Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
locally, theres only a hand full of shops i know of that sells gundams, imperial hobbies have a limited selection, magic box hobbies have a slightly bigger selection than imperial, but prices r a tad bit more expensive, and the 3rd/4th shop is located in crystal mall, right beside the elevator. there is a gift shop that have a large selection of gundam, and another corner shop piggy backing this gift shop that sells gundams only, but this piggy back shop is open on weekends only.
as for prices, i find the crystall mall shops comparable to online sites from the states, usually just $5 more, so if u factor in shipping it'll cost more to buy from states.
as for over seas, i have not tried yet, but big sites like hobby link japan and 1999.co is sometimes half the price of the kits here
All my kits were bought through Hobby Search/1999.co.jp. Shipping averages out to 8 dollars, and most newer kits are easily available. 15 dollars for a HG Kampfer Amazing kit that JUST released this month. Seems that it's difficult to find gundam kits in Vancouver that aren't super outdated
bumping this up, besides building gundams, im looking into collecting die cast airplanes.
anyone know any shops locally that stocks them? or which manufactures makes the most detailed looking airplanes? im talking about commercial jets, not military aircraft.

Just got out of Imperial Hobbies. Place was nuts for about an hour. 25% off everything. So many wargaming addicts. Most need to taske a shower. Line up was pretty bad because of bad BO. It's like RS. 99.86% guys.
Too bad it isn't about flipping cars to lose money, I'm really good at that.

EDIT: nvm, it is available from their US site, Volks USA.
These models sell out fast. Once gone, expect to pay a lot of money when eBay becomes only option. The Shinden model I wanted sold out very quickly. I could have purchased it for just under 100 bucks. They are going for an average of 200 bucks.

Imperial Hobbies 25% off sale all week.
Magic Box is also having their Boxing Day sale. 20% off everything. Their prices aren't inflated like Imperial so about the same. I'm going to load up on Tamiya primer paint.
i was wondering if there are any hobbyists that play with LED lighting? if yes, where do you buy locally?

I have a bunch of 5mm LED's. Do you want the clear ones like in that video? I have at least a hundred. I also have yellow, pink, blue, green, and orange.
Let me know like now as I am going to my storage locker right now.......

Buddy, you haven't seen anything yet. There are tonnes of stuff like this on the Internet. And, there are plenty of people doing amazing things and not sharing it with others - mainly because there's no time.

not sure what to get. this is for automotive diecast stuff.
backstory: i bought this a few years back as a commisioned build online. it's a 1/18 motormax unmarked that was done up to be a gotham police department crown vic from the last movie of the trilogy:
but the work was not up to par, with bad paint and the custom decals are coming apart (eg. the "police" logo on the rear door)
so i'm going to suck it up and try to redo everything on my own. i want to strip off the decals and try to wetsand the paint, recreate the waterslide decals and then clear over them... at least that is the plan?
i've also never clearcoated over decals before successfully. when i used to build plastic kits i tried it once and the clear ate up the decals... not sure where i went wrong

does anyone know of the local shop that does chrome/black chrome plating for plastic? it might have been a hydrographics business. i remember seeing them advertising their services at a model exhibition a many years back but i've since lost their business card. i was hoping a modeler here might know who i'm talking about. i think they were based in coquitlam or poco.
