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

I doubt it will melt.. but discoloration will happen very quickly.. if you use gundam markers on them, those will fade first..

thanks. ill shift it to a better spot so that itll be out of the sun for the most part. the discoloration im kinda ok with... treat it as weathering LOL. but just worried it will deform. will test it out and see how i guess.

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....... sweat.gif  sweat.gif

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.......
Yeap..I also think becoz the polycaps got weakened since the kits is quite old........

yah. i think i gonna try hang him from my rear view mirror. at least less sunlight and i still get to admire him. i think that would be the easiest as also hard to stand him up without gluing him to a non slip pad or somethin.
