I bought black and white Tamiya acrylics from there for panel lining.

Of course there were plenty more, including metallic paints with X- series label. (if I'm not mistaken?)

Good luck hunting!

acrylics for panel lining? strange choice there.. people normally get enamel for panel lining..

@zheyuen: why would you choose acrylics over lacquer tho? they're more difficult to obtain.. lacquers are the way to go..

realize this is OT. ask on modelling thread la..

nvm la i guess it's ok to consolidate minor/simple modding techniques in this thread la. i think simple methods like type of paint/ panel lining still ok la.
if involve heavy modding (think chris' works) cut plastics drill holes special painting effect LEDs then go that thread la

its for hand painting actually. =/.

I am noob, so try acrylic for panel lining. Result not that good lor, very "sandy".

BTW, where can source for enamel in Klang Valley? Most hobby shops don't sell enamel, only Mr Hobby's lacquer/acrylic only.

Hi again, just ask u guys something

After apply the gold metallic gundam marker, should i apply something on the surface? because when i touch it after it dry, some gold color stick it on my fingers

don't touch it before it dry. if u did, u gotta remove it all.

also, gold marker colour become rather ugly after some time (months). :/
i rather use Mr Color Gold..

^^ try to dry it inside a/c room. It dries faster.

^ tried gold marker too myself, and it was very uneven. Will try my Pentel brand gold next time, mix with retarder perhaps.

handpaint lacquer also can ma.. just add retarder.

enamels can get from
1. tamiya underground (very exp)
2. tkting
3 icw

i'd go for option 2 and 3

I dunno where/what are tkting and icw ler.

Got weblinks?

tkting is a forumer here. search him

as for icw, pm rayloke for more info. he is also a forumer here.. scroll back a few pages, he got post here also.

bros...i just bought a 1/48 model....the painting must use airbrush or just those bottle ones will do ? hope some1 can enlighten me bout it

both will work fine. airbrush, industrial paint, spraycans, handpaint with bottles paints. all will work. even using whiteboard markers will work. just a question on how nice it will look..

ic...the best is ???

Best is airbrush lor. But I think if you hand paint, you hantam retarder kao kao, let it dry slowly in air tight room, it should be quite nice.

My guess only ha... haha.

ok....
