Hey thanks for replying, was just thinking that a gloss coat on the coloured parts would look good and the the white matt. But from your experience which coat works best, gloss or matt? I don't think I'm weathering this model but just wanna make it look less plastic

Not a pro here, for the white parts if you want your inner frame to be matt as well then i suggest you spray it as a whole (4 seperate limbs) . As for the coloured parts, i suggest you seprate them and spray, cause the gloss will affect your inner frame.

Btw why do you want half of the kit gloss and half of it matt? 0.0

Actually its personal preference i guess. Lol
Maybe you can try and show yours the result?

Avoid top coating at night, before raining and after raining.

too far...
if factor in MRT fare + travel time, hobby point (+20% forever discount) still cheapest for me. Unless HAG also have discount then go there hoot expensive kit.

bro mind to tell me which shop? I ask almost every shop (unless they closed) they simply throw a 'don't have' to me at the moment i show my rivets to them...

Those screws may not always be needed IMO, some is just like "insurance" for the joint, but not totally necessary. So you can judge urself if it is really needed. Just my 2 cents

I can't recall the name but it's on the top level, usually after I come from the escalator turn left and walk down(duno if they'll change the direction of the escalator though), just look around

its a shop selling leds and other small parts like resistors.....but they have a wide selection of screws/rivets...all packed in a small bag

and be sure to go early...usually those shops close before 7

u may try PC shops or hardware shops.

these r very small, chances of finding 1 not very high though.

hm... when I visited there last week, there's a shop with bunch of old uncles sitting outside chit chat and coffee. Ask the shop owner also said dun have. But that time most of the shop are closed... perhaps I miss that...

oh ya, may I asked, you mentioned you got your rivets there, is it for model kit or something else?

Thanks!
