Look for Hobimax local malaysian modelling magazine

Btw, can try browse for either:

hobbiescorner.com
mgs2u.com
af hobby

ah.. and agent men in pain

local hobby shop is in the pinned thread under Hobbies, Collectible and Model kits.
use the search function, it's really useful

thx lots... it's like so much to ask if like any compressor will do oh must it be a spec for it, stuff like that.

any thx for the heads up

dunno wat's going to be ur preference and budget, got few types also, expensive and cheap.

I think there's a thread talking about airbrush and compressor, can try search for it to understand more.
basically it's with or without airtank for the compressor as other features are mostly standard these days.

airbrush go for 0.3mm dual action, for general application.
0.2mm for fine work, 0.5mm for large area spraying.

is there a air brush for all in one you advice to get?

0.3mm, quite general for all purpose usage.

other features are only design, price, brand, and also the location of the paint cup (gravity or suction/siphon feed).

great your lots of help ..... got any compressor i need to look out for? may be name brands of pic?

i guess the rest is youtube tutor on how to make it work...

look for the above contact posted earlier to see if they have something suited for u.

i can't really say what suits u best, but why not look for what's available around and see if it suits u instead

i have check in xl shop is 750 a good price for the hold pack? .... guys advice pls....

u got the link?
i'm not really got updated wt xl merchandise so may not be aware of the hold pack you are talking about.

but my guess is that handpiece + compressor with air tank, pressure regulator, auto-off, moisture trap should be around rm600.
not branded one though. a branded handpiece alone may exceed 1000

oh no link last nite gone to midvally

he says it's for beginner so i am not so aware of it maybe to night will head to time square and check it out.

guess with that kinda deal for 600 is not to bad !....

I dont know much about compressor, however i would advise u to get a better one if budget allowed n if u think u will stick to this hobby for long. Mine lasted for 20 years, since the day i was still an illustrator/visualizer.

As erh_teo mentioned, try get one with tank. With a tank means the compressor do not have to work all the time; only when the air pressure in the tank hit a pre-set low mark. Reduce electricity usage n noise pollution. Notice a lot of modelers only have time to work at night so the best is to hear the sound before purchase.

As for hand piece, see it as this: a, air brush hand piece is like a paint brush in water color. basically how fine n well the result majority factor depends on skill. However, with a good tool, it will enhance the outcome of an already skillful work. I guess u mostly do gundam, so i think a 0.3mm would be good; in between 0.2mm n 0.5mm.

letting go my kit =)

Guys, got a question here. This is actually molded in clear pink, refer the pic below.



What colors do i use to have the end result like this? And also how do i actually achieve it? Thanks >_<

hi, want to ask,

1)i always read that air gauge is important for compressor, but i never found an easy explanation to understand. so what is the use of air gauge?

2)how to colour unicorn psycho frame, cause it is transparent, can i just use any colour? wont the transparent be covered if i colour the the frame?
