Ever wonder why your built “Gundam Model Kit” right out from the box is totally way different from the one you see in the recent BAKUC 2008 Gundam Modelling Competition.

Well, its simple. Modification was done to it. Just like you see on the street, a Proton Waja has been modified to look like a Mitsubishi Evo.
Mecha Modification varies from:
- Custom Paint scheme
- Custom decals
- Add on parts from Kotobukiya
- metal parts
- Pla-plate (styrene sheets) for detailing or for Scratch Building additional parts
- joint modification for better articulation
- etc…
So WHERE do we buy all the accessories to buff up our mecha? You can try to scout the local Hobby/toy shops around Klang Valley. They do carry some of the items listed above and prices varies from one shop to another.
Instead of wasting your petrol on travelling to look for such shops, why not try to shop online?
