photaful Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'd have to say, it's not a big of difference. There may be some but you won't even notice them. Unless you'll look close enough. Boot-leg kits are best for practicing kit-bash, paint, and even for starters.Thanks. I'll try this. 1 Quote Link to comment

smooth_af Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Tamiya Plastic Cement or Mighty bond? Which is better?plastic cement mighty bond has that frosting effect on plastic. Also makes them brittle.however, put the cement lightly. It tends to melt the plastic, making a perfect weld out of the 2 pieces. be sure of the type of plastic as well. there is an ABS plastic cement, ABS is used for the joint or moving parts of some kits 1 Quote Link to comment

Trante Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I really wanted to have my own. Pero any advice what Gundam should I do first?depende kung san ka mahilig na series. karamihan ng mga gunplars (GUNdam PLAstic modelleRS) dito satin is mahilig sa wing gundam eh. for myself, mas partial ako sa mga "simpleng" designs, yung onti lang yung baril, spada, mga ganun. go to dalong.net for photo reviews ng kits.

Chunkysy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 question.... san n kayo bumibili ng GUNDAM "bandai" wla n kasi sa FB yung LGToys and Cold fire gundam, eh higit n mas mura sila keasa sa malls and hobby shops Quote Link to comment
schterzen Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For the kits bought at 168 and 999 or specifically the China kits, what's the significant difference? Gusto ko sanang kumuha rin para magsubok ng detailing sayang kasi pag orig tapos nasira lng. Based on my experience, the china kits uses low grade plastic which is very hard to customize. It's a perfect way to practice your art since it's much more difficult to customize your scale model using china kits. Additionally, some parts might not fit perfectly and when you completely assemble them, the seams are very obvious. Which is why this is the perfect kits for those who wish to customize, since you really need to customize the kits in order for them to look decent. Quote Link to comment
staticghost Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I really wanted to have my own. Pero any advice what Gundam should I do first?-Best thing to do is choose a kit or design na gusto mo talaga, check the available scales ng kit/design and check your budget para sa mapipili mo. Where can I buy cheapest Tamiya models?-Lil's Hobby Shop & JMN. Tamiya Plastic Cement or Mighty bond? Which is better?-Tamiya Plastic Cement is always better for PS plastics. May ABS cement din ang Tamiya for ABS plastic. Kung gusto mo ng superglue na clear kapag natuyo at sandable, try mo ang "Rubble Plait" Shoes glue pero not sure kung saan ito available sa area mo, sa sari-sari store lang kasi dito sa amin ako nakabili nun. question.... san n kayo bumibili ng GUNDAM "bandai" wla n kasi sa FB yung LGToys and Cold fire gundam, eh higit n mas mura sila keasa sa malls and hobby shops-Coldfire changed his shop's name to Hobby Station. Check ka lang sa ibang facebook groups kung kanino sila bumibili. Usually kasi ang mga online sellers ay may mga target areas like Coldfire and Zerofour sa north at madami pang iba. andami ko binuo pero wala ako cutter dati so andami putol na parts -May mga side cutters na mura lang lalo na sa divi. Pero kung gusto mo ng mejo sosyal at high quality cutters, Tamiya will do good. mga sir meron bang bosny na clear matt? puro clear gloss lang nakikita ko eh. thanks!-Flat Clear ang available sa Bosny. Mas mura din ito sa divi, 75pesos ang mga basic colors at mejo mas mahal ang metallics at special paints. I think triple ang presyo nito sa Ace Hardware so best bet eh sa divi ka bumili or sa mga local hardware na around 100 pesos ang basic colors. sinong may PG na wing 0 custom? worth it ba?-Kung gusto mo ng 1/60 Wing Zero, it will do pero kung worth it ba, I would say, hindi at masakit sa ulo buuin ang PG Wing Zero Custom lalo na sa pagkabit ng LED wirings. Ang pinaka-magandang Wing Zero Custom kit ay ang RG pero syempre maliit yun. Yung MG version eh nasa middle ng PG at RG pero mejo may kalumaan na in terms of parts and color separation. worth it ba PG Unicorn?-Kung gusto mo ang design at proportions, ok na din. May upcoming bootleg version na din pala nito. Personally, mas gusto ko ang PG Banshee Norn, mas astic kasi ang design at makukuha mo din yung weapons na nasa Unicorn. my ZZ gundam, finished this one about 2 months ago-Ganda ng slim ZZ Gundam.

staticghost Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Magic Toys Master Grade 1/100 Hazel Custom... I actually messed up painting this kit. Mejo ibang perspective regarding non-bandai gunpla kits... I used to build, paint and actually sell bootlegs kits pero after building and painting my last bootleg kit which was a Daban MG Sazabi ver Ka and then buying a Bandai MG Sazabi ver ka, I then finally realized na sayang ang pera at effort in building or even painting a bootleg kit. Anlayo ng difference. Sure one can say na pareho lang o halos pareho lang sila pero hindi mo talaga malalaman kung ibabase lang sa mga picture reviews at wala kang actual bandai kit to compare them with. But as with everything else, that is all subjective to the person buying. Pera mo pa rin yan so decision is always yours. Personally, I would simply recommend 3rd party kits na available din sa divi. 3rd party meaning na hindi direct copy ng existing bandai kits tulad nitong MG Hazel, 1/35 or 1/24 Gundam Head Busts (although panget daw yung bust ng banshee base sa youtube review na napanood ko), BTF MG ZZ Gundam Slim version or even the MG Akatsuki from Dragon momoko. Magastos ang hobby na ito so laging unahin ang mga needs sa buhay natin at unti-unting pag-ipunan ang mga wants. Ok lang na kaunti ang collection mo basta may quality kesa naman isang cabinet na puno ng useless stuff. Opinyon ko lang naman. 1 Quote Link to comment
