About 6 weeks after ordering, the paint arrived finally.

Bad timing to place the order during the 11/11 rush.

Order placed on the 13th, then on the 19th, I got a word from Skycart that the order has to be revised due to the thinner. So they revised the order and submitted to Enlly Hobby.

Skycart received the item on the 27th in their Shanghai warehouse and proceeded for sea shipping.

Bad bad timing to order during the 11/11, TB vendors all over got swamped.

@kenneth, how much savings can you get from tb vs from getting locally

@kenneth, how much savings can you get from tb vs from getting locally

eg. on my recent purchase.

Note: local price are based on Hobbypoint after 10% discount

2 x G121 - 25.32 RMB ($5.67) / $11.80 ($5.90 x 2)
2 x SM08 - 97.37 RMB ($21.79) / $32.4(16.2 x 2)
2 x G122 - 25.32 RMB ($5.67) / $11.80 ($5.90 x 2)
2 x G041 - 25.32 RMB ($5.67) / $11.80 ($5.90 x 2)
1 x G044 - 8.76 RMB ($1.6) / $3.90

+ 8RMB internal shipping

less than 1kg in actual weight.
+ 43RMB (around $9.60) (4px Global Consolidate and Shipping, by air). if more than 1 kg, additional 12RMB (around $2.69) per 500g.

for Mr Hobby Primer 1500 ..19.96RMB ($4.47) ..local selling about $7.90

too bad thinner cannot ship out...else saving will be more.

 

[kenneth0601]

@kenneth, how much savings can you get from tb vs from getting locally

average about 15 to 20 quid if you are buying in bulk. if only thinner can be bought, the savings for the thinner alone will be able to cover the freight charges.

Enlly Hobby

In terms of supplies, they have basically everything you will need in Gunpla hobby. Prices wise, theirs may be slightly higher than some others. But they are a two gold crown store, so you are guaranteed that your items are what you see on the store.

 

[tissuepaper]

if use brush for panel lining, how do you all clean the brush after that ? right now i have lighter fluid and gaia tool cleaning thinner. but since im using enamel, should be using lighter fluid to clean brush right? or both also can

Either one will be fine.

To add on, they ship from shenzhen, which is very near the 4px warehouse. Also, 4px offers to send to popstation.

Here is one item i bought on 18th Nov, not sure why it takes so long to reach you..
