Nah, I don't think na "give him a hard time and he'll give up" attitude nga ang intention ng mga promoters. Maybe it's an occurence lang na they have no power over. Ehehehe. Kumbaga nasa may-ari na ng shop ang may decision nun. Although, befriending the "tinderas" would also help.... kaso maski anong pagpapa-cute at pangungulit ko sa kanila e hindi pa rin nila ako mabigyan ng discount.... wuhuhuhuhu ehehehe

guys

thanks for the support, its only a bottle of cement, no need to stretch the issue... i already bought a new bottle at JMNs yesterday its cheaper by P10!. then again 2nd buy ko.

napadpad lang ako dun beth.

if this is a repeating issue(s) about STC i hope the owner/management seriously consider the matter.

your welcome! the DML 1/72 M1A1/A2 is a good kit i have the old ESCI,DMLs and the Revell AG, the later is the best second by DML.

by now your aware of the modificatin in the DML kit: the turret basket and some minor parts to scale. i'm slow building mine along with some germans di lang continuous, katay dito, katay dun. good luck on your build.

1/72 helos and fixed wings, allan is more adept on this subject, sa kanya rin ako natututo ng techniques he'll reply soon.

just keep posting.

So far I've no issues with STC or Hobbitoi here in Alabang. Their "tindera's" are polite naman although they're kinda "intriguera's" (if you know what I mean).... I've had gotten some 3 bottles of Gunze Mr. Color that upon opening at home were dried-up, but they replaced the paints without much question, seems the previous day the tindera did a little inventory of their paints and really found some dry ones.... buti na lang. Another one happened when I got me one of those Dragon (u)nano 1/144 scale F-16 Night Falcon in Hobbitoi.... the sprues were complete but a couple of parts were missing from the sprues, and I never found any loose parts inside the plastic either (mukhang na-kitbash although malamang factory defect) I returned it the next day.... nung una ayaw ng mga salesladies baka daw mapagalitan sila ng boss nila but with a little prodding and (ahem) pa-cute buti na lang pumayag. I don't know kung napagalitan nga sila, sana naman hindi.... they were just doing their job and keeping a returning customer happy. I'll be happier though kung mag-re-stock sila ng bagong Dragon (u)nano scale aircraft kits.

if your cement is really troubling you, i recommend if you can still afford, buy a new bot, somewhere near its your choice makati or malate.

its no use to go back and forth to that store. this is a petty issue that should have been resolved when you returnd their product not to mention that those who are concerned are reading this forum.

actually, there are more than just two IPMS ors present in the Metro.... there's south manila, fort(though i'm not really sure with the fort), Manila and Bert Anido Chapter.

i am more familiar with the last two. and since you mentioned you are into sci-fi, there's this group called mechapinoy. they specialize in sci-fi and mecha. in fact, they have been promoting the hobby thru their gundam caravans as sponsored by bankee, the maker of ban dai.

well... here are their websites once more:(goodness, i'm starting to sound like a broken record here! hehehehe)
