Airbrush is the best option but they're expensive (I don't have one either), Spray can would be your best choice, hand brush is trickier because of brush strokes.

I don't really know how to help you there. I guess if you have anything specific you would like to ask, then maybe I or another member could tell you.

The initial investment for an airbrush may be expensive, but you can get a fairly nice beginner airbrush, Iwata Revolution CR for about US $70. then your air source is is dependant on how much you want to spend, 30-200 depending on what you want and what fits your needs.

This initial investment is a one time investment (unless you later upgrade to more refined airbrushes but it'll only be as much as twice the cost of the Revolution). In the long run, spray cans will cost more if you keep having to buy different colors, multiple spray cans, etc.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with spray cans, I started out with spray cans and hand brushing. There are quite a few tricks that you can do with spray cans as well. The only issue is that custom mixed colors are very limited, and a spray can cannot get as fine a spray pattern as an airbrush.

More details to be revealed next week

As promised :-



http://www.happinetonline.com/NASApp...=4543112655066

Retailing at 26,250 yen. Without the tax, it's 25,000 yen just as predicted.

For the Gimmicks, Bandai includes a multi dimensional display stand, gold plated parts, dragoon launch effects and claimed that the intergrity of the joints had been strengthened.

PG SF does look pretty damn awesome

but i got the MG SF already >< , i dont really feel like buying 2 same kits but this honestly does look pretty damn good

i'll see if there are any first batch bonuses , like FREE clear body parts (although knowing Bandai, thats HIGHLY unlikely... one can always hope lol)

[MakubeX2]

For those wanting to get the Harute.....



The tech spec reads :-

"The Harute has the potential to equip various optional armament."

Clear giveaway for a upgraded version later.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Same as the 00Q, I guess we'll be seeing a 00V Harute soon enough.

[Dragonar Fan]

Im gonna be converting my MS-07 to a MS-07C-5 , I'll post pics soon in the meantime enjoy a pic of the Suit

Nice redesign of PG Strike Freedom, the chest cannon now are smaller & streamline. The dragoon wings must have a lot articulations. The price are about the same as the PG 00 Raiser right..?

or as for the Kyrios,Harute has different type of tails(the one with "two drives" )..

and,i think,some extra equipment like the zabanya with the extra holsters..

As much as I hate anything Destiny related, the PG Strike Freedom is a correct step forward for the PG line after the detour of PG Red Frame and OO-Raiser.

I mean, the model kit manage to make the initial atrocity that is the Strike Freedom looks good in my eye.(The Sheer Bulk, the sleek refined design and the unglaring Bling-Blings) Still, I will not foot out a dough due to it being Destiny related.

[duotiga]

me will still get harute =x

PG kits is still a no no for me =x

[bio9205]

That puts PG 00R to shame. I'm quite impressed.

[iTakemoto]

I was bored so I decided to colour in that greyscale picture of the PG SF, for the non 3D rendered representation of the kit

I couldn't agree more. He actually looks A LOT better here.

[Akyra]

I have the NG 1/100 SF with the stand...then i bought the full burst (and stuffed up the wing gimmick cos i accidentally broke it while posing...)

Now I want the PG SF...and I haven't even finished the my PG Astray Red...

I should apply for a job at Bandai...

Never seen that before, good luck with it! Don't really like the colours though.
