Is there anyway to keep fresh painted kit from dust? like some sort of coating I can use?

Spoiler for recolor:

Meh

Whatever happens to HGUC Nu? Not released this month?

[Sir Dearka]

Looks ok, but since Red Frame, Blue Frame and Gold Frame Amatu, most of the Astray series constantly fail to impress me in terms of MS designs...

no worry there are still yellow frame and some other colored frame coming out untill they have enough for Astray Sentai

[duotiga]

guess prepare for the next unicorn mg.....MG1/100 Sinanju coming?

[Sir Dearka]

I hope they shall not push it. Though I have to admit that I am one of the people who also have their favorites when it comes to rehashed models. In my case, I'd be delighted with a 1/100 HG black Blaze Zaku Phantom Dearka Custom

!!!

MG Sinanju! Now THIS is great news. I didn't get the Unicorn but maybe this one...

[RedWing]

Wow thats pretty decent. Do you hand paint your kits?

I saw that on MSL couple hours ago someone pointed out on the 4th line "1/100スクラッチ" people are saying it's not MG nor MG Ver .Ka

I dont understand japanese, but someone said on the thread that it's just some master modeler announcing his mod in the future... here is the original post if u can read Chinese

[Sir Dearka]

^Eh, too bad, then... And I thought this'd sweeten the lives of those complaining about too many MG CE kits coming out

[Shiro-Oh!]

Does it say MG? All I see is the phrase "1/100 Sinanju." I hope I'm wrong, though. MG Unicorn didn't really spark my interest, but this one's a different story.

EDIT: Never mind; Astrana provided the necessary facts. But still, though, I'd be happy to see a model of it. =/

[dodgethis_sg]

1/100 Sinaiju scratchbuild? Someone already did a 1/60 one.

Sorry to ask so many questions but what brand do you use? I sprayed my Destiny but most of the colours didnt really stick to the plastic.

I thought it was MG too when i first saw the picture, I was thinking about getting unicorn together with this. but then realize it's not... ={ but I do remember ina bandai interview few month ago they are saying they will release something fans has been anticipating for years... not sure which one (saw the article on greedland, i will go dig around see if it's still there)

[Derringer]

It's an ad in Hobby Japan saying that the next issue will feature 1/100 scratchbuild models and MG Unicorn by specific modeler.

I think that you need acrylic paints for it to stick to plastic, and even then you need to seal it with topcoat spray. then again, I'm not advanced enough to be painting my kits yet, so I'm only speaking from the words of others.

Titans Mark Two ver II is just too cool a kit. I have placed it next to MG Hyaku Shiki in a sword-drawing pose and it remains there, sharing its MAster glory with the golden suit

AS for decals, I chose number Three for it. Because Kamille picked this one after Jerid and because number 3 means a lot to me.
