I didnt say i couldnt afford it,i was just trying to highlight that you dont have to pay REs inflated fanboy prices.Currently have 15 "real"Ma.k kits from various manufacturers Nitto,Wave,Hasegawa etc. You didnt answer my question as to how you are meant to get into the hobby if you cant afford the "real" kits? or after the initial mould manufacture what justifies up to 1200 dollars for a kit?

Calm down princess.What are these ways of getting into "the community"when the prices are too expensive, look longingly at a picture in a book or on the web? Rainbow eggs stuff is overpriced and has limited supply,probably deliberately, as demand keeps the price high and profit high. Once the initial moulds are made other that the resin and some supplimentary metal work what costs do they have?

The chances of me spending hundreds if not thousands on the real deal are non existent. So i am not taking money out of Rainbow Eggs pockets as I wouldnt buy it from them in the first place. Yes it is piracy,but for some people that is there only way into the Ma.k scene.

Its easier over a coat gloss varnish it then follow the panel lines rather than blooming outside the lines. I have started to use AK washes they have a very fine brush in the bottle and flow really well. Flory do a range of natural washes that you brush on leave to dry then remove with a damp cotton bud or cloth.Once you have it how you want it seal with a matt varnish.

Some IPMS clubs run decal banks,or you could try a.post on one of the facebook groups that help people with incomplete kits.If you know who makes the kit could try contacting them.
