QUOTE(ho1286 @ Dec 8 2016, 08:44 AM) Yeah true, those price not seems to be cheap, they just want to clear old stock with price still higher than outside shop. But the thing I can't understand what's different between buy from Litt tat and outside shop? Other than the seal box? Because still many ppl buy with litt tat with those high price? Last year IPC Gbwc I saw one uncle proudly snatched unicorn and banshee pg without researching the price This post has been edited by TheEvilMan: Dec 8 2016, 08:48 AM

QUOTE(Cactite @ Dec 12 2016, 09:24 AM) Seriously doubt it. Sazabi Ver Ka takes up half the shelf, as I was trying to pose it and Nu fighting in 1 shelf, and it did go in but just barely with Nu. That tank won't fit, but if you take it off it might fit while taking up the full shelf. yea have to take off the large tank if it doesn't fit, looking at various glass display and also the kallax cupboard, detolf still looks better than the rest especially when u can view the gunpla from all angles

QUOTE(sheemmet @ Dec 14 2016, 10:29 PM) interested in getting a basic one to start with , saw RX-78-2 quite interesting which version 3.0 can be slightly tedious to build with lots of small parts and stickers origin seems to be simple build but lack the detail of 3.0

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Dec 19 2016, 11:44 AM) 1. Dry transfer is a pain in the ass, the bigger they are the harder to get it right. Its the easiest among the 4 types of decals/stickers to be ruined while applying. Look up tutorial in youtube to c how u can apply this. 2. Depends. Top coat has 3 kinds of finishes, gloss, semi gloss, and flat. The optimum surface to panel lining and decaling is gloss, if u plan to apply it straight on to bare plastic u dun nid to coat anything beforehand cuz gunpla bare plastic is gloss enough to begin with. If u prime, paint or sand ur kit then u should gloss coat it 1st before panel lining and decaling. At any rate, u must coat it after panel lining and decaling with whatever finishing coat u wan. bare plastic --> panel line / decals --> whatever finishing coat u wan bare plastic --> sand / prime / paint --> gloss coat --> panel line / decals --> whatever finishing coat u wan Of cuz the above is the optimum way of doing things, its kinda time consuming and cost alot to do so. I kinda take shortcut whenever i can, up to u to experiment on where u wan to take shortcuts. Saw a debate that gloss used for water decal to avoid air bubbles going in between decals compare to matte, but is semi-gloss alright for water decals as it didn't get mentioned in the debate i read

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Dec 19 2016, 02:16 PM) I've done countless water slide decals on all sorts of surface smoothness, I can tell you it doesn't matter. i use semi gloss all the time and it does work but realise the large decal might something have small silver/grey spot, which is what mentioned in the debate, but can sometime get rid of it with mark softer, only the really large one (usually those marking on shoulder with logo) is harder

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Dec 19 2016, 06:28 PM) I rarely use Mr.Mark Softer as I find Mr.Mark Setter is more than enough to do the job right. so no silvering/greying issue on the decals? something like this on the wording 0823 This post has been edited by TheEvilMan: Dec 19 2016, 07:22 PM

QUOTE(limfreelance @ Dec 20 2016, 08:51 AM) that one is decal paper quality. this type of decal is old (store too long) & low quality, it need to dim very long time in water baru boleh kluar. my old decal have this issue..but the latest decal dont have this issue. make sense now since the problem only appear when i'm using 3rd party decals, which is lower in grade

QUOTE(ktfong @ Dec 28 2016, 03:47 PM) Not sure about zaku. I built MG 00 7swords and RG 00 raiser. I have to say MG is more complex than RG in my case. The legs itself is different or i should say more mechanics. The only difficulties for me in building a RG is assembling the tiny little parts and applying tiny little stickers... Agree with u Try pg once, addicted but always feel empty since it's very selective and only a few mech from one series RG is nice but very wobbly and weak joint Still mainly collecting MG for it provide the best scale and also complexity in details
