Updates... Here are more "crappy" pics of the updates on SF FBM... Small details on the backpack with gold (Gundam Marker)  Painted the booster red (Mr. Color paint)  Some gold (Gundam Marker) details on the thrusters?/exhaust? of the Super DRAGOONs  Still on the DRAGOONs (Gundam Marker)  Gold (Gundam Marker) detail of the railguns  Silver (Gundam Marker) detail on the (left) beam rifle...  The finished product without the decals yet as I am looking for tips on putting Gundam Decals using Mr. Mark Softer and Mr. Mark Setter.  Doing some cleanup and rearrangements... this is what they look like now in display (all 1/100 and all MGs except Astrays, Nataku, Deathscythe, Heavyarms, Sandrock and Akatsuki)... Before Arrangement...  After Arrangement...   The 1/144s are displayed in the sala together with the gigantic 1/60 Lightning Edition SF. As for my NG Destiny and my regular MG SF, they are sitting on the sides of the TV in the sala. Thanks for viewing!!! ;D |

Thanks guys... Thats my plan as well which my mom also bugs me to get. He he he! Anyways as you can see I like my kits to have stands for each with the exception of MG Nu Gundam as the action base by Bandai cannot handle the weight of the gundam. Good thing he is too stable when posed (He can even stay in the kicking position, sweet! ;D)... As for sir lotur we will commence attack as soon as your Commander Gouf is ready ;D...

Thanks guys for the comment... But that will come cause I'm already planning on customizing my own display place for them... Anyways here are some tips on using the decals based on the experimental method I made on my first try... Here we go... First... The Tools... The Decal  Mark Setter  Tweezer  Cotton Buds  Utility Knife (Cutter Blade)  Your Old Clothing (rags)  Something that Jack and Jill went up the hill for (water)  The Process... 1) Preparations. Cut the decal you want. Clean the surface of the part where the decal will be. 2) Put a small amount of the Mark Setter on the surface.  3) Using the tweezer, soak the decal in water until you "sense" that the decal is peeling off the "back board".  4) Using the rag, let the excess water from the decal be absorbed by the rag.  5) Using the cotton buds, slide the decal to the desired location. Note: Be careful in doing so to avoid messing up the decal because Mark Setter softens the decal a little. 6) While the decal is still wet and "slimy". Move the decal to the desired position. Then let it dry a little but not totally dry.  7) Once the decal is set on the desired position, lightly press on the decal using the cotton buds to even the surface and make the decal "hug" the surface. This is a triple purpose step, this presses the decal in place, removes the bubbles (hardy in small decals) and dries up the decal. Let the decal dry up even more. 8) If desired, coat the decal with the Mark Setter once again taking note of making the solution cover the edges.  The end result is great and I'm happy with it.  Some advice... There are three ways that I have experimented to put decals which differs only on when you apply the Mark Setter. 1) Put the Mark Setter then the decal then Mark Setter Pro: Confidence of the decal being set on the surface. Con: Makes the decal edge kinda like irregular or different from the original edge shape of the decal. 2) Put Mark Setter then Decal Pro: Decal looks nice and no edge "warping". Confidence that the decal is set as seen when the decal kind of look wrinkly when in contact with Mark Setter which is a good sign that it will adhere. Con: Sometimes you suspect that there is not decal set tha good because water wight have been the one that wetted the decal instead of the Mark Setter. 3) Decal then Mark Setter Pro: Once you aligned the decal and want to change the position again, you can just wet it with water again to then slide the decal to it new desired position/location. Con: Not sure if Mark Setter penetrated under the decal raising doubts if the decal is set on the surface. Hope these help guys... Lotur: Just wait for the SF FBM to finish having its war marks before we proceed. I'll give you the mission specs when we meet at Point A5 near Colony Rapido Thanks for looking! ;D |

Happy to be of help! (Warning! That procedure is my first time of using and applying waterslide decals so I don't know if that is a good procedure but when I looked at the result, it looks fine.) You guys helped me as well by giving those reviews and some tips even from other threads ;D
