hi guys, I'm currently working on my Destiny Gundam Extreme Blast Mode and I notice whenever I remove the nubs on the chromed parts it leaves a very hideous pale grey mark behind. I've tried covering that up with a silver marker I got from my art classes in secondary school but those were different shades of silver. Any ideas how to deal with the chromed parts?

TIA :)

that is the problem with chrome kits, and unfortunately, there isnt much u can do. u can only make the mark less obvious by painting the mark with a similar color.

I PO from TFH. I didnt like the full expansion sets. I think it loook awful in the pyramid things. I rather have the full fin which makes it look like Hi-v version.

Nice! Btw, are u going to pre-order RD Ageis and RD ZZ Gundam?

I already PO Aegis x1 but I was too late for ZZ, Out of stock. No choice, got to buy the local exp ones lor.

My next incoming will be Altron, sandrock, aegis, sazabi & unicorn destroy (restock).

For those who have not gone to OG Chinatown to see what's on offer, I can roughly say:

MG RX-78 Version 1.5 - $40 [But left 1 box only, I think sold out by now]
MG Guntank - $60
MG ReZEL - $69.95
MG Hi-Zack - $50
MG GM - $50
MG Shin Musha with the backdrop set - $99

HG Hy-gogg - $15
HG Extreme Gundam - $20
HG Banshee Unicorn Mode - $25
HG Raphael - $25
HG Zabanya - $20
HG Titus - $20
HG Spallow - $20
HG GM Sniper II - $26.50 [I didn't see these at all, possibly sold out]

The rest of the stuff are blue-labelled and thus OG's 50th Anniversary 20% discount applies on them.

I thought the MG Shin Musha is really a good deal. Remembered it was selling for $169 back then.

any freedom & destiny HG on sale there?

When I was there, I recall seeing only Astray M1, Raider, Forbidden, Buster and Calamity HG SEED kits [Between 25.95 to 32.95 before discount]. There's also RG Freedom, Strike and Justice [52.95 before discount]. If you're wondering about MG/PG kits, there's quite a number of them but I don't know the exact list.

Anyway, these days I finally got around to decal some of the kits I have.

So, I went to OG Chinatown and didn't see anything that tempts me, ended up walking to CSC and went home with:

Just so I can get this:

Anyone got any tips or tricks to share to fix seamlines? Currently what i'm doing are the steps below:
1) Apply cement on the 2 parts

2) Join them together & press real hard for approx. 10+ secs.

3) Use craft knife to scrap along the seamlines after the cement dries

4) The use sandpaper to sand along the seamlines.

5) If seamline still shows, apply abit of putty on the
seamlines & wait for it to dry & sand some more.

By using the above steps, sometimes i get lucky & the seamlines disappear but sometimes it is still vaguely visible. Will the lines disappear when i paint over it if its vaguely visible?
