hi bro ^^ no problem ^^ will send u tonight ^^

Uhh guys, currently I'm building my HG 1.5 Gundam. I bought a can of Mr. Hobby Mr. Super Clear Flat. I tried praying it on a disc but it looks grainy to me or it is supposed to be so? Any skills that I should use? Thanks!

Flat top coat does make the surface looks grainy. Tha's how it creates a matte finish.
But dunno how grainy your situation is, it might be also caused by too thick of coating.

Show a picture and we can help you more.

But generally, never do flat coating during wet weather. Spray approx. 30 cm away from your model. Try moving the spray can around so the liquid won't get accumulated at 1 spot. Most important, don't over do it

got whitish effect after use flat coat...

the spray too near to the surface kot??

top coat should always be done outside.............
i got the similar grainy effect when done inside, move outside......problem solved

I think you spray too closely/concentrated

Uhh, maybe you can -grainyness because the photo lotsa noise ><

Another tip before you are going to use Topcoat:
Don't spray when the humidity is high and under cold temperature (e.g. room with air-con), topcoat will screw your gunpla's appearance if you spray under those condition.

Hey guys...Actually I'm wondering you all heard solar model kit before? @@

For those of you who have worked with resin kits before, is it necessary to wash the resin parts with dish detergent first before starting to work on them?

i have not work with them before BUT It is NECESSARY to clean them because to get rid of the "oil" so you can sand them properly and also when AB, it will stick better
