Guys, need help. I accidentally put Mr cement deluxe on the wrong parts, how can I remove it so the parts can be taken apart again?

Oh and it's the last Premium box-art box, so why not? tongue.gif

Yes u can, they just want proof of purchase with receipt n littak logo. Technically u can just go buy some cheap rm30 builder parts n masuk with any kits from any yr.
*
Meaning have to b purchased from lintak only?

Most kits sold here in shops are distributed by Litt Tak. Just take a look at the side of the box and there should be Litt Tak sticker.

u nid to cutout the littak sticker from the box, only purchase with littak logo sticker accompanied by receipt is valid.

u dont nid to go littak to buy it, get any builder parts like this from Aeon, roughly rm30. Just check for the Littak logo somewhere near the box barcode at the side.

Oh ok thanks. One n a half month to go. Hopefully I can finish my RG in time for the new challenger category

By right they would also ask for the respective barcode from the box, but usually they won't for straight build or light mod.

Every box produced by Bandai has a barcode. Just so you know what to look for. Yellow is Litt Tak sticker, red is barcode printed on the box itself.

Even the cheap RM15 IBO weapon set has it (it's actually a global trade requirement to have barcode).

use a really sharp & thin kinfe and cut the parts from the cement area slowly and carefully. then you can pry open the parts if there is any opening area. you probably damage the peg & surface so sand & putty.

nvm d, i will use tht leg as experiment for weathering n battle damage as i need to get another box for the receipt smile.gif

depends how you want to transport the kits.

if 1 piece then everything has to fix with metal pole and glue tight. even the joints have to glue once you decided on the posture.

if separate you just need metal poles, plug them in when display, best is if the base has groove in to fit the contact area like how they do it for statues.

unless you have LED, then you have to carry in 1 piece.

if it's normal standing, 2 metal poles on 1 foot & 1 on the other will ensure they won't move after setting up.

im planning on just making a simple diorama with grass and sand then pose my gundam onto it. the pose will b simple not complicated so the joints should be fine without gluing. just wan to let it stay on the diorama base permanently

QUOTE(advocado @ Aug 22 2017, 09:53 AM)
think about it. if you can fix the legs, you can just buy a different kit.
*
well the pose im thinking about doesnt really need me to fix the leg to b honest as tht leg wont b moving much. im just thinking of getting the same kit in case i screw up anything. i hv about 1 1/2 month to learn quite a lot from building gunpla to making simple diorama.

between, for GBWC, i just bring the form, receipt and my gunpla to litt tak in order to participate? the online and on-site are two different things?

Hi all, I just got "approval" from my wife that I am allowed to buy gundam during japan trip next year.  rclxm9.gif

Just need to check with you guys, not sure whether you guys know this or not. I will just give it a shot.

1) The best place to purchase Gundam is in yodobashi, right?

2) Is the price of the model a lot cheaper than purchase in Malaysia? I plan to buy entire SEED MG model series in one shot.

3) Its been a long time since I had my own gundam since 5 years ago. Any recommended model to buy? Only interested in 1/100MG and 1/60 PG.

Thanks!

yodobashi the akiba branch hv the most choices, remember to bring ur passport so no need pay 8% tax. yes definitely cheaper than malaysia just hope u dun kena random custom check in malaysia

Just submit the form by mail, after that they will sms u the details like where n when to setup ur kits and when to take it back.

ok noted thanks.

guys im back with question, i just finish sanding n building the skirt part last night and the ball joints there r really loose. one touch and it might fall off, wats the best way to tighten it? i read some ppl use mr cement some use super glue but from my understanding, mr cement melt the plastic to hold it together wit another parts so super glue is a better choice if i wan to tighten it n still able to move it around?

You apply the cement or glue, let it dry before you attach it to the peg.

oh ok, thanks. i read so much comments on people saying RG rx-78-2 is flimsy but so far i built the legs and skirt, they seems fine to me hmm.gif
