Legend on the aliexpress info, I'll have a look tomorrow but also why did you have to post that as now I want one :(

To be fair their site is being somewhat weird at the moment. Like the search for the new MG barbs says it's £57.99 then you click through and it is £54.99 but claims to still be preorder. Some products seem to flip randomly between 10 in stock and out of stock too.
 
Got a cheap haul off Ebay. Was only really after the PG Strike Rouge and MG Banshee. I'll most likely sell all the HG/RGs. Let me know if any of you are interested in any of them.
From what I can tell so far everything is in excellent condition and nothing missing.

PG Strike Rouge
MG Banshee
RG Crossbones
RG Perfect Strike
RG RX-78-2
RG OO Raiser
RG Freedom
HG F91
HG Aerial
HG Aerial Rebuild
HG Calibarn
HG Zeta (Stuck in flight mode though)





 
After a bit of a break from the FATCAT kit, and building in general. I decided to give water slides my first proper attempt today.

Started with the back pack. Slow almost therapeutic exercise, but still need to work out the best workflow. I'm definitely too impatient to let things "set".

the fine markers or the pour type? I've got the pour ones at the 'mo but ordered a couple of the fine ones this evening. That kit is looking good too, nice work with the decals!

The ones with the little fine nibs, not the pour type!

Thanks, happy with how its coming out. Having never done waterslides before, i was quite worried, but once you get the hang of it I do think they are better than standard stickers to work with.
 
I need to start giving decals a go, keep putting it off as it scares me!

Can't recall who asked either but I've tried using the Gaahleri metallic markers again and they do actually work really well. I think the first time, I mustn't have shook the pen enough. Worth getting if you are wanting to do any kind of inner frame details.

I think it was me, im keen to get some at some point so good to hear they are working better for you.

I think testing a decal on a part, or weapon is a good place to start.

They are actually easier and more enjoyable than i thought. Look infinitely better too!
 
Here's the latest thing I was working on, can see the markers on various bits of it. Still need to build the stand and you can have the hands shooting off on wires. I got the fine markers so I can do some of the lines on it for things like the vents on the back of the lower body etc

Any of you fancying the MG RX-93 Nu Gundam Ver.Ka have a cheeky look in your nearest HobbyCraft. They don't actually list it on the website at all but they have it in store, it was £63 as part of the 25% off Gunpla offer. They also have the MG Unicorn (regular not Ver.Ka) and that was £40 I think. If you have the HobbyCraft app on your phone you can scan any vouchers you have to get extra off. I think the £10 off when you spend over £40 might apply and work but expires in a couple of days.
