so sorry what is boot leg brand?

 

[osirisx]

i will try to ask HAG. Hopefully they can help

also lost a small part last time
hag last time I asked before, they dun have it

if u live in japan or have frens there u can get a free one-time replacement

u can also order overseas iirc was a US website (gginfinite) but very ex, I got a quote from them (coz u need to get the entire tray for that piece)

hence I diy a remold, not the prettiest, but works to keep it in place
then sometime later I found the missing part and fixed it back

bootleg means the "ahem" brands

 

[aucheukyan]

can try boot leg brand

[dragod]

Sad liao......So how much you pay for the whole tray?
How to recast??
Ahh... no wonder I went to KL and saw this shop selling their Gundam kit so cheap, so those are Bootleg......

For online, I go to the major website at: Hobby Search or Hobby Link Japan.

Given the shipping, if you're not planning to buy a lot, I think SD kits are better purchased at local hobby shops. Metro has tonnes but of course it's quite expensive for SD kits. There's also those Hobby Art, Hobby Point etc for cheaper and larger selection range.

Are you looking for those Dynasty types or the normal looking ones?

Alternatively, you may want to look at Gundam Converge, a completed Gundam figure line that have chibi proportions.

Personally, I think you get 1 Destiny Metal Build, is a magnificent display already.

And Deathgazer, if it's official Bandai product, I think biggest is 1/12 Display unit:

But some people will smartass say biggest Gundam kit is 1/1:

The most realistic buyable option is of course the 1/48 scale Gundam/Zaku.

And dragod, ya, bootleg is the most feasible option you have as it's troublesome to order the tray. I tried checking price to get the trays for HGUC EX-S Beam Smart Rifle and got quoted a price higher than the kit itself.

But bootleg isn't all fun in a cheap price. If you always use Bandai product, once you try the fitting and the plastic material, sure vomit blood. My MC Model kits still in boxes cause I wanna cry remembering the Nu's fin funnels poor fit.

 

[deathgazer]

thanks Blusttoy. haha that RX 78-2 1/12 looks good, but doubt it will be selling also. the 1/35 G system resin kit is already very huge imo. I already got gundam age 1 mega size so was wondering n looking for something bigger then that

didn't buy the tray as it was very ex

recast forgot how I did it (too long ago), using putty and powder to "clone" the missing part u need a matching piece for that
just google it

 

[JulyStork]

What do you do when the nib of your gundam marker slips out of the groove & makes smudges? Tissue paper & erasers just spreads the smudge even more. I read somewhere Q-tips with zippo fluid helps, that true?

 

[micheloving]

Do most SD models require painting or look like the ones shown on the boxes?
Any glue needed?

if you snapfit, it will look the same, except of some colours and details are not present despite having stickers to stick on. There will be seamlines too between parts. It is better to use glue and some kind of putty to fill the seams.

If you are fine with the seams or is new to plastic models, then just snapfitting will be fine

I found SD models selling on this online hongkong site
Home - GKgundamkit Online Shop

Look reliable ?
