I’m on vacation this week but I’m working on MG Altron
wirelesswireI’m currently working on HG Messer. I’m also working on a custom action base for my Vidar, and hangar for Messer, but those are kinda side projects.
Where do you all source your kits, tools, and supplies from? I’m good on my sources, but I’m curious for what others do.
BTW, if you’re in the USA, several online shops are running Labor Day sales, so it’s a good time to pick up an extra kit or supplies if you’re looking.

My last few kits have been from P-Bandai, but I’ve been using The Gundam Place Store for my supplies. Their shipping charges are comparable to other US based stores but they are about an hour from me so sometimes I pick up my orders in person when the wife wants to galavant on the weekends.
That’s pretty cool. My local anime shop is pretty nice, but I’d like to visit one of the larger warehouse-style shops sometime, like USAGS or Gundam Planet.
TallonMetroidMy stuff is usually split from Newtype, USA Gundam Store, my local hobby shop, and bigbadtoystore.com. The last is more a general toy store that a dedicated hobby/model shop, but they’ll hold your stuff for up to 90 days to let you consolidate shipping to the continental US for a flat $4.
