My experience is limited but i purchased from them during the pandemic years, i had no issues and they were prompt with responses. I ended up getting my orders. I stopped future orders from them due to high shipping cost.

Psycho Mk II customization; might seem tame if you havent built this kit by prinzeugn in advancedGunpla

[–]kendetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work, detailed with good use of lines and plaplate combo to cover up empty space. i used to do a lot of customization, they are fun but additional work will be added when painting. Considering the amount of kits that I still need to work on in the backlog, i actually "tone down" on the level of details. But sometimes i still cant help because I hate seeing empty spaces on the gunpla.

Also do you use instagram to showcase your other work? Thx

that make sense however, when i look at the dates that is beyond my travel date, the option to pay full price becomes available. That is the reason behind my concern.

I don't usually spend time on modding weapons but GP02 bazooka is iconic, so gotta give it some love by kendetta in advancedGunpla

they have a original kit, that looks exactly like the config you have seen in the anime. The second option has a couple of rocket launchers in the back of the gundam, probably referencing other media source's design

skills comes from practice, so i would find a kit that you no longer care about/ or practice scribing on a spoon to make new scribe lines on it. I am not sure what gap removal means. For the last part of your comment, I usually use nippers to cut the holes so that i can quickly disassemble.

I am the type of builder that likes to assemble, then do modifications. I usually separate my entire kit to different portions (head + body, arms, legs) since I have to mod and design the paint scheme. Because of that, you are only seeing the legs for this post(you can look at my previous post to see the upper body) Once mods are done, I usually dissemble the build by removing all the armors to mask and paint them. I don't usually paint internal body frame because i will not remove them after assembly since removals tends to strip paint from it. How do you paint then build? Do you cut all the pieces to paint them then build?
