and Citadel). You'll need to experiment abouts to see what gives u better effects and so forth, as there's no one single correct way.

U wont die! Ur aircond will die first! The filter of the aircond may most likely be stuck first so dun worry! Wow Crossbone at RM153.4 not bad ehh!

May be going over to BTS today, since i broke my hobby used cutter! Get a replacement. Same time may check up the XL shop over there.

wonder how would SF look if i attach freedom's wings to it.....havta experiment wen i get my SF

1. yup, jz finished lining my SF MG arm units..... found out tat i cant rub da excessive lining on the gold frame which were sprayed v mr.color metallic gold.

2. not reli sure, my color stil kinda ok  (red on blue)

the gundam marker u guys using for lining is water based rite?

that should easily come off if u use ur hand aft a few secs u apply right....

we havta use special brushes or the normal ones in the shop can do?

the blue body gundam marker is oil-based i think..I'm using it..

I am not so good at Handbrushing but few other forumers here are damn pro!!!

hm, i dun dare to scrap LOL... means black body is water?

wow...u sounds so pro... erm, its fat
(go see my last post, i got include a pic of all da markers i use, spot da black body marker?)

oooo ic ic...haha... me oso kinda 'daringly" changing da sf color...
its my 1st gunpla n i'm doin tis n tat 

but u mz tell us wat u found out fr ur xperiment oh 

ok, spotted sumthing. u see my markers, there's a gey marker blue body v white cap one, its water-based (no wonder its flow r unstoppable). jz know tis when i read da words under da label n spotted da "water' word. 100% differ fr oil-based marker's words.

My COmpleted MG FREEDOM...took me about 4months to finish it...dun ask y 

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics...using my hp camera 2 take.

Will try make different pose to take pictures later when i got back my camera.

Cheers
