  1. Go for the older PG, my vote goes towards Mk II or GP-01. Older PG has inner frame gimmicks that was lost on the newer PG (Seed and 00) As mikeszekely mentioned, 00 is better for RG.
  2. it is a matter of too much flat base. Alcohol or anything that strips acrylic can remove, though if your painted parts are acrylics, those will be removed as well.
  3. I didnt read it all but from what I understand, if mr. K wants it, he will release the villains as well but unfortunately, from the way he talks about it, he is not making the decision. (or I read it differently)
  4. As spanner said, can't help and feel that it is painted with metallic colors (both 27)
  5. Here is my 3rd party Strike MG with Bandai ver. RM aile pack color inspiration is from Shunneige's RG strike http://shunneige.blog.fc2.com/blog-category-10.html
  6. Just wait for shapeways promo, from time to time, they do free shipping. Painting them is easy, getting a matching paint without mixing is the problem .
  7. I stopped reading the manga since an anime adaptation was coming but the flow of the story will be like that. The Teacher actually motivates and wants to improve the whole class and be the best on what they are.
  8. I can swear, anything that Saburo captures, is well received by MWF. Even cutting mat is now in-demand. edit: @VF5SS will wait for written review.
  9. there might be a change, I remember using MR color spray and once fully cured (on a primed model using tamiya), 70% iso alcohol can't even soften or chipped it. The same thing about TS paints. Again, I am talking about rattle cans since I, myself, dont have AB. I can no longer confirm it since I am using Tamiya Paints now. (TS and AS) as for the topcoat, you can actually use anything as long as you test it first but I understand your comfort level with using MR Top coat by Gunze, they are basically the safest topcoat that you can use on a spray can form (though I find it also the weakest, not a big deal since I only use it for flat finish)
  10. I dont have the numbers but I feel that the black people die too fast as well in the original show. Anyone can produce the numbers?
  11. correct me if I am wrong but Mr. Color, is similar with TS line of Tamiya, both are solvent based paint or Lacquer. (both cant be removed by Alcohol even if you submerge it in days) By modelling painting knowledge, Lacquer > Enamel > Acrylic. There are two Gunze top coat as well, the gray one is Solvent based while the smaller and blue/green (sorry I am bad with color naming) is Acrylic or water based (can be easily removed by alcohol) If you use Mr. Color or TS tamiya paints, then any top coat should be safe enough. Just make sure that you do it lightly, no wet coats (to avoid reactivating the enamel panel line). And also, you can even use lacquer top coat on acrylics/enamel as long as 1. The acrylic paint is fully cured 2. Lacquer is applied through Misting
  12. out of Nostalgia, I am re-watching Magic Knight Rayearth
  13. http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82121/Sci 33,060 yen http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10344021 33,060 yen https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13554-macross-zero-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-0s-phoenix.html 29,420 yen http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-153459 31,320 yen (there are other popular site but price should remain in the same range) I PO'd at NY since they accept under-declaring of value which will help me save money from paying full value. Though if you want good after-sales support, I think nothing comes close, HLJ is the best out there.
  14. dunno if I can afford it. Just PO'd a 0S at NY
  15. YAJ auto extends it for 5mins everytime it receiveds a bid within 4:59 of time. This will make bid wars on YAJ a long battle.
  16. Bandai Food products
  17. my WIP, snap fitting of the Dragon Momoko (third party) sword and launcher pack on Strike Ver. RM (since it is readily available). My focus right now is to try to remove as many seam line as possible with making parts count in painting less. The Sword Pack was easy due to the simple construction but the launcher is already giving me headache on where to start. As usual, third party Kit has some issues in terms of Fitting so cutting the pegs is mandatory at some parts. Will also build the DM version of Strike, since it is based on the Evolve version (same as PG)
  18. dont forget to buy to bandai VF-19 advance and arcadia yf-19, so when you hit the bucket, the people will still debate which one is the better toy
  19. so I need to wait for another two years for the Armored Messiah? And Hasegawa red tag on the TV SDF-1 means it will be a limited kit.
  20. still waiting for Flory's model washes, my VF-19 Advance will receive lots of love from me (RIP re-sell value lol)
  21. @hadiwinata Are you mistaking something about the Bandai?
  22. sigh, online retailers still list them above 17k yen
  23. a spray booth will help since: 1. A booth has a cover 2. The fan inside is designed to suck the fumes/paints. or if you want to be safe, cover your valks while doing a painting session.
