I was there earlier at around 4 pm, it looks like it was restocked. You are referring to the limited edition clear MG, right?

Based on the Expo kit poster on Litt Tak's page (https://www.facebook.com/litttaksdnbhd/photos/a.507421612617238/3687777804581587/?type=3&theater), all the Expo kits were in stock (some were freshly restocked at the time) except for
HG Gundam Astaroth (its possible I couldn't recognize the kit, I wasn't looking for it)
MG ZZ Gundam Ver. Ka.

The poster although states that the price is in $, is actually RM. For example, although the poster says the green Haro is $20, it is actually priced at the Expo as RM 20.

Ya, was referring to the limited edition.

Went there Thursday morning at 10am, they only put one on the rack, straightaway pick it up and bought it biggrin.gif

They did say it will be restocked in the afternoon but I can't stay there the whole day waiting for it sweat.gif

Hi everyone , slightly out of the topic here. Do any sifus here have IKEA detolf shelves for displaying your gundams? i have some issues with the led placement, what products do you guys use for the shelf's lightning? Saw some modelers uses IKEA's dioder but its already discontinued in Malaysia.

Bought a LED Yeelight strip but i dont know how exactly i am gonna split this led into four different strips with appropriate connectors/ cable splitter... can anyone guide me?

Hi guys, was wondering whether there's any one in Subang and Petaling Jaya that provides building, painting and repairing commission work for Gunpla and metal build models (paint repairs)

have a few MG/PG needing someone to customise, and 1-2 metal build units needing some minor color repair.

Apologies in advance if I've posted in the wrong thread bangwall.gif

Appreciate the help!

Hello, First off.
Merry Christmas everyone smile.gif .

So, I'm thinking about coming back to Gunpla building for some period of time.
but this time i will paint the missing paint color draw panal line and definately no more stickers. No plan for air brush.
just the basics, just HGs, nothing big mod.
i have watch some youtube tutorial videos, but there still some question.

i hope i can get some advise from the veteren.


can i use ordinary nipper from the hardware store, instead of Hobby Nipper?

Can i use Hardware store's sandpaper? is there any different from using wood sandpaper and use metal sandpaper?

since i'm just painting the missing color, would gundam marker suitable for me?

can i use those masking tape from the stationary shop?

does spraying matte coating smells? i haven't found a proper area to spray them. i fear i would offend the neighbourhood.
or maybe i'll leave it no coating.

is there a difference if i order from Gundam.my or Shoppe's Gundam.my? i have very little experience buying things online.

Thank you.

In the long run, a branded 1 will get you far far away (more model kits to build). No need to go as far as to the best you can get but a good nipper do you better when cutting parts out, ordinary 1 has that shape that blocks you from cutting parts out especially in smaller runners

Can i use Hardware store's sandpaper?

Yes, as long as you know the roughness for it.

Is there any different from using wood sandpaper and use metal sandpaper?
maybe other forumer can answer for that. i didn't even knew there is other kinds of sandpaper.

since i'm just painting the missing color, would gundam marker suitable for me?

Yes, im a marker user myself. but get yourself a small and large brush depending on the surface size you're painting.

can i use those masking tape from the stationary shop?

Yes, but check glue on it. some masking tape have residual "gam" when removing. try a few (on the runner, not the parts), see whats best for your.

does spraying matte coating smells? i haven't found a proper area to spray them. i fear i would offend the neighbourhood.
or maybe i'll leave it no coating.

maybe other forumer can answer for that

shopee got cheaper vouchers and sometimes free shipping? i've bought something from their shopee store as well.

Thank you gaiachronicler, notworthy.gif

there one more question i forgot to ask,

about panel lines, can i use the lighter oil to erase the excessive panel line ink.

The tin is yellow colour with red letter, think its name Amcor Oil.
some art student claim it can help erase some black lining in their art.

i wouldn't use it as thinner for the colors. Since its gundam marker, shouldn't be needing it?

or the model thinner is able to use for both function, erase excessive panel line AND thin the colour?
