These ones look protected from dust, if you plan to add a new cabinet for the top figures, make sure to pick one with a closing door too to avoid an excess of dust. Even the classic Detolf need a cleaning twice a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xigfrid Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 That would be really great if it works well, what type of paint do these markers use? I mean are they strong enough to avoid a clear coat, will they be ok with Ts clear spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 After all picking up all those Metal Build Gundams recently, I decided I needed an RX-78 to go with them. Not having one would be like having a Macross collection without a VF-1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zx31 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Marker Airbrush works remarkably well. I was surprised how well the paint turns out after being atomized off a marker nub. I used it on a HG 00 Diver kit to paint what would normally be stickers and it works quite well in situations where you're repainting whole parts or masking off details to paint. With some practice and maybe a pressure regulator I could probably do some decent weathering or camo. I'd say if you're curious about air brushes, this seems to be the perfect entry point.

borgified Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @dj760: The Angel Birds are the true kicker for me more than the PE VF-0s! Hopefully that it didn't cost you a major setback on your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj760 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) @borgified Thanks. Angel Bird prices at auction sales are absurd. Lucked out, found at a fair price. Edited July 10, 2018 by dj760 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #0000 Limited GN-000 0 Gundam also have lots of diecast so it will feel like a Metal Build. But it's based frame is of the older #1001 Metal Composite RX-78-2 with G Fighter. It's still good but "the Origin" rx-78-2 (#1009) will be able to pull off better poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up selling it because it felt so light and the articulation was pretty bad. They just re-shelled the RX-78 ka. Im still waiting for a new 0 Gundam to come out. The Origin RX-78 and Wing Zero have been as good as Metal Builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
