Wow, new thread already reached 5 pages. I missed a lot.

Waiting for PG phenex.

Nice weathering.

Depends on the model and where you buy.
Bigger model costs more.
Don't buy from supermarket, aeon, or toy r us. Those are 2 to 3 times the price.
If going to japan better get the rare ones as the normal version price here is only slightly higher compared to japan.

IBO kits are around RM50.
Most HG 1/144 kits around RM40 to RM80 for normal size.
Big size like Doven wolf, Kshatriya or FA unicorn max around RM120.
XL size like GP03 dendronium or Neo Zeong max around RM1000.

RG 1/144 starts around RM80 to RM120. RM160 tops for sinanju since it is big, glossy and shiny.

RE 100 starts around RM90 to RM165. Except for Nightingale. That stuff is a monster.
Normal 1/100 like wing units, the oo gundam or the seed/destiny/astray starts around RM100 to RM200.
MG 1/100 starts around RM130 and can go up till RM400. Except for Ball which is below RM100.

This list is mostly for normal release not the P-bandai items. And mixed data from observation in a period of 5 years. Thus not the latest. Except for the IBO kits.

It will hurt you if you don't be careful. The only advice which i just thought of is to wait until the series finish and then buy only the kits you want and finish building it first before buying another.
Normal release kits tends to get re-release and renewed design. So you can actually wait and just hope that Bandai don't stop the production or close shop.

Depends on what you will be doing and skill level.
Quick straight out off the box build without sanding the nubs usually takes less then 2 hours.

You can also use a nail clipper to remove the part.

Depends. Most MG have articulated fingers . If they carry big heavy weapons there a big chance that it'll just fall down. The weapon and palm have a piece of plastic that interconnects with each other but is prone to break if not very careful when detaching it. RG is much worse in this regard.
Also you are being too rough when you detach the machine gun for it to break.

The x1 fullcloth is nice but old and small. The mantel is heavy and limits articulation. There are a lot of small parts that can go missing if you are not careful. If it feels loose use cement to fix it unless you are planning to paint.

I mean the small non-moving part that might pop off. I don't remember much since i already sold mine a few years ago.

Nice work.

If still sticky try using zippo lighter fluid or rubbing alcohol.

Liquid nail polish not the file. Liquid nail polish will create a layer of something which i think is similar to acrylic. This makes the peg slightly thicker and fit the joint.

The FA unicorn is definitely heavy.

Nice work.
I thought your background was your bed sheet. Kikiki.

Welcome back to the hobby.

Change to safari toys or was it safari hobby...
I don't buy from them anymore.

Good. Latest MG you might like is the GM Sniper 2.

No need thinner but if i'm not mistaken they use water so may take longer time to dry.
