e_jacob77 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 HI all, When u apply the water slide decals, is there some way to protect them, should u transform it every once in awhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regult Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 search for the official 1/72 Macross Frontier kit thread, there is more than enough on the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizartar Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Use some clear coat, depending on the finish you want, Gloss, Semi-Gloss or Matt. I like Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regult Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I remember the general impression was that transformation+waterslide decals+delicate plastic model was a recipe for tragedy. It's probably too optimistic to think you can transform it EVERY once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 No matter how careful you are, when you transform your transformable model paint will chip and decals will tear even with clear coat. Sadly, after time something will break also. Best find the mode you like and don't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 IIRC, Bandai's MF 1/72 model kits also include a separate sheet of stickers. Use those on the areas that are subject to friction during transformation, and use decals on the parts that aren't likely to come into contact with your hands or other plastic parts. As for potential breakage, I wouldn't know, since I don't own one (nor plan to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
