by the way, the custom made decals can get thru online... whistling.gif

the green, or rather teal used for dynames is a little bright/light. and the decals for all 4 models seems a tad bit overused, but other than that your models are pretty damn detailed. you used various color markers and airbrush + paint?

Ok back to gundam related stuff! The AF Hobby boss just imported some water decal for the OO gundam and minions! Price is around RM18! Oh and there is also Unicorn Water decal available! More expensive than HLJ RM5 but cut the mafan for us to order and wait for it to arrive!

yes i know you critic it...but that dynames already nice what doh.gif

its not his dynames la...it from some sifu work from other website
*
ah i see...

since he didnt mention (or did he?) i thought it was his. overall its still nice, cept it would be perfect if the teal/light green used was darker more to match to series' color.

my exia's still on its chest btw, hopefully monday i can get the legs/arms out so it could stand and not lie down like a deformed fetus XD

=edit=
just went to that sifu's site, his exia 1/60 is friggin awesome XD

normal decal are either sticker type or those scratch on type! Water Decal are Blue Color and u need to soak them in water first before u used it!
I prefer the Eric one! But the weapon is cool!
lol tat dude onli upload poisonous pic! So far i havent seen him post any stuff of his own!

blink.gif soak in water first? i take it its better than normal decals? like not noticeble compared to sticker decals? or just sticks better?

sweat.gif Ever bought those bubble gum and the plastic covered the gum have pictures on it? It's almost the same thing smile.gif You can rub those into your skins one....

But gundam decals I dunno ler.. I got Alex kit but haven't touch the decal yet... sweat.gif
*
i see, so its somewhat like a tatoo job then... ah that explains the price maybe, as it should be less obvious compared to stickers. i do plan to add some decals, though at a minimum, to add some details as im not gonna pain my gundams tongue.gif

and just plain like that with just panel linings seems a lil bland, i dont know, still too early to tell as i only got the chest done

any idea which shop around kl area got loads of this kinda stuffs? (decals/water decals alike)

yes
samueldecal.com - do custom made and also convert all those original MG sticker and dry transfer decal into water slide decal

HLJ and HS or any other toys shop bring decal one is the original water slide from bandai one
*
you mean they convert those original gundam stickers into water decals for improved looks? im browsing around their web and i cant see differenciated decal types (water/non-water). or by default they only sell water decals?

haha it is usual thing lah! Almost everyone here kena before! Buying expensive gundam! I already stop and stick to one shop this day!

By the way i think i would skip Trap gundam 1/100 and stick to the fatty and nadleeh 1/144! Since they have own weapon!

Added on April 7, 2008, 12:56 pm
yup water decal! Since HK ppl very picky they dun want lousy decal on their kits!
*
elaborate more on this please?

and i suppose your right heh, if your gonna go the extra length on decals prolly better to spend the few extra bucks for the best you can get

samuel only sell water slide decal
no other type

always remember this bloody deja vu thing

blue - water slide
green - glue sticker
white - dry transfer
*
sorry on the deja vu thing, but further explanation on blue/green/white thingies? (im assuming its about decals) been reading through the Q&A thread and the tutorial and found no answers thus far.

I mean i will skip NG1/100 Virtue! And go for the HG 1/144 Virtue and Nadleeh (2 separated kits)! The 1/144 Nadleeh also comes with weapon seen in the last 2 episode (the shield and the riffle)
*
ah i see...

and 1/100 scale and 1/144 scale around same price? due to the high grade vs non-grade?

this is the last of this type of question been answer here
wanna cont this type of question please ask at modelling thread...

Type of Deca

Water Slide - Blue - Need water to applied this type of decal and also the most nicest among other type. usually after been applied nicely the decal will look like it been painted on the model

Dry Transfer - Transparent/White - Usually comes with MG set along with sticker type decal. This decal need to be rub on the kit surface to apply.

Sticker/Glue Decal - Green - Most commonly comes with MGs and also sometimes HGs set. sticker type and can be directly apply on the kit

thanks for the answers thumbup.gif

no not for now! Maybe a year later!
This one rocks! I am so getting the Gundam Trap! Just forget about 1/100!
me also want this 3 MS!
wow lately collect too many HG liao!
*
i prefer to have my gundams as big as possible, thats why i go for the 1/100 over the HG 1/144 which obviously have more selections (overflags/thrones etc)

i would go for the 1/60 but afaik only exia is made into 1/60? and the rest are PG which isnt released yet, and even if it is, only the main gundams or just exia would made it. that and its too expensive or me ruining it (i dont paint/air brush/sandpaper/decals etc etc) by ruining its "perfection" in contrast to it being perfect grade.

astraea is not modded version of the gundam in Gundam OO it is their ancestor! This mecha was a mecha develop 15 years before the OO incident! Onli the Astraea Type F (the red one with sun glass) was a modified version and was put in line at the same time with the 4 OO units!

So conclusion is it is another MS and not a modded one! Or u may said Exia is the modded one of Astraea!
*
what about the other series Astraea? same deal?

ok a bit of info for u! The OO has total of 4 series running parallel! OO, OOV, OOP and OOF!
OO is the anime we watching! All their model kits is already launch by the end of June!
OOP the story tat has Astarea and is set 15 years before the incident!
OOV the same time line as the current OO but they are just supporter to help the CB team they dun show up! And this group are lead by the main character of OOF the gal with the scar on the face now (before that she is a loli CB pilot)
OOF set in the future and u get those giant backpack like Exia Avalache and the Throne Eins tat looks like a plane!

Darn so much for Bandai evil scheme of milking gunpla money!

im referring towards gundam seed for example, or was it called astray or w/e sleep.gif;
