4 leg unicorn la ah-pek!

btw, whenever i paint enamel, why does it feel quick sticky? does anyone have the same problem as me? is it cos the paint hasn't cured yet?

do Zippo fluid good for washing lacquer paint? so far i know Zippo fluid good for enamel paint

and between Zippo and China fluid made which one are better?
i saw huge different price for both (RM5.50 vs RM1.50
wonder if quality are same

i see......

the 4 leg unicorn is awesome, i keep staring at it for like a minute before i start to move again

i'm too shy to call anyone la, everyone so busy there, dont want to disturb you all having fun with all the sticky stuff

urm.. Zippo fluid won't work on lacquer paint mate. that's why people use it for enamel wash. because it attacks enamel paint, but not lacquer paint.

also, i think its very ill advised to go china brand. if you take and burn, maybe no difference, but if you take for modelling, better to stick to zippo brand. i mean, difference only rm4 mah..

Hi Guys,

I am installing some metal thrusters on my kit. Normally do you all spray the metal parts as I saw some of the thruster at the end has some gold or red shading.

Anyone who has done it please do comment

Thanks

issit? then lucky i dont buy it yet.. thanks for helping!

Some metal thrusters comes with colors, mostly is red color.

If yours do not, or u intend to have other color, eg blue, yes, u gotta paint it, with clear paint.

if u find the paint having problem sticking onto the metal, prime the thruster with metal primer. Metal primer is a transparent liquid so it wont disturb the metal shine of the metal thruster.

dunno if this have been posted before, but for those who cant find the pop sickle stick for elcheapo sanding stick in a nearby shop,
you can try pharmacy. i just told the pharmacist there i want the stick that doc used to check for sore throat
not sure this is considered cheap or not

Thanks Rayloke,

I am actually not using the ready made thrusters which are already coloured. As it is already metal thought of spraying just the end of it with the clear yellow or blue to have the burnt effect, but as I am only spraying the end not sure if it will turn out with a line where it is not sprayed....guess will have to try it out....

As always thanks for the assist Rayloke.

Yes, this is good, my opinion, even better than using ice cream stick which is more narrow. Good tips!


after try, do share with us

i think no need to worry that much, if u thin the clear color well, u will see actually it's very transparent. So basically u need to slowly spray quite a number of layers before it become very visible. This means u have a lot of time to spray, check, n spray until the effect u like. it's pretty safe process actually.


Probably the only dangerous thing in this is, when u almost cant see anything after the 1~2 layers, got impatient n spray with high volume of paint; which result in tearing of the paint. Just spray thin layer by layer, u can eliminate this.

but after soaking it in a water for some time, the stick will bend.
not much a problem i guess.

use sanding sticks(hard sticks with sanding surface) best
if cant find it, can use those for manicure ones instead

or else jz wrap around a metal ruler
