    I'm from Australia, I own an airbrush but have never used it, I dont have a suitable compressor. I paint inside the house so i have to stick to hand painting. Too cold outside.

    Hakka.

    Most accurate is a bit cocky, as I've seen many more accurate Powered up prime customs, but it still is a great custom. but "Most accurate so far in the world" is not true.

    Hi all,

    Sorry to crash in this thread but I'm left with few choices.

    Hey alanmukkl,
    I've sent you a few figures to paint sometime back (few years back actually, before I decided myself to jump into the customizing world, just for my own hobby) but there wasn't any progress. When asked, you told me that your team ran out of paint. Is that some very lame and poorly thought of excuse to delay the project?

    I may not know rocket science but please try not to treat me like a fool. Afterwhich, I tried to email you continuously but none were replied.

    Now...I see a 'most accurate in the world Prime Jet'. I do hope that you're not attempting a Chris Morada stunt on me.

    Please let me know.

    Nice job there. I have seen your work before as I used to visit the outpost. But I am still trying to piece the USD1000 expense you mentioned. Unless you are using severely expensive paint, USD1000 seems quite alot. Sorry to sound like this, but I am still pondering on the exorbitant cost. USD1K would translate around nearly RM3.15K. And that is alot of ringgit and dosh with some buffer to spare.

    Does your USD1000 factored in the painting/ labour costs?

    Not flaming or anything, just trying to figure out the breakdown of the costs.

    Oh one more thing, I am at awe of your custom. I don't have your skill and mastery of your paint strokes , but to say it is the most accurate in the 'world', it's a bit stretching it.

    HI there...

    As mentioned that figures cost a lot more here in Malaysia and we spend on other small details such as getting a custom acrylic, 3 different boxes of Gundam...1 tank model kit, 2 buster prime and 2 jet fire, paints, 1 black bird model kit...total up is at USD 967.40...

    Pretty expensive i have to say. But my country really sucks in pricing.

    Sorry mate...nice costum on the picture you send...but please look at the scale carefully on jet fire engine...thats one of few flaws i have seen so far...Not to say its not great looking but my point here is doing a custom works is not just get what ever material we have and stick it up to look like the artwork...if you are into serious model kit builder, accuracy on scale does count as part of custom works.

    If you look at the picture and compare...the custom prime in the picture looks a little too skinny...see what i mean?

    I like it...its just my 2 cents as a modeler...and when we air brush, we try to get the most accurate color and effects too...

    Great work and I hope its yours?

    Hi alanmukkl:

    I've responded your personal message via PM also.
    Basically I mentioned which figures I sent to you and also provide with the order numbers that consist of proof of payment of the work.

    Please tell me how would you solve this, because it has been many years back already.

    Sorry, but this is NOT the "most accurate in the world"
    OP went on a tangent a while ago arguing that your Jetprime was better than one that another boardie saying how scale in all matters, well...Look at the back of your figure in comparison to the reference..

    Yeah...you got that all wrong.
