haha icic. Well good also. Black easier to print on laser jet.Originally posted by martin_lim85:yup its black on the a/c but on actual logo is white. its abit kind of hard to get the black/white one for the shape -
Yepz, those 2 fellas are from the Astray series, while the METEOR is from SeedOriginally posted by CenturionMBT:hey cool diorama.
Are those from the astray series? I.e red frame, blue frame? -
cant really rmb but i believe i got the case from the hobby shop at Suntec at the family link or some sort of that.Originally posted by martin_lim85:wow nice, btw where u get the terrain from?
the terrain i think i got from one modelling shop from Robinsons Orchard, not the one at Specialist John little . quite a hard shop to find. and the last time i went i couldnt find it. dunno is i get lost or the shop close.
its actually a kind of cloth or carpet which i stick over the floor of the case, the bushes and the trees are bought seperately -
i think i saw the one at specialist selling this kind of carpet grass like terrain.
didn't see the trees and bushes. But probably can be done with some green sponge. -
hey i know a model company called trumpeter making 1/144 armoured vehicles. Maybe you can make another diorama depeicting MS vs conventional armoured vehicles.

since sept??? How many parts in the box ?Originally posted by casshern:well, tat was what i have in mind actually, but the METEOR is killing me, alot of small details. been on at half of the instruction booklet since sept -
the trees are pre-made, and yes it can be DIY.Originally posted by CenturionMBT:i think i saw the one at specialist selling this kind of carpet grass like terrain.

the green stuff that i used for the bushes are actually of the same as the trees.
found it, here's how the pack of foliage it looks like front and back. think it will come in pretty useful for many of the military models like the tanks
in case cant see the price tag, its from central hobby plus for $8.50 per pack -
hahaha... i din count but i think the frames were from A to P or O if me not wrong.Originally posted by CenturionMBT:since sept??? How many parts in the box ?

added: the set doesn;t only contain the Meteor unit, but there's also the 1/144 unit of freedom gundam! -

Any idea which brand of F-5 that carries the AAR probe?
Or must I customise & craft the AAR probe myself (either in 1/72 or 1/48 scale)?
Anyone can advise on what to use + how to craft the AAR probe?
Thank you very much. -
Hi casshern, you might be talking about Central Hobby Plus which used to be at Centrepoint. Its now moved to Le Meridien Hotel's Shopping Centre, 2nd floor. Just one bus stop down from the old place.Originally posted by casshern:the terrain i think i got from one modelling shop from Robinsons Orchard, not the one at Specialist John little . quite a hard shop to find. and the last time i went i couldnt find it. dunno is i get lost or the shop close. -
The Italeri 1/72 F-5A Freedom Fighter has the probe. IIRC it offers 2 versions but one is the correct probe for RSAF F-5s. You'll have to get the F-5A and rob the kit for the F-5E/S probe. You still can build a perfectly good F-5A (w/o the probe) after that.Originally posted by Black Aces:Any idea which brand of F-5 that carries the AAR probe?

In 1/48 I'm afraid theres no conversion, AFAIK. -
Hi Viper52, thanks for the reply.Originally posted by Viper52:The Italeri 1/72 F-5A Freedom Fighter has the probe. IIRC it offers 2 versions but one is the correct probe for RSAF F-5s.

But how do one craft/mould a 1/48 (or even 1/32) AAR probe? I have seen 1/48 (or is that 1/32?) scale RSAF F-5S with AAR and when I asked one of the sales team @ one of those hobby shops where they got that (AAR), he directed me to those White-coloured plastic (?) sticks and told me to mould/customise form it? How do one mould/customise from those White-coloured sticks? -
from what i know, they use metal tubes and bend it to shape. After that they use polyester putty, or epoxy putty to form the head.Something like playing with plasticine.Originally posted by Black Aces:Hi Viper52, thanks for the reply.
