Guys, any recommended website for me to purchase Gunpla? (in Malaysia)

Also, I plan to get the gunpla cutter knife and some panel paint in Japan. Will there be any custom clearance problem due to sharp cutter?

Thanks for the info. Just wanna check, how many bottle of panel paint I need to get for 3 PG and 6 MG? Also, I plan to repaint the strike freedom MG 1/100 puke gold to gold, will one bottle of gold paint enuf? Any recommended gold paint brand to get?

Thanks. I do not think I will be using air brush, most likely is just the Tamiya kind of line panel paint to dip the paint into the place and wipe it out.

Good timing for deepstrike out, just a right time for me to get it during Japan trip next month.

Maybe cheaper. I guess. Hehe

Hi guys, is there any recommended online gundam shop which is price reasonable? I only need to get those normal gundam version ( not those like mandrake type of rare model )

I need you guys expertise on the gunpla as I am going to start my gunpla build up after purchase quite a number of gundam from my Japan trip.

I bought these tools from Japan as well. These are based on the guide online via website or youtube.



For compound, I understand that the sequence is based on the smallest number to largest number.

The cutter is for cutting plastic.

The sand paper is to remove the nub significantly in sequence starting from the lowest number to the highest number. But I am not sure whether I got the correct sand paper or not

I will be getting the rest of the tool kit here.

Line Paneling Paint ( Brown, Grey and Black )
Hobby Knife ( Any recommendation? )
Tamiya Thinner ( For excessive line removal, is it necessary? )
Small Cutting Mat
Tamiya Gold Paint ( For strike freedom )

You guys can share the quantity I need to get to build the following number of gundam.

I have 2 PG, 9 MG and 2 RG to build.

May I know how long do I need to change the blades? The Tamiya Hobby Knife is kinda expensive. ( Around RM40 -RM60 )
Do you have any brand specific made of Japan? There are too many different brand of hobby knife outside. I tried to google NDT but I can't find anything.

What is IPA? What brand did you get for Thinner?

One question, I would like to paint inner frame of strike freedom to gold. Should I just get the spray paint of Tamiya or get the paint and apply it using brush?


Don't hammer me that I bought these normal model instead of mandrake.

PG - Gundam Unicorn, Gundam Unicorn Banshee
MG - Duel, Buster, Aegis, Justice, Unicorn Phenex, Freedom, Infinite Justice, Strike freedom, Providence
RG - Destiny, Unicorn Banshee

FYI. No issue getting through Singapore Custom.

After reading some topic regarding sanding. It seems like I bought wrong number of sandpaper. Instead of getting 400 and 600, I should get 800 and 2000. Lucky the sand paper is not expensive.

do you guys usually get the sand paper in bar or just one piece and cut it yourself?

Yeah, its impossible to make it really nice though. I remember 10 years ago when I built my 1/100MG, it only took me 3 days to finish built my 1/100MG. Now I just started the RG unicorn banshee, already 2 days and I am stll in legging portion.

Actually I have done it before but it was 10 years ago. So skill is a bit rusty. For sanding part, I'm getting use by using 800, 1000 and 2000 ( for glossy look ).
Just one question, I have the compound like I shown in the picture in previous post, should I apply the compound first then only start with water decals and line paneling? or vise versa?

Hi guys, I'm currently assembling 1/100 MG Unicorn Phenex. However I realized that the plastic underneath gold plated is actually white plastic. Hence all nubs are shown as white colour which make it really ugly. I read the user manual and it mentions we are recommended to put some gold color on the nubs.

But the problem is I am not sure which type of colour or items I should be getting. Worrying that the color I purchase might not even close to the actual gold plated color.

Has anyone done this before? Please share with me what kind of marker pen / paint I should be getting to fix this nubs issue.

Thanks for the advice. Yesterday I went hobby shop and purchase gold marker. after applied it, it looks better now. ( though as what you said, there is still colour difference but hard to notice it )

I really scare about sanding the nubs for this phenex gundam as the white colour will expose even more if I sand it too hard.

I straight purchase Daban MG Strike Freedom & Wings of Light after you showed this news. haha

Worry no more stocks.

But Daban Strike Freedom is quite popular, because of the MB alike which cost a bomb if its under Bandai.

But let see when Super Nova will be caught.

Guys, may I know whether it is possible to get premium bandai that was released before? Right now there is preorder for Perfect Strike Gundam with Coating.

But then I would prefer without coating edition which was released beginning of the year. ( Prefer to it coat myself hehe ).

I have a very bad experience with Gundam Unicorn Phenex already. Unless I repaint the entire kit, or else its not worth getting coating version.

Does it mean that MG Phenex Narrative also will get these kind of undergated? Or is it just for RG model?

But, I think I will get it though... I really love the perfect strike model. With the old kit, I watched the youtube that it is still possible but some parts need to be sacrifice in order to build all together in one.
