I dont really recommend u using Anchor primer as it is.....well, not really a "primer"...
It will forms a layer of transparent "rubber" over ur gunpla. I dont feel it actually helps on ur painting...
I used once and decided never ever wan to use it again....
Then i changed to Mr Hobby surfacer and now never look back....

well, if you ab them, then it shouldn't be a big problem for you.. just get a bottle of surfacer and you're good! its actually abit hard to see how you'd go back to spraypaints once you start to AB.. hahah

Up for this question . I might try building resin conversion kits and the only resin primer I know is the Mr color spray can. Is there other bottled resin primer out there?

I also want to know that....
Some said the normal Mr hobby Surfacer will do the job for resin...

can ecoplay kit to be paint?

lol... any kit can be painted dude..
ecoplay is just re-used recycled plastic.. that's all...

Funnyface

Actually my using the spray can primer is due more of the setting up time for my AB. I normally try to mod and stuff during the weekdays and only ab on weekends. Also found the Anchor cans to be cheap at RM 5. Yes it does give a rubbery layer when I tested it on some sprues that's why not sure if there will be a reaction to Mr color. Anyway will try over the long weekend then.

getting a injection machine hope can paint nicely hehe. about the seamline i also hardly yet understand to fix it..

i see...
seamline is just a gap of 2 parts when "combine" together..
depends how deep or wide it is, you may need putty to cover it..
If it's just a small line cement will do.. once dry can start sanding and the seam line will blend together and when prime, it'll be unnoticeable.

guys i wanna ask... where do u guys buy paints for ur model kits? i've went to one utama's tamiya to check out their paints, they have great choices but price wise they cost a bomb... rm18 per arcrylic bottle, i've seen in BTS selling around below rm 10... so do u guys get ur paints from? thanks in advance...

Hi TheAnimal,

What brand and type of paints are you looking at?

tamiya's acrylic and also enamel(tamiya in one utama say they dont bring in enamels)... btw, any where in malaysia can find gunze sangyo paints?

my friend just borrow (actually was given as FOC) his cousin's AB compressor to me. there were no accessories at all. just the compressor alone and the age of this thing is about >15 years old. weight about 19kg and my leg was shaking after i carried all the way to my walk-up apartment on the 3rd floor. I was told that the compressor had been sitting in his cousin store room untouched for more than 7 years. i try switch on the compressor and did felt some air blowing out from the valve but it was dead silence without any compressor sound at all? is this normal? anyway my question is where can i find the compatible hose and AB for this antique

i think the brand is called "Rhino" as indicated on the box but never reveal the model of it neither can be found on the compressor itself.

gunze sangyo is mr color. easy enough to find in just about all decent hobby shops in kl..xl and the shop next to graffiti in BTS stock them. otherwise, there's tkting or icw if you're in subang/pj area. similarly, both icw and tkting stock tamiya enamels as well as gaia lacquer paints.

cool... will check them out... for tamiya acrylic paints no choice but to buy from tamiya themselves?

u got yourself a very nice gift. This is the type of compressor a modeler should get, if financially there's no problem.

Basically it's the same type of compressor u find at your refrigerator; powerful, stable, and silent.

u think it's an antique, well, it might be. But more importantly it says a fact: this compressor memang tahan lama. Mine, i think is at least 20 year old and it's working fine; more quiet and stable than compressors i saw my friends own.

since yours had been idle for so many years, probably u need to spend a little money to give it an overall service. i can recommend someone to u; he's also a modeler so u guys should be on the same wave length. He's profession is actually dealing with compressors. u can also ask him to check out the specs of your compressor: how big the air tank, how often the motor need to run, air gauge, moist trap etc etc.

it might cost u a few hundred bucks (mebbe approx. RM200); but trust me, once it's done, this thing should at least last u another 10 years. OF course, unless u think the hobby wont last that long.....

ic... thanks for the head up... can you pm me your friend's numbers? i'm staying in puchong btw. hope your friend stay in Klang Valley too

hallo there,
i got a few questions,hope this is not repost
is mr.white putty enough for covering SD gundam holes?
and can we paint over it with acrylic paint using brush(wont it look bad)?
im a miskin modeler and still new to this hobby..huhuhu

no actually... mr putty doesn't give you the hardness if you will to fillout holes.. but its real easy.. just go to your hardware store, and tell them you want epoxy putty. it comes in 2 sticks. you need to mix em up in equal parts (very important or it won't set properly) and it will become malleable like plasticine. use that to fill in the holes. very easy.after that just sand down after allowing it to set for a day.. good luck bro!

surely must try that later,hehehehe.
thanks for the tip.. xD
