LR44 cost RM 2.50 or less for one... you can fit LR43, LR55, LR54, all have the same diameter with only a difference thickness, just add conductors to compensate for the difference.

QUOTE(raptor_cZn @ Aug 26 2008, 07:21 PM) The materials used for resin? Similar to cold cast? Cold cast is the method in which the meterial used for casting does not need extra extreme heat for solidifying like ceremics or backing clay. The chemical reaction by the liquid resins however are hot enough to cause blisters or melt plastic containers. Plasters could also be considered as cold-cast ... carbonate reaction with water (heat is also produced). Pure resin is simply plastic or polyethylene.. Polystone is Resin added with foreign materials like aluminate (hydrate) or silicate to make it more rock/stone like or more stiff but as a-down side more brittleThis post has been edited by BeastX: Aug 26 2008, 09:03 PM |

QUOTE(300078 @ Aug 26 2008, 09:01 PM) so why is cold cast mroe expensive? Is it becoz using such way to cast figure is more difficult and in the same time the quality is better? price of the material used.... PVC is a very cheap plastic, with PVC you have to pour it hot into the metal mould, dangerous if not in a factory setting. Casting using cold cast is easy, almost anyone can DYI with the materials.. the mould could be anything that could withstand up to 60 to 70C (resin reacting temperature) and does not react with the resins, mostly silicon is used as mould, but soft clay will also do...This post has been edited by BeastX: Aug 26 2008, 09:15 PM |

The preview of coloured prototype, however are available for some on the gathering version/section. |

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Aug 28 2008, 02:55 PM) Per purchase of RM 20, u will a get one point, represented as a sticker. When u bought things from XL the first time, they will give u a sticker book (where the sticker will be put) that valid for 2 years. You collect the points until certain amount in which later can be exchanged with items from their shop (every month different items IINM) Say RM100... 5 points?... or purchase of more that RM20 only... so even RM2000 only one point (or 100points)? Thanks...This post has been edited by BeastX: Aug 28 2008, 02:58 PM |

QUOTE(valho @ Aug 28 2008, 11:31 PM) more complicated then even a MG model kit haha, can rival PG kit also i think. Depending on resin kits, but usually they are very easy to build with 10 to 20 or so pieces, putty, sanding, fitting, painting is easy enough... PG kits however goes from 700 to 1000 pieces, much more time consuming and I have every bandai's PG kit except one.Bust are half-body figures, hence no legs  |

QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Aug 29 2008, 07:36 AM) Haha on most of PVC figure we buy, the eyes are decals IINM. That's why I think the only thing 100% consistent between the same PVC figure is the eye and add to that.... you can design your own eyes using photoshop... print them using ink-jet printers on printable decals and stick it to the resin fig... can be done with tattoos, flower designs... etc... |

Shunya's Non-non ver 2.0 (vs Japan's talent Mitsumasa-san) ... this is sculpted by Hobby Fan's "in-house sculptors?..."
looks like Non-non had implants enhancements.... or overexpression of hormon, or natural adult growth... or Mitsumasa-san gave her a cup "reduction".. based on Shunya Y-san's illustration (in spoiler)   » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by BeastX: Sep 11 2008, 05:17 PM |

QUOTE(Jereath @ Sep 14 2008, 10:36 AM) Wuu.. T-T Singapore have lots of places selling PVC/ploystone statues/figures.... one place in particular that I visited... China Square Central, CSC... prices maybe comparable to Malaysia's retail prices (expensive)... some cases, online is still cheaper (even with shipping)I don't like the idea of buying things online yet... (kinda creeps me out with all those keylogger and stuff) I also frequent to Singapore! I study there and I heard Suntech City sells a lot of anime-based items. End to end, I don't want to splurge on something over-price since I'm studying at Singapore using Ringgits.. haha -.- For now, I only got 2 gacha figurine. Cost RM12 each figurine. Made by Bandai and I think the quality is not so bad considering it the cheapest figurine. The height is as tall as a mug. If I got time I'll snap some picture and let you all see ^^'' This post has been edited by BeastX: Sep 14 2008, 12:52 PM |
