So on the light of Kidou Senshi Unicorn eps 3, the quad-wing Kshatriya has lost in battle. But it has not lost her existence in my collection :) Couple of days last week, I've been having decal affair with the green wings. Finally I'm doing it! I already bought the samuel water decals around last year.
And so here's the result *jepret2x* ^^
 |
| Decals on the wings |
 |
| Decals on the right side |
 |
| Decals on the left side |
 |
| Another shot on left side |
 |
| Bottom half |
 |
| Upper half |
 |
| Back side |
Eventually lots of decals end up in the back side ^^;; The darker green makes decals really stand out :)
18 decals in total..
Actually there're still unused decals, cause I'm too exhausted to continue *fiuuh* My first experience decaling.. I can say it's like hell! Very exhaustive.. Cut decals, dip inside water, drying, adjusting to the right position, apply mark softener, took a lot of time and concentration, and can easily screwed up..
Now Kshatriya looks better :)
And now it's time to fly to Jakarta again, holiday! :D See you again ^^/

Woohoo.. finally ^__^
pretty neat job for a first timer :D
I like the darker green color
Did samuel's came with pre-cut decals like Bandai's? or you have to cut it manually?
Wow, I didn't know the 3rd episode is out already o_0
hehe thx bro, what's up? any gunpla lately? :D
No, samuel's not pre-cut, must do it manual.. T_T *nangis bombay*
I'd say the most tiring part is adjusting position and softening so it looks like the marking is painted directly on armor ^^;;;
while softening, sometime it moves out of the position when i thought already firm, or the marking got scratch while rubbing it dry or softening T_T is it the samuel's quality? I never try bandai's..
Yeah Eps 3 just realeased this month!! :D
No new gunpla here...
I'm too busy lately >.<
No pre-cut? IC
Hehehe, I never use mark softer/setter.
Try to adjust the decals with wet cotton bud, and dry it with dry cotton bud. Just push it gently, don't rub it. And do it on glossy surface :D
setter i think just to make it faster, not really necessary.. but never tried though..
but using softer, it looks better, the plastic almost unseen..
I use cotton bud, but still.. maybe still impatient and need more experience hehe..
