Hi Guys,

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get the Ic socket in Penang? Been looking for it but most shops don't have or don't even know what is is...

Hi Inquisytor,

Thanks for the lead. Do you have the name of the shop so that I can get my Kl colleague to buy for me.

Thanks

Hi All

Need some help in identifying how this is done. I am trying to find out what is used to create the gold color piping in the picture that is connected to the thrusters and the sides. It is too small to be used sprues and too straight to be electrical wires. Any idea? Got this off www.ver-ed.com

Hi, this is eday's work. The gold parts is one of his favorite mod, which he use brass wire, twist them n glue on the kit. Then prime the whole thing, color. In the end, he slowly use thinner to wash off the color on top of the brass wire and let the original metal color be shown.

I dont think he explain this in this project's wip. If u really wanna check, do read thru his old wip, he should have mentioned it. Else u can search http://www.zerogunz.com for his other old wips. I remember someone asked him the same thing before.
Actually we believe the contain is lead, pure lead. That's why it sticks. Years ago, newspaper was printed with lead, hence everytime after reading newspaper, our fingers are dark (I believe u r not born yet in that era tongue.gif) It should be toxic to consume by mouth. Besides that it really sticks onto your finger; so recommend to wear gloves.

Hi Rayloke

Thanks so much for the info. Yes it is from eday's work. Any idea where to buy the brass wire? I don't seem to see it in hardware stores or hobby stores locally.

hi guys

Need some help on This. I am starting to use primer for painting and modding and would want to know if I were to use the Rm 5 Primer in a can from Anchor and for the primary colors using mr color, would there be any problems.

Not sure if the two types of paint can mix or react.

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

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.

Hi guys,

Would like to ask how do you apply water slide decals across two separated sections? Been trying to do it a few times unsuccessfully.

I have been cutting the decal into two sides before applying it on. Is this right?

Some advise would be helpful.

Hi Guys,

I am installing some metal thrusters on my kit. Normally do you all spray the metal parts as I saw some of the thruster at the end has some gold or red shading.

Anyone who has done it please do comment

Thanks

Some metal thrusters comes with colors, mostly is red color.

If yours do not, or u intend to have other color, eg blue, yes, u gotta paint it, with clear paint.

if u find the paint having problem sticking onto the metal, prime the thruster with metal primer. Metal primer is a transparent liquid so it wont disturb the metal shine of the metal thruster.

Thanks Rayloke,

I am actually not using the ready made thrusters which are already coloured. As it is already metal thought of spraying just the end of it with the clear yellow or blue to have the burnt effect, but as I am only spraying the end not sure if it will turn out with a line where it is not sprayed....guess will have to try it out....

As always thanks for the assist Rayloke.

Hi guys

Would like to ask a question on painting. I am using an airbrush on my kits. For metalic colors I am spraying Mr Color silver 1 layer and then followed by clear blue layers to create the metallic color or candy effect. I am not clear coating it.

However i find that the clear colour is flaking off especially at the corners. Is there a step I am missing out?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks
