Hi everyone,
as we all know, most if not all Gundam kits come with stickers or decals of some sort. there are times though that i would like to have more decals or a different type of decals on my kits.
my questions regarding this are:
1. what's a good online store that ships directly to your residence/ mailing address?
2. how much is the range of prices?
thanks

its either www.hlj.com/top/Gun or www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/in my case, i browse pics at hlj and order at R10 coz it's cheaper there. both stores will ship directly to your address if shipped via EMS method. thats the expensive method. otherwise, you will have to get it from the local post office. 400yen at R10 |

i'd rather pay extra to ship it directly to my address than have it sent to the post office (too far from where i live) thanks for the info r2d2t2!  |

A caution though, there is still a very small chance of EMS landing in the post office for some weird reason.

since this thread is about decals, ill ask my question here ive heard of making your own decals with the use of 'scopa' paper (dont know if its a brand or a type of paper, dont know if its paper or something else also  ) some questions on it: 1. how much is it? 2. is it dry or wet transfer? 3. how big/small is it? (8" x 11" ?) 4. how to safely apply and remove? 5. what kind f printer is needed? 6. what is the quality compared to those from the kit? thats all the questions i can think of right now, i hope someone can enlighten me ;D i havent applied any decals on my kits yet, i would want to paint it first before the decals, so as of now, this maybe a good option to add detail to my kits while waiting for my painting skills to develop, ;D |

i use the sticker that is rolled... as big as a cartolina i think. the sticker is thin and its dry. meaning sticker talaga. hehe. i dont know what scopa paper is.. its safe to remove and easy to apply. just place topcoat after. and there are no white colors unless your printer can do that. i also know a shop that i think makes decals for cars. they told me you could bring ur design to them and they will see if they can print it for you...

@ - snap
its as big as a cartolina? is it also available in natio? how much?
so you just cut it in bond paper size and print on it?
about the shop, is it the kind of shop where they print big posters
for advertisments? or just the stalls/booths in malls where they sell
just car stickers (ex calvin urinating, 'baby on board', etc)
;D
ps.
do you have pics of your kits that has them on ;D

i dont have pics.... anyway i got the sticker paper @ NBS. its around 200-300 pesos i think. yeah i did cut it to bond paper size... just make sure when you buy them get the thin one. there are sizes i think... im using hp printer. most decals i print are black or red... but the prob with this is that you cant print very small decals. unless you have a good printer.. the shop on the mall i was saying prints small stickers. not posters. and yeah those kind of stickers... the wee wee stuff and the transformer logo... @ - snap its as big as a cartolina? is it also available in natio? how much? so you just cut it in bond paper size and print on it? about the shop, is it the kind of shop where they print big posters for advertisments? or just the stalls/booths in malls where they sell just car stickers (ex calvin urinating, 'baby on board', etc) ;D ps. do you have pics of your kits that has them on ;D |
