Because there are space in the back. The chest is not flat flat and I also panel lined. She had to sign fast since there was a huge line up ( I waited 2 hours )
Luckily I also took picture with her.
I will put a mirror in the back for display or put it on a rotating plat
Do anyone knows a way to get some special edition gunpla? (well, other than buy it off someone online)
I really want the 1/144 Nyaia Gundam which sadly only available at C3 x Hobby 2014 (Japan)
There’s the online shop genteikits.com that sells P-Bandai kits and some hobby show exclusives. I’m not sure if they’d stock the Nyaia custom and other resin conversion kits though.
1. where are u getting this signed??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
2. putting marker on it on gloss would probably be the best result since it gives the kit a smooth finish
3. im pretty sure the matte finish will just take over the gloss leaving no traces of the gloss coat but i could be wrong and it can turn in to a semi gloss coat depending on how…[Read more]
1: Montreal’s Otakuthon next weekend, she’s a guess
2: thanks
3: I mean thin matte then gross coat on top of it. I gonna actually try it on the runner first in any case. Will share the result when I am on it this weekend
Sorry, didn’t know what you meant with gross. But now I think you mean a gloss coat.
Whenever you put down a matte clear first, due to a sort of white pigment, it will always stay matte when looking straight to it. No matter how many coats of gloss you put on it.
However, if you hold the model in an angle, you could see a sheen on top of it.

@Blackneko, Of course you can use spray cans for applying a matte, semi gloss or gloss clear coat. A lot of manufacturers like Tamiya and Mr Hobby make them. Just search and/or ask for them with your local hobby shop. Or you could always search online for a company which ships them to you. E-bay or Amazon will have sellers but they often ask top…[Read more]
@teetee580 Tamiya sells clear paints? I plan to (when I eventually get to painting) paint Natakus Dragon Fangs, V fin etc gold and then go over it with clear yellow. I’ve seen some nice results from that. The same clear paint that I was going to hand brush on actually also comes in a spray can?
haha, yup I meant gloss, have no idea how I misspelled that the whole time yesterday.
Thanks for the answer, I guess I will go with original plan then. The matte is mainly to even out the sanded areas and get a bit of the matte look (thin coat). The gloss because I will get it sign and I think gloss top coat would help.
@KrazJ, I would search for a big un-obscured surface. I’m thinking the back of the head…? Or the chest and tummy? @iamMajesty, yes, they do sell clear paints. Red (X-27), Blue (X-23), Green (X-25), Yellow (X-24) and Orange (X-26). Also a Smoke (X-19), it’s a sort of black transparent.
I also dislike the yellow on Gundams and also paint then…[Read more]
@teetee580 Thanks for the response! I’ve only seen the gold paint with clear yellow over it on videos so seeing it in person would probably look different. I’ll have to try both out and see which one I like. I’ll take a look at your Nu Ver Ka. Thanks man. Happy building!
@iamMajesty Yes, you are right, the best way in seeing what you like best is making some samples. Of course it’s all about personal taste. Go with the one you like best and the model will look the best it can be.
And you’re welcome. Happy building
