Hi,

guncannon is this 1?

which area is the sale held? 3rd floor?

Yes 3rd floor Children & Toy Section. There's a Sale items area away from the usual Gunpla corner, right after u come up the escalator. Bought a Full Armor Gundam last Sat too!

Guys may I ask, I understand that top coat our gundam after painting is important to protect the paint itself, but, if we're using spray can (like gundam color spray can, tamiya color spray), do we still need to top coat it afterward?

Reason is... I notice when I use Mr. Color's dull top coat, the color use to change to much lighter, and sometime got a thin layer of white dust on top of it...

Yes, preferably to top coat after painting. To protect the paints, n slows the yellowing process.

The white dust u r toking abt is caused by frosting. Try to spray top coats on a sunny day, or after spraying leave it under a hot light.

Thanks for the advise! i noticed that use my thumb to rub on the frosting surface will help 'rub off' those frost salt...

However, I planned to use the tamiya 'Pearl White' to spray on my new gundam's amor plate (which looks very nice white color)

In such case, spraying top coat will definitely spoilt the color, what should I do?

Nice sd gun cannon, but the face of the rx... sumthing missing... the panel lines on the "Mouth vents" is missing? Looks.. weird without it.

actually what missing is the "SD cuteness"

look too "serious". try cover the body and it feels like a HG or PG

lol i purposely dont want it cute one le......


@heero ya that one too big liao, panel line it already but after flat coat it kinda fade out, should have painted over it with black paint. But it looks ok what, the gundam never got punch in the face till the nose blue black

 

[sliver0503]

After flat coat fade out?? Could it b due to frosting?

[Cleaver]

Pai say, what do you guys mean by the SD make it more cute and not cute?

Because I see the SD like dat is like dat mah, as I didn't see any mod.

Appreciate to share the method, as I got 1 SD also.

Thanks!

after see all the review... i duno if i shld get mg banshee or just the HG... look no different

1) depends?
2) do u like transformable gimmick?
3) do you have space constraints?
4) if you get both the hg banshee unicorn and hg banshee destroy, you still have $$ to go watch 3 movies
5) if you dun intend to use black light to shine on the destroy banshee 24/7, get the hgs
6) if get the mg, u can only at any one time, have one mode compared to getting both the banshee hg unicorn and destroy (with $$ to spare)






7) last but not least, when in doubt, get the mg and the 2 hgs banshee

my 7 cents
