have you used the gloss top coat? In your experience is it a good choice over titanium finish to bring out the blingness?

I have not tried gloss coat over titanium finish, usually i use it for panel washing.
Imho, u can try it on a painted plastic spoon first? Else if your titanium finish is those out of e box parts, u can try gloss coating on e unwanted runners.

My 2 cents

no lah, this kit too much big surface to resist not spray canning it! Only the gun and minor detailing using paintbrush skill. most of my SDs are handpainted though.

hi pple, have some modeller's paints/sprays etc that i have no use for and would like to sell off. pls refer to my thread in bazaar.

Jialat, with the sales going on, always end up go HAG during the weekends. Recent gunpla related purchases And next year releases is not helping to curb my desires.

Nevertheless, decided to work on the Byarlant. Quite a relaxing build despite the seemingly technical limbs. Almost as good as the Sazabi in terms of hiding the nubs and seams. However, it's a sticker fest, like the Delta Kai. Thankfully masking this guy is not so bad, so no need to use the stickers.

One of the perks of kits not yet topcoated, can play around with:

By the way, is anyone else having problems with the 4th Gunpla Promo? At first the site link was invalid, now that they've fixed that, my codes are all incorrect. And what happened to my old Gundam.info account? Every new promotion must register new one? Lousy website service then, so much for giving "points" for every serial register

Koto SD Griffon with LED

Success!! Integrated a LED with magnetic on/off switch in this SD Griffon
Space was really tight but managed to fit an led, battery and the REED switch ALL in the Head

Inside the plastic capsule are a bunch of Neodymium magnet(earth magnets).


Followed instruction from here
