so far only tested the powder on alclad black base, appearance-wise looks similar to the chrome handle on my display cabinet side by side(very shiny)

Hi Guys I just came back from Korea. This is my first posting to this thread. I was disappointed at the taka sales today, that why I did not even buy any gunplas. The location in Korea. Seoul Station. hobby square. there is also Yong san station and I Park mall.

GUNPLA PARADISE close to yen prices. their mark up is not together with shipping price is not as high as SG, hence you can get merchant price. My suggestion for SG ppl is, go to nadedoum market (wrong spelling) change S$1 for 890won. because our sing dollars are strong currency, lets say if u change local sg shop will only give u 845 won.


MG wing pearl- S$60, MG Gundam- S$30, HG war limited S$27.

too bad i cannot check in or the airport staff will destroy my gunplas.

i do

you should start by spraying plain colour, learning how to control airflow, trigger control and paint consistrncy first. then you go more advance techniques and spray control
