I know ABS plastic quite dangerous to use with Lacquer
but I plan to AB my kit(previously I hand painted which Lacquer paint slowly break one and more parts)

do risk still have?

oh I see
so its 50-50 then

last time hand painted with lacquer(Gaianotes) the inner frame for Zaku 2.0
the part broke by itself

but with lacquer spray can,nothing happened
I guess must be the paint-thinner ratio problem

Anchor and Samurai paint actually since I only use both brand
hmm, not sure if I post this before

this is what its look with Samurai paint flat coat


sorry no closer look though due to my poor ability camera

they label it as "Flat Clear"
while label with "Clear" are gloss type

i want to ask, does this applies to gundam markers too? making the plastic brittle?

i had an mg, where a part of the inner frame i coloured it with the markers, (in the end realizing it wont show anyways) and then i erase using the gundam marker eraser. did dat a few times iinm, to clean that part.

then when i attempt to connect it to the shoulder part, not yet connect, just nearly, it patah by itself. im trying to find out the reason behind it broken, so i wont do the same mistake again. thanx in advance ya. 

Hi, I know there are a lot of experience modelers here, so I'm going to ask a question  regard Tamiya Epoxy Putty. I used it for extend my model kit parts, I mix them with 1:1 ratio and then stick it to the part I want. And I left it for 4-5hours then do some shaping, after that left it for 1 days for completely harden.

This is the first time I use it, so I'm wondering is it the finishing will be gummy or it should completely solid feel? Mine just gave me gummy feel and now already 2 days since I applied it. Hope people here are kind enough to answer me, thanks.

Hi gurus,

I am kinda new to this thread but has been doing model for quite a while, so I hope my question is appropriate here.
Would like to ask about :-

1. How you all make a sticker on the model look like water decal or pressure decal style. Generally it is about trying to make the edge of sticker look as transparent and not noticeable as possible. Coating ?

2 . Related to question 1, I was trying to skip the simple sticker like a small one with just few black line with panel lining painting. But struggling in steadily drawing it. Is there such a tool (metal/plastic) where it serve kinda like a shape masking so can paint it easier.   

3. Lastly, also related to question 1 , to completely overcome the sticker problem, I often looking for water decal, but really struggle in looking for PG astray red frame one. Anyone know where to get this ?

lots of question and I hope my "explanation" is not too bad 

   

Thanks man, I will check out the FB page and the Mark setter for more info 

Based on my limited experience with epoxy putty, it should be rock hard and not gummy like you mention. Probably because of the humidity factor in since it will effect the drying process of putty.
