To all Filipino Modelers

QUOTE: Originally posted by shonen_red Agree agree..... also, the RX-79(G) is one of my favorite ground types -- because they fight fair in the battle, no super armors and special abilities just like GMs.

Hmn.... now you just made me wanna start building on that GM Guncannon.... well despite being cannon-fodder to the Zakus, it's the GMs that make up the majority of the Fed forces. I noticed something though.... the Gundams really look just like samurai armor-clad souped-up GMs.

I think some use vinegar.... dunno if it's true cuz I haven't tried it yet. I think the vinegar thing works. I remember Ping (or was that Noel) telling me about it. I think the vinegar softens the decals though. It might soften to the point that it won't be usable. I guess I'll try it on one of the decals I have. I'll let you know what happened. Jun hi jun, i'll be waiting on result before i do something... one more thing, is there a modeller you know who lives in pampanga, esp. angeles city?... tnx & God bless! Late breaking news... I tried the vinegar (I think it was Lorins brand)... didn't work. The decal became a little soggy but the yellowing didn't come off. I think it was already the fixative that they use on the surface of the decal. Sorry... back to the drawing board Jun

Jun I'm currently working on a Gundam model.... it's a Dom Tropen. I have built some ARII Macross kits two Gerwalks (VF-1J & VF-1S) which are finished, 1 half-built Battroid (VF-1D) and one completely wrecked Valkyrie (VF-1A) courtesy of some kids (friggin' relatives) who assaulted my room. In my unbuilt stack there is one more ARII Macross Gerwalk (VF-1D) kit, a Bandai Macross SDF-1, and four ARII Zentraedi Battleships. So basically.... puro Macross sci-fi kits.... medyo sinubukan ko ng konti yung Gundams... but my focus is really on cars and aircrafts. Wow! Expensive! I wish I had the money... Jun

P180-190? his fare alone is almost enough to buy new bottle and spare the him the trouble of filling a complaint. the IPMS-Manila guys, do literally promote STC should be the first to inform the owner of incidents like this, and assist rod, this is the best moment to help a fellow modeller in need and not pass him around...talk about a bottle of cement. rod you should bought your cement somewhere near like JMNs and Lils mkt. isang bus ride lang sayo yun diba? di ka siguro nagkaproblema. i also use extra thin ang mahal, kaya i use them in tandem with regular cement. a friend suggested chloroforme its cheaper pero sumasakit ang ulo ko, i don't want to wake somewhere naked. hehehehe cheer up! beth Hmm... naked... uhh... slap! slap!!! Okay, back to business... I've tried using Chloroform and you really have to use it in a ventilated area. My friend said it'll really damage your nostrils if you're over-exposed to it... make you sleepy too. I haven't tried Benzene though. I'd like to experiment on it also because that's what the acrylic manufacturers use to stick the Jeepney signages together eh. Jun hi to all, sorry havent posted for quite a while. beth/jun i've been using chloroform for years now. yup its cheap, but its very hard to come by sa Mercury Drug these days . anybody out there knows where we can buy chloro? a word of caution when using chloro though for aircraft modelers. be careful when assembling the trailing edge of the wings. i find chloro too strong that it sometimes warps the ailerons and flaps, especially when the edges are very thin. use tamiya extra thin instead or apply just a small amount of chloro. use a very thin brush to control your application. when assembling the fuselage halves, just apply a small amount. otherwise, after the joint has dried and sanded, i notice later that some lenghts of the joint tends to 'sink' that i have to apply filler. right on beth! tamiya extra thin is expensive so its more practical to use other glues in tandem. keep those glue you get for free when buying academy kits keep on posting! jim

QUOTE: [i]For example if i have a complaint with an employee at a foodchain resto would i go to someone who knows the manager personally? Or go to the person whom i heard that he knows the owner? No. I'd go directly to the manager and complain about a certain employee or product.
