QUOTE(hutazi @ Jun 10 2019, 09:41 AM) hi sifus, any of you kept gundam in your cars? just finished an SD Zaku and wanted him as a dashboard ornament, would for the most part keep it out of direct sunlight. boleh ke? or will he melt or get even more SD... lol haha...I try before putting my SD shining gundam at my car dashboard with his signature pose one leg kicking.....then after some time the joint started to loose (might be because of sunlight exposure) and the leg now cannot be pose up again.....will loose and slowly fall down.......

QUOTE(hutazi @ Jun 10 2019, 03:33 PM) hahah sure the plastic deforming lah tu. but other than the loose parts, the color how? all faded? i put some matte topcoat but dunno if that protects anything. i just want him stand here i guess....
Color is still ok since shining gundam mostly is white color......but if ur zaku red color then might be faded color....... QUOTE(_ChAoS_ @ Jun 11 2019, 09:24 AM) Hmm, is it because the polycaps got weakened rather than the plastic itself melt? Melt might not be the right word to describe it... it more like degradation due to the uv rays from the sun. But that will happen after the discolouration... After the colour goes away, then the plastic hardens, then slowly cracks and shatters.. Yeap..I also think becoz the polycaps got weakened since the kits is quite old........
