Guys, any tips?

first time ko gumamit ng water slide decals... do i need to use mr mark softer and setter?
concern ko ito kc bootlegs lang ang gamit kong kits(di pa kaya ng budget ang BANDAI eh) . any tips from those who have used water slides from bootlegs?

i've had bad experience kc from bootlegs' decals kc their adhesives are just awful. unless you apply a little glue to make them stick better.
my kits are on master grade scales.... TIA to those who can give tips...

For me mas-okay nga yung waterslides ng bootlegs kaysa dry transfer & stickers e kasi siguradong didikit tsaka madaling ipwesto sa paglalagyan. Yung sakin di ko na nilagyan ng mark softer kasi nagsstay naman siya unless mabasa ulit.

Hi, meron ba ditong nagkaroon na nung MG Tallgeese III ng dragon momoko. Kamusta quality? acceptable ba?
Bandai sana bibilhin ko kaso ginawang P-bandai exclusive kaya from 1900, naging around 3K price sa mga hobby store dito.
First time ko rin try painted build sa kit na to, so..TIA sa sasagot.

Meron akong tallgeese III ng Dragon Momoko. All I could say the plastic quality is excellent. The downside of this kit from my experience is the design of armanent connection to the shoulder and the molding of the backpack.

Yung design na sinasabi ko dito is the connector of the shield and particle gun to the shoulder. when you try to connect yung shield to the shoulder connection, the shield tends to pop out the connector. yung gun naman hindi ganun ka secure ang connection to the connector. tpos the connection to both of the shoulders, medyo hindi maganda kc the armor piece tend to slide out. pero hindi nmn halata pag pinose mo na ang kit.

second concern is the booster packs (for both left and right). the gripe i can say about this is that yung molding ng back pack e tumatama sa armor piece na may wing so i have to trim it down para hindi nakaharang. i do not know if it is designed this way or is it a mistake during molding. but after trimming, the opening mechanism of the booster packs works flawlessly.

when it comes to articulation, medyo talo si tallgeese III kasi limited talaga sa legs pa lang (kasi ang side skirt is connected sa legs). arm articulation is very limited due to the large shoulder armor unlike sa tallgeese I and II. all i can say it is still very posable pero hindi gnun kadaming poses ang pwede.

In conclusion, in spite of all the minus points i have mentioned, maganda ang detailing ng kit. very enjoyable pag binubuo na. and ang looks ng Tallgeese III is just amazing. Sana nakatulong po ang feedback ko.

thanks for the quick reply. very useful ang feedback nyo sir. i was hesitant kc about the adhesion capability ng bootleg water slide. mukhang hindi ko na kailangan ng setter. softer na lang siguro. i have seen some bootleg builders on the net using softer on their bootleg water slides, pag gnamit parang "printed" ang effect ng decal to the kit same as Bandai water slides.

meron na po ba kaung launcher strike ng dragon momoko?

^wala pa ko nun bro. medyo natrauma na ko sa articulated hands na bootleg kasi sa Nu Gudam ko na bootleg nagkalasan yung ball joints ng kamay kaya ayun sinuper glue ko na in place sa sobrang inis ko.

Daban bro. Yung kamay lang talaga problem ko dun kasi nga fragile masyado kaya mahirap din alisan ng nub marks. Other than that solid naman yung kit na yun. Waterslides din yung decal niya kaya masaya pagandahin.

ah okay... yung nu gundam ko pala double fin funnel, di ko lang nilagay lahat kasi ang hirap i-balance.

may sinanju ver ka ako bro, tt hongli siya. Okay siya kaya lang mahirap ilagay yung decals kasi dry transfer at maraming curved na parts si sinanju e.

 

[ueki23]

wla pako pambili ng compressor at airbrush so magttry sana ako mag spray cans muna.. grabe na stressed ako when i saw the cautions and warnings na nakasulat sa can ng tamiya spray paint na binili ko..

This product may cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, repeated or prolonged exposure may cause kidney and liver damage.

ganun pala talaga ka risky mag paint.. work in a well ventilated area.

Mga tropa ko pala.. all bandai.. seed series.

Anyone who already bought the recently released Dragon Momoko Launcher strike or the Sword Strike? sana may makapagbigay ng feedback or review nito. Prime92's review on youtube did not convince me enought to buy the kit. Btw below is the image.

Astig nmn... iniisip ko nga flu mask lang pero respirator talaga binili mo which is best...

Even sanding the Model Kits also has its dangers daw. kaya dapat keep safe lagi tayo...

Yung kabitan ng shield sa shoulders medyo loose tsaka yung ibang armor parts sa shoulders madaling matanggal kaya I glued it in place na. Overall maganda yung kit na yan at very noticeable pag ididisplay. Matangkad din siya for a Master Grade

oh akala ko pinag-uusapan natin yung sinanju ver ka? haha sa nu ver ka yung hands lang yung problema talaga tsaka yung fin funnels madaling matanggal sa likod pag nilagay mo lahat. Kaya yung sakin 3 lang yung fin funnels sa likod tapos yung iba naka-flight mode.

salamat sa feedback sir. musta nmn fittings? madami daw kasi nagrereklamo sa ball joint sa paa medyo maluwag daw. ganun din ba sau sir? any other issues you've encountered?

medyo maluwag nga pero madali na pasikipin using nail polish. isa pang issue para saken ay yung tiny grey part sa gitna ng chest bandang ibaba ng head. ung Launcher, medyo maluwag din ball join ng mechanical arm connecting to back pack pero nail polish lang din kapatap. ung sword launcher dko pa nauumpisahan.
