7.) Clear coating

I've finally managed to find a bright and sunny afternoon for top coating. 



If you planned to top coat your gunplas, be sure to get a face mask if you didn't already have. Cause the fuse is gonna..well..kill your nose? Well. The trick of using a top coat is to spray as much as you can and run away. I was surprise i was able to give all 3 gunplas 2 layers of top coat each and i believe the can has enough for a SD, probably another MG? So we'll find out when i use it again.
The slightly brighter images are the ones i took earlier without flat clear. 

Images of the funnel system, middle pic is the one not top coated.


My gunplas posing on my piano after top coating.


I didn't top coat the rifle of Mk-II. So you can clearly see the different on the cannon and the rifle. The rifle has brighter black and the reflective shinny blue.(In case you wonder, rifle is the bottom gun, cannon, the big fat one.)


Here a few of the comparison of top coated and not. Notice the top coat ones are no longer shinny. =)


Hi-V finally gets its final coat after weeks.


It's a bit tricky to see the difference of the top coated and not with the Hi-V. It could be the lightning in the images but you'll clear see the difference when it's on display.

That's all the updates for now. Nu has yet to be assembled cause i'm busy with work. And will be busy in coming weeks as Fallout3 will be releasing within two days. =p It's one of my most favourite and most anticipated game since GTA4 and MGS4. *drools*

I have yet to fix the inking and apply decals for Strike Freedom, FAZZ and my big assssssssss Ex-S.

Next target for gundams? Probably Force Impulse Gundam while waiting for Bandai to release MG Gundam 00 Exia. I'm still not moved by its current non-grade gundams for Gundam 00.
