    Not a lot but from what they told me its because they are charging by volumetric weight which turns my 8 pound package into 22 pounds I had one returned to mandarake and emailed them twice about it. No response so far, when they do respond im asking for a refund.

    I got my April Web Exclusives shipping quote via DHL and it was ¥20,000 Think im gonna have them hold on to it until EMS gets back up and running.

    Not the Bandai stuff, most of my Bandai stuff is with them since they are the last place to sell out

    Well this blows... I got a bunch of pre-orders with AE and all they use is Japan Post

    Mine had an update as well with returned to sender. I cannot imagine the mountain of packages they will be getting back since some of these have been sitting for weeks. Mandarake made a series of tweets regarding returned packages. https://twitter.com/Mandarake_En/status/1250769423561928704?s=20

    EMS from HK and China has been like that since February, averaging 3 weeks for me. EMS from Japan has been the same as usual for me.

    Funny thing is they still manage to sell out at those crazy prices.

    Sort of the same deal for me but SAL from Mandarake and EMS from AE. Both collected on the 30th and only the EMS one has moved. The SAL package is still at the collecting stage. Im wondering if anything before the April 1st will actually be shipped.

    Same here im working on Lunamaria's Gunner Zaku and the Aegis.... The Aegis is a crazy build full of tiny parts. After those two im doing a Wing kit, those are simple enough

    I really like the hangar to display the armor off the Thunderbolt Im definitely not building it at the same time as the kit... its probably why i have been putting off the Psycho Zaku. That backpack is like an entire kit on its own

    All of them were Mr Color paints. Clear ones were regular Mr Color, and the metallic paints were Mr Color Super Metallic.

    Yea the hands for the gun and open palm are fine. The fists look good with the heat hawk equipped, its just when they are empty that they look goofy. These are the decals that I used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Y-RE-100-13-Zaku-II-Waterslide-Decal/124036685176?hash=item1ce1299d78:g:6GgAAOSwrpReE~55

    Man i wish i could do dioramas and battle damaged kits. I would definitely make one of the final moment between these two So the heat hawk took some trial and error but basically this is how it went. 1. silver base coat 2. shade only the edges in gold, leaving as much as possible of the silver in the center. 3. spray clear orange all over the piece. This is where things got complicated. The gold edges did not give the effect I was looking for, the whole thing looked orange. I tried heavier coats of orange on the edges and it didn't really make a difference. 4. so the next step was to spray clear red on the edges and gradually put heavier and heavier clear red coats on the edges. Then i gave the entire piece a light misting with clear red. what i learned from this is that I could've probably skipped the shading with the gold and it would've given me the same result.

    Sometimes I do have that issue, but i haven't deep cleaned my airbrushes in some time so that might be part of the problem. After long painting sessions i do take the needle out to clean it prevent this issue. To clean the paint cup I use Mr. Tool Cleaner which is very good at flushing most of the paint out between color changes and when I'm done for the day.

    I think its pretty good, not as hefty as a MG but I actually like that it doesn't have 100 pieces that make up a frame that I will never see. Saved up a lot of time painting because of that. My only complaints are that there are no closed fists hands and the material that makes the hoses is made up of this rubber band like material. Sucks to sand it and sucks to paint it. I didn't even bother with it aside from panel lining. Thanks! Im glad they included two blade options.
