wta, where can i find tamiya shop that sells paint and etc in KL (Bukit Bintang area)?. aside from the one located in One U.

tqvm

wow thanks, very helpfull.

maybe can try in berjaya time sq? level 7 there is a shop, hobbys and toys if i'm not wrong, and level 5 also has a few places selling paint and some tools. time machine is one of them at level 5, inside the IT center

okie. will scout at the GA at level 7. level 5 IT center is new to me tqvm for the info.

Level 5 one already shifted to Level 1

the shop in Level 5 has shifted to Level 1, and it sells very limited paints or none at all
try the Level 2 one, just right above this Level 1 shop, it has lots of Mr Hobby paints, not sure if got Tamiya paints

okie. how different is Mr Hobby paints compare to Tamiya? quality/price wise advice is appreciate
but on the net saw many pipu use mr hobby paints as well, so i think this brand is quite good for gunpla painting. correct me if i'm wrong

Hi all, got a quick question here. I notice my Olfa hobby blades and side cutters tend to rust very easily even though I take care to store them in relatively dry places. Does anyone know of any tips or tricks to keep tools rust free?

try use baby oil, my knife and nipper no rust until now, 2years++

I assume you are using industrial spray can. This is from my experience using spray can(industrial), I was nvr able to get it right even with proper masking and all, the reason is industrial spray cans has a very high air pressure therefore the paint is thick & wet. While it is thick and wet, it's easy for it to go "under" the masking tape causing an unsatisfied result. I always get this if i use industrial and it also leaves a noticeable layer if you have 2 colors on a part. Unless you're able to spray a very thin layer but that would be very wasteful for a spray can.
Just my 2 cents and hope you get what i meant

to mask curvy area, either you cut according to shape or cut into smaller piece and form the shape.
Test it on a part before doing it. Curvy parts are tricky which is why need more practice.
Sometimes i do like this and it depends on the part. IF the parts has a deep gap line(panel line), put the wide(bigger) masking tape on top of it, use a very sharp blade(pen knife like ofla preferred) also cut through following the gap line following the shape. Of course not too hard until you scratch the part, adjust your strength by just cutting the masking tape only.

Johnson's baby oil? Hmm I guess any sort of oil would do, even WD40. But does it cause issues when you cut with it? Does the surface of your kit get all oily and stuff?

yeah, at first time will very oily and slippery, beware my thumb cut couse of this lol, but after some time the oil will less and less..

WTA:
I'm a newbie of air brushing. Totally no idea about it. Please recommend me which air brush kit and compressor for gunpla. How much and where to get it?
