hmm.. in here: http://www.dalong.net/review/sp/b_m100/p/mr100_mb0010.JPG

it shows the sticker being dipped into something before being stuck on. Any idea what that is?

That's what I had thought at first, but from the thickness that I observed from the pic, it does look more like the normal sticker. Hmm.. probly gonna send that pic to my cousin and get her to translate it for me.

To go Mooo with of course

Never watched Turn A before, but I got a feeling the cow's got something to with the storyline. Just like the little figurines of the 3 kids that comes with the MG ACGUY.

Seems that episode 8 of Turn A is titled "Laura's Cow"

8k yen is about RM224.56

Well, got both, but my preference is for the IWSP

Well, unless u're very very very very careful with a knife, its kinda difficult to get the same smooth effect as you would get if u're to sand, but sanding means painting lar...


Tamiya paint sucks! Although I do use them, I only use them as a mix with other paint types. When used on a 50/50 mix ratio with Citadel paints, they're fantastic for hand painting though. But when airbrushing, Tamiya tends to clog up the airbrush too easily.

My personal way of identifying acrylic paints is by the paint's weight, heavy or light. I prefer the heavy types, such as Citadel or Vallejo, which r mainly water based (for airbrushing, I thin them down with a mix of water + alcohol, for hand painting, just use water). The other type is the light type such as Tamiya, which is mainly acrylic thinner based.

Well, a conversion kit is a ermmm... a conversion kit

Reading through that page there, it looks like what they do is sell kits which u make use of to customize the model that you've got. Look at the one for the Strike for example, you'll see pics of both the standard MG Strike standing next to a converted one. Reading further down, it sez that you will still need to have your own MG Strike, as the original internal frame is still made use of. So I guess that this conversion kit here is just the outer armour of the Strike (but damn cool looking too lar!)

Hmm.. simple lining work, I guess u can start off with using the gundam markers. That should be a lot easier to handle compared to using a fine brush and mixing your own paint.

But anyways, check out this link:

Images 7 to 15 r pretty good tips.

yeah, but well, gotta consider as well that its not a mass production run like the normal kits r, and also the level of detail that's on the conversion stuff too

U know where the Digital Mall is?

Or u can just get one of those X-Acto knifes from Ace's hardware. I've been using those knives all this time

Normally applied after its all done, but depends also lar. If u're to look at that page with the tips that I posted earlier, you'll find that the application time can be done in a few stages.

For the application method, I prefer to use spray (either with an airbrush, or just use the canned types). But be a bit careful when u spray though, make sure that the weather is not humid, otherwise you'll end up with that dreaded frosting effect after application.

damn.. tough choice there on trying to decide which looks better. The girl or her qubeley..

Was there yesterday. Yeah, the only nice one's that modded PG Strike. Somehow it seems to me that compared to the previous years, the overall quality of the entrees this time is rather pathetic.

There was even this unpainted entry (just lining only).

Left over polycaps r pretty common. I've got quite a lot of those now

is that need to have the lit tak thingy on the box of the model still enforced?

well, I guess u can still get from Litt Tak, but just need to hunt abouts more at every single Jusco or Metrojaya. There's some decent prices at times, depending on the model and discounts too.

Well, Rm150 for the Aile would be a discount for those who does their shopping only at those department stores, and no not know of the existance of other alternate sources

well, with enough putty, why not?

My guess is that its something to offset fatique. Although they'll probly crash out like a zombie after that until they body can catch up with the needed rest.

hmm.. my guess would be probly black and white, aka Nu-Gundam colors. Although u can probly substitute it with the RE-GZ colors, but Amuro's most distinctive markings is that unicorn like crest. That one u can probly go and hunt down the sticker for it.

Painting pure white can be tough, so u might want to try for a very light gray instead, if u're going for the Nu-Gundam colors.

Actually, white primer is not really white. Its usually a light shade of gray, like for example, the Mr Surfacer ones. And well, primer is able to coat a black surface better than normal paint can.

Well, having a primer and having actual paint as the finishing does have its differences. Its kinda hard to describe, just something that u need to see the difference for yourself actually.

Furthermore, you're gonna have a hard time keeping the model clean if its just the primer as the finishing. Even dust might be harder to wipe off.
