hey guys, need your opinion:-

i recently bought a display case from ikea (its a greenhouse, i found it on the plants section ) so i put a RG inside, and it fits nicely. Do you think if i put MG instead of RG into the case, will they look too big and out of place?

huh? from ur photo, it looks like it can fit a few MG. in fact, i think the case is too big for RG already.

I was thinking of creating a scene, like adding artificial grass and gundams haha. how tall is a typical MG btw? 8"?

Anyone knows who or where i can get Metal Build 00 Raiser and 00 Gundam Seven Sword @ reasonable price?

Those 2 went up a fair bit. The new 00 raiser is still not so bad. What range are you looking out for?

Not really Gundam, but seems Bandai also sells 1/72 scale Star Wars kits like X-Wing & TIE fighter..are they like Gunpla & Bandai's One Piece ships: don't require painting, just snap-fit & decals?

depends on you actually. seen some works on instagram that panel line and then coat.

yoz, i think you say 40+% higher than SG prices based on the assumption that you order only ONE rg from nihon.

however, if you order more than one rg, definitely can bring down the shipping cost of each item. based on my experience, ordering 5-6 RGs from nihon (with shipping costs considered) is as good as going to HAG/HAW year-end sales

planning to go jap soon thats why checking out pricing first.

30% off the japan price (the number printed on the side of the box above the barcode)

e.g. a 2500yen RG will cost 1890yen at Yodobashi: 2500 x 0.7 (30% off) x 1.08 (8% tax)

thanks for the info!!

hi guys, i have a problem.

I used a paint marker to put some white color onto one of the backpak piece for SD Sinaju, but the effect is very bad.

does anyone know how I can remove the white paint, and also what will be a good marker/paint I can use?

Many thanks.
