jokes aside,

RG Nu highly reviewed with very good scores, extra fin funnel need to buy, get HWS for more awesomeness
RG force impulse also good
pre-oder RG Hi Nu if you want something new

Finally moved to new place in Sibu. Renting a room atm so space limited. Does anyone know if there is such a service as "renting out airbrushes and the hood etc"? Im not sure the best terminology, but I'm keen on painting my Jesta (once it actually comes in stock) but i dont have the space for a air brush setup

EDIT: A friend suggested i try just getting a small-ish air brush and buy compressed air to use. and only use acrylic paint. Yay or nay? any to recommend?

Most KL hobby stores have places for you to rent their airbrush for free if you are a member.
Sibu i dont know but using small air compressor makes sense la

Apparently none here that offer that service. Do you happen to know what is a good setup for a small room? I was also told that I should only use acrylics because it's safer since I dont have a air filter?

Do you have any airbrush+ compressor to recommend?

Boss how small is small ? share a picture la . i would always recommend a proper spray booth, easier to clean up and also better ventilation

All i got is a table like this to work with

I was... actually thinking of using a cardboard box as my spray booth..

I would recommend this, and you can really use this for a long time. This spray booth is made of arcylic plastic and you can clean it very easily, eliminating the paint smell. (yes, you can clean with thinner) . This product design by GBWC Malaysia Champ Eric Yap .

PS - I dont sell this and i dont get commission also ah...

Surprisingly gunpla shortage in japan, as bandai struggles to keep up with demand

how many of you also collect Bandai Shokugan kits ? damn expensive and small but if customized well, it looks quite awesome. At least bigger than the new GUNDAM ARTIFACT series

Not gunpla but.... all the mobile weapons here are designed by from earlier gundam series... so you can see some inspiration to their design

Quite a few local sellers complained of stock allocation cut for last few months already... hopefully this kit can get enough stock for malaysia

Hi guys,
I am new to gunpla.. thanks to the current long MCO.
Wanna check with all the veteran here.
Is the MG Nu Gundam Ver Ka is a good built as of now in 2021?
Or should i go for the RG Nu Gundam instead?

Many thanks

Both are good. Newer kits will always be better, just like how a car from 2000 will not be as technologically advance as a car built in 2021. Gunplas are different and that's a reason why bandai is still reproducing kits from 20-30 years ago. Some people just like the design/looks of cetain kits.

Is the Gunpla shortage limited only to the Nightingale or all Gunpla kits?
*
there's an overall shortage but the high demand for nightingale made it worse. From MSRP 7,700 Yen people scalp up to 16,000 yen lol....

Looks like Hobby Japan don't fuck around with matters like this.

"Hobby Japan Disciplinary Action Announced for their editors on "Resale Acceptance"

I have higher respect now for the folks at @HobbyJapan_MAG

That editor sure kena boom kaw kaw by gunplayer around.

Anyway... how did you guys tahan with rg. I only build 2 early RG but with my chubby hand... arghhhh its hard.

RG kits are awesome. I used to only build MG kits but when RG came out, it totally changed my mine. The level of detail on a 1/144 is just amazing

building RG imo is still ok, but those tiny stickers even with tweezers are hard

why do you think so many pro gunpla builders use big magnifying glass when building/detailing the gunplas? time to invest into one... it will make your life so much easier
