Anyone here knows how to remove topcoat? I sort of overdid it and frosting happened. For now i just use pen-knife to slowly scrap off the frosting but it really takes time and come parts are hard to scrap particular panel lining edge, thanks

thanks, will try to find em tomorrow.

done the 2nd leg




still need some training though.

wow...that was neat bro....
what grid do you use??
where can i get those ??

Hye GunPla Gurus.

I have recently bought a Mr.Primer Surfacer 1000 from a shop in E@curve. As i was told, a primer was suppose to be the 1st coating for your gunpla models.
But i soon found out, the primer had a white ish colour, so whenever i sprayed it on a red colour plastic, itll look a little white ish.... Is that how a Mr.Primer Surfacer 1000 suppose to work?

Also, where can i get a Mr.Top Coat Flat base / semi gloss. Couldnt find one. I live In Kelana Jaya, a shop closer to Kelana Jaya would be nice.. Thank you gundam gurus!

400,600,800 & 1500 (maybe can skip 600). bought them from a hardware store nearby. brand cap ayam obviously
and finish it with mr compound coarse.

i almost got it right i think. those sanded part is still not as shiny as the original

hye....m just starting to get my hand on spraying n come to c this...very curious...for the inner frame....do we spray it part by part or build it then spray the whole pieces?

sorry if this question been ask b4 as i am so xcited n cant wait to know the answer...but meanwhile i will browse page by page for more info....thanks

i'm doin, build first then spray them....
thats for inner frame....
heee

suppose the color will be in grey color. nex time u use try soak the spray can in 'WARM' water, well shake then oni using it.


btw u can use commercial primer spray as well. i been using anchor brand primer (rm6.50-rm7), works fine for me ( for spraying dark tone color la, light tone better use white primer)

bro, if you from kelana jaya area.
Then the one and only thing you couldn't miss is...
ICW - Infinite Creation Workshop.

Woooo! Googled it up! Its VERY CLOOOSE!!! Wish i can get some hand on experience there. Bought A lot of model kits with an air brush set. Wanted to improve the old model kits built.

Unfortunately, i just dont know what to apply first...
There is a MrSurfacer, MrPrimerSurfacer... MrTopCoat.... Still have the Sinanju, wing zero, and GP03F to build... and if i manage to pull out a Job Well Done, then i am going to order from a friend of mine in Japan a Zeta Perfect Grade... And a 00 Riser perfect... IF that is i manage a JOB WELL DONE... hahaha

@mx007 , there u go
some1 should quote this on 1st post

I m not sure what do u mean by whitish, any photo to show?

Anyway, primer surfacer is a new product line by Gunze, when u use any primer or surfacer, it's meant to cover all the original color of the plastic with a layer of gray. It means u have gotta paint everything. Is that what u r looking for?


Btw, ICW is initially workshops for 4 modelers, mainly gunpla modelers. Later since there r extra space, we decided to sell some modeling related stuff for local modelers. There r space n spray booth. If u come over, we can demo a little n tell u if there's anything wrongly done, even spray job. Hope to see u soon!

you work in ICW?

the map a bit confusing, i went to 1U and KBU before, but the map in that website

since i saw some extra space there, can i buy gundam and built there from scratch? after building maybe can go down for some bakut teh

i jz bought Mr. Hobby Color paint bottles
does the paint need to be mix with thinner or can direct use?
i bought clear colour paints

need to mix, if not it will be too thick

Actually this place is own by 4 modelers, including me.

We use this place as our own workshop for modeling, since then there r quite some modelers friends came to hang out, and sometimes when they need emergency stuff(especially during night), we ll sell it to them from our own arsenal.

Since there r still space, after we made our room/workshop, we decided to open it as a shop n sell some modeling stuff to cover rental, maintainence, electric n water bill.

Check out this thread:
http://forum.zerogunz.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8201

The 1/4 of the place is for selling only. other places are basically consist of tables n chairs, ab spray booth, library, photo booth, display cabinet all for free. our intention is something like a club for modelers.

the display cabinet, if u want to see other modelers' work, there r quite some of them Eg last year's bakuc champion, Gb champion, 1st runner up n such. give u great ideas n seeing other works will push your skill to a next level.

Usually people just come to hang out, find reference (we have the latest dengeki n hobby japan if u dont feel like buying but just want to read), work on their model (we even have cabinet for them to store tools, for those who cannot work at home, so they dont have to transfer their stuff everytime they come), take photo n such.

For example, this fella work his model here n already completed 2 since he started working n learning. just a glimpse:


Usually we share ideas. information, n knowledges. so people come to ask questions; if the question is too unusual, there'r modelers here with different background n knowledge trying to crack the nut together.


In a nutshell, this is a workshop, lair, private club for all plastic modelers.

The only thing we cannot solve right now is: 4 of us r doing this as hobby, so we have jobs n can only manage to open the place at night.


P/S: There r numerous Group build gatherings and workshop (as in learning new techniques in modeling) happened in the place too, which we let them use it for the event for free. If u free, next saturday, 6th Aug, there will be one GB having gathering n showcase of work here. Do come n look see n make some friends.

This is post we put in some local forum :http://z12.invisionfree.com/ScaleModelsMal...0&#entry3237867



*mod: if u think this is not proper , sorry, pls delete this.

next week cannot, got exam on that day

too bad lar, you all open at night, i see quite a variety of tools you have there, especially the paint and spray can, maybe next time when i feel like going out to makan angin maybe will drop by that place to get some tools

btw, the paint i buy from Time Machine is lacquer paint, and is metallic silver, i use it for panel line, since i didnt paint the gundam so i assume it is save to use for panel line

but the paint still look so thick even after i added 2 or 3 drops of thinner, if i add more the color will break down.

i feel like metallic silver is quite messy, once i've done with the line, then i clean up the excessive, but when i wipe that time i wipe the panel together

i only use tissue then put a drop or two thinner on it and wipe, how to prevent it from wiping the panel? or need to wait for the paint to dry then only wipe?

mix it
the ratio could be 1:2 i guess
not too thick, not too thin based on my experience

hi. i'm not sure if this question had been asked before, so i'm gonna just ask it..
how to remove/clean nub on the model kit? do you used marker or paint or what? sorry if this question have been asked..
i'm gonna look up on this for a while.. so, thanx for help..
