Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[RedEyesFan]

Anyone been there today ? Is it still crowded and any MG kits left ?

Only MG GMs($35)

the other MGs are Tiger & Bunny($18 each) and OOO TaToBa combo($20)

the HGs are the AGE Vegans grunts($12)

no more HGUC($0)

Since the sales ended, I'll just post for reference.

The only MG was the RGM-79 V2.0 for sale at SGD35.

The HGs are:

Danazine - $15
Zedas - $15
Baqto - $15

Adele - $12
Genoace - $12
Gafran - $12

I personally felt that the Adele was the best deal. The other one would probably the 2for$10 soft vinyl Godzilla. Sibei cute.

PS: Forgot to mention, there was some UC Hard Graph kits but I didn't track the price:

EFGF M61A5 Main Battle Tank
Zeon Cyclops Team Set

Spent $91 yesterday at the warehouse sales last day. Quite happy about it. Went 3 days out of the 5 days.

my loots below, sorry for the poor image, not a professional.

Temptations all over the place, especially HAG's ongoing sale. Even got seduced into buying the Tamiya cutter to replace my cheapo dragon one.

Got frustrated by the increasingly bad nub marks caused by the old ones, especially on my newly built HG Sinanju. Didn't bother gluing seamlines either since it causes the chrome to be wiped off.

And current WIP:

Show me some nub marks on your sinanju leh, i suppose is the titanium finish one. I got a titanium sinanju ver ka havent even start because i am afraid of the nub marks turn out extremely ugly, because my sangokuden kits that have those nice finish all turn out to have extreme ugly nub marks.

The parts that not shaded in red are those you use for building. It's stated that you can build 2-3 type of difference color of zeta depending which parts you use.

Hi, im new here, please bare with me =x

may I know where can I find a LBX Lucifer? it seems to have eluded me.

I am currently working on a 1/72 f22 raptor. does anyone know how to get StarScream's tattoo in the form of water slide decals?

Can any1 direct me to a oil painting tutorial? If it is not feasible to locate any decals, I feel like winging it with oil paints. but I am not sure of certain properties of oil paints

Thanks all ~

Will look into Samuel decals thanks~

Oil paints because it dries slower and I want the colour to be very even.

you can opt for lacquer or acrylics with their respective retarders to make the paint dry slower, but it will still be faster than oils.

Hey guys, my current air brush has broken down twice already, for an example, the trigger doesn't operate smoothly even after thorough cleaning. Anyone has a good recommendation for airbrush with good parts support locally?
Thanks!

Thanks but which brand is commonly used within gunpla builders in SG? Is hobbymate ace airbrush good?

 

[ongkh2000]

think its best u go down to their store to get a feel of the airbrush. i mean, after all you gotta try it out before considering to purchase the equipment, likewise for many other stuff.

Hello, have a problem with my HGUC Sazabi's right hip joint. The polycap doesn't fit onto the ball, heard its a molding problem with HGUC Sazabi. Tried sanding, thickening with super glue, using school glue to tighten the joint, still doesn't work. The leg keeps falling off. Any ideas?

Hi! Do you have any pictures? Because I've built a HGUC Sazabi without any problems and I read the same thing raised in Animesuki forums.
