i think the sand paper is for rubbing of the excess plastic after u cut a part
my friend has an akatsuki MG but he havent stated building becuz damn is not just hard to
cut out the part but also hard to rub of the excess due to the fact that the part itself is in shining gold color
and uh panel lining does need a gundam marker but also can just use a small fine brush with black paint to do it

wakakakakaa......... i though tis topic is for who play SDGO taiwan......
suddenly become a gundam modelling teaching forum
nevermind le, anything can chat here

atleast i can hear on who to made modelling work in latest way, long long long time not play, even last time i made modelling tat time, gundam is not tat popular yet, people play mostly cars, tanks, battleship, aircrafts & bikes. (as tat time, children r not as rich as now, mostly adult r the fans in modelling, so I just follow my uncle & made few cars, tanks & battleships & remember got 1 Gundam also I think is Sazabi tat i keep my daily canteen breakfast money bit by bit to buy, so most of the time I only use the default colour unless my uncle got some extra to spare me, if not it is just to expensive to me back to 90s)

btw all my free roll come up with lap sap, all MS but all useless, I think i got 2 zaku (in mandarin the name is in 3 words, I think is the shortest name in the prize list tat 1, another 1 I forget as I saw I get it also no mood jor dun wan to remember....)

Added on April 23, 2011, 12:41 pmNot being rude, but Akatsuki has no MG. It has only 1/144 HG and 1/100 No grade. The sand paper is for rubbish excess plastic, but not if do not want to paint the whole thing. What you do to get rid of excess plastic is, cut out the pieces and let a little bit of runner stick to it, and cut out the excess with a cutter. If there is a bit left, you can use a modelling knife to slowly slice it off. If you use the sand paper, the whole plastic will be scratched. The reason why some pro modellers use sand paper is they sand the WHOLE part, so it becomes totally smooth, and they paint it with air brush.

Well maybe to you guys nowdays. I would prefer fully repaint the whole thing instead of the marker

PS: Really no ones knows where resin kits can be found in kl?

My IGN :异想世界

Nice to meet you all : )

Dude from what I remember, those tank, battleship miniatures usually cost alot more compare to a hg 1/144 gunpla during that time. If my memory still serve me well, the hg grade is sold for around rm50 to 60+ range that time, where the bb senshi is bout rm25+ to rm30+. I use my part time income to get maybe around 1 hg kit per month during secondary school time. Only after graduated, which is in the late 90s, I get my 1st mg grade gunpla evangelion model.

How the hell I know where you live, and I dont live in ipoh

I have no clue where to get resin kits cause I dont deal with them. My painting equipment and skill isnt enough for me to tackle that sort of stuff yet.

I have a question about the SD Cash , how u guys get it ? my storage is full .. but i dunno how i can get the cash to add more slot ><"

Older day resin kits did require alot of skill cause beside just painting, one would need to do such as line scribing job to improve the detail level of the overall model. But from what I check online yesterday, I saw some resin kit such as those from g system, which is already well made already. If you are not too fussy, its detail level is indeed better even with just air brush or paint spraying job, even though it cant offer as much pose as gunpla can offer la. But the feel as compare to merely plastic, resin and metal mixture is way better. Try check out the funnel tray



And there are some multi color cast resin kit available now and the whole thing can be finish with some decent paint job
G System Gerbera Tetra

Lol now we are totally out of topic already


PM kkloveit bout it. He the only here with a verified account which could help you with m points purchase

so wat i saw was a no grade akatsuki cuz the size is 1/100 and damn how will he do it
is in shiny gold!!!

Is your friend akatsuki the same as what this guy posted?
http://s10.invisionfree.com/GundamNation/i...p?showtopic=461

As according to him, there no worry while cutting the golden shinning parts, as most of the nub marks are on the inner side of the piece

nope he havent started building it cuz he find it hard to make it

Too bad then, as from what I know no paint will get you near close to the default gold chrome plating. I personally would avoid chrome plating gunpla to begin with, as with some slight mishandling, the plated parts will be scratched and its bye bye.

The only way I can think of now is when cutting the parts off the sprue, try left 1 to 2mm extra and slowly file it down with care to prevent nub marks.

i was going to get a unicorn HG
until i saw this
THISS!!! i must HAVE!!!



and btw lately been using BC rank to battle
not interested on S rank battle lately haiz

Add me in msn kevin1991_1@hotmail.com

I can guide you and help you to get cash items.

Wut? NG 1/100 is one of the easiest model to build. Dont have to worry about the gold plating. Just take it as an average plastic will do. Just make sure you dont apply any cement or and solution on it, or you will melt the gold plating. When making gold chrome gunpla is just to be more carefull when you are cutting nub marks. But still you can touch it up using gold marker.

Let me share some of my gunpla here
