I already know the main ones which Im not personally bothered to order good paint that I may just suck with) Didn't we all, at one p...

The only way to properly get rid of deep scratch marks caused by sanding is to use progressively finer grits until the scratches are minimized, followed by paint or polish. Brasso brass polish does a fairly good job of eliminating light-to-medium scratches on its own, but it can react very badly wi...

Funny thing. I enjoyed that SEED Game (Well, for a while. And was it the one that only featured the first half of SEED? Where Justice is unlockable and the last stage is Kira's appearance with Freedom?). Honestly, I preferred it with Strike rather than Freedom. On another note, we'll have to wait f...

Colouring eyes

So what is the best way? (without paint) I though maybe gundam markers black and metallic green would do the job. Anything I should know about it though would be appreciated.

Re: How to Build a Decent Collection

I'm writing to address a problem I'm having with building a good Gundam collection. I promised myself that this year would be the year I'd stock up on Gundam DVD's starting with the AU shows. Not being the smartest shopper around, I turned away from the $30 Anime Legends sets in favor of rare MSiA'...

gundamstoreandmore.com is a good place to buy markers and stuff. They don't look so trustworthy.. How is their shipping and packaging? also how long would they take to ship generally? Also, How does Hobby wave package stuff? UPS? I just don't want to receive damaged models. http://www.gundamstorean...

Sorry for double post. I would really like more tips for not scratching the actual part when removing the flash/nub. Many people don't have to care scratching it because tthey just use a finer file/sandpaper after sanding and it won't appear, But I don't paint. I really dont wanna screw my first MG ...

and the scratches left behind by even fine-grade sandpaper can be polished away with toothpaste or fine household cleanser. So your saying that incase I make the part I was sanding a bit rough and slightly scratched by accident, I can use household cleansers and toothpaste to smoothen it back? that...

MG looks much more detailed and looks much more like to the anime lineart of the strike noir Eheh? MGs are based on linearts done either by BEE-CRAFT or (even) Katoki.
