today's weather is kinda warm, but topcoating still gives me a bit of a problem, issit singapore's humididty is too high?

the technique of spraying also affects the results.. you dont zhua the topcoat at one area and "flood"the part. try to go over it with multiple light coats. imho the effect will be better. flooding the part might also result in frosting even during a hot sunny day.

Oh man, these days I've ended up buying and buying without making. So, setting aside some time to just build, even if OOB, it still gave a satisfied feeling.

Out of the new purchases, started with the Sazabi, my first non EFSF [Or good guy] kit and damn, it's an amazing kit from Bandai. I didn't really know what reviews were raving about this kit initially until I started building mine.

It's big, it has enough details and gimmicks and most importantly, it did so well in hiding nub marks and seam lines that it makes me wonder why this is not the case for most other newer HGUC.

And speaking of upcoming kits, can't wait for this one:

Hell, to be honest, I'm tempted to order the RD MK-V, Xi and Silver Bullet =(
