Hello guys, if I may, I would like to ask regarding chrome powder. Where can I obtained it in vicinity of KL? Is it sold in BTS area? I read some article regarding it, they use black gloss before using the powder. Can other colours be used as well i.e. white gloss?
Thank you in advance |

QUOTE(amduser @ May 25 2011, 01:25 AM) so is best done in hot weather? my house humidity is quite extreme i guess, the clipper and cutting knife that i put in the drawer got rusty after 1 week Coating should be done in dry warm temperature, at least that's what I did. Better if do it outside. Do wear mask at least to make sure you don't inhale the gas.oh yeah, btw, how you all keep your modeling tools? it seems like my room is too humid to put untreated metal As for me, I never encountered humidity problem. All of my stuffs are stasted inside my cupboard. |

QUOTE(rayloke @ Jun 23 2011, 12:04 PM) Good that u salvage your kit. Noted. But it will take quite a while before I can finish it. Thanks man For making it look nice, i think the first think is to sand down the nip marks, cover seamlines etc, do all the fundamental groundwork nicely. Without doing so, any kind of so-called "modification" will look just ameturish n unfinished. Hope to see the finish kit soon! Gambate |

I did bought the Krylon camo spray from ACE Hardware. Never tried it yet. Bought it because the green colour is nice.
The camo spray comes in many camo colours Parody eg dark green, khaki etc, not myriads of colours in one can |

QUOTE(golbeza @ Aug 2 2011, 02:04 AM) guys, is this how i suppose to apply my water-slide decals? Well, if I'm not mistaken, should be gloss topcoat, decal then apply another topcoat. The gloss top coat is to provide a smooth surface to make it easier to position the water-slide decals, reduce silvering etc. Correct me if I am wrong flat topcoat > decal > flat topcoat again am i doing it rite? any tips if i'm wrong with it? |

Guys, a question:
is it necessary to glosscoat before decaling, then using mr mark softer, of it's already sufficient to use mr mark softer? Just want to know your opinion regarding this. I'm using spray can, to lazy to handpaint, to poor to afford a airbrush. BTW I'm kitbashing this model » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « It's just for experimentation on gunpla skills, because I know I lack of it. So I think this kitbash model is okay before I'm doing more serious colouring to my other precious model kits. Just want to see my own result, so that I can improve in what department I'm lacking. |

QUOTE(shauno @ Aug 5 2011, 10:57 AM) this Okay, thank you shauno for the explanation. Might visit ICW soon because now me and my friend is enjoying finding hobby shops that are near. Regarding the airbrush, I will think about it, because still not yet confident with own personal skill btw, AB is not as expensive as many think. if you live in around pj/kl area, you can just go to icw and they have compressors available there, so all you need is just get a hand piece, which costs less than 100 bux for a basic one. costs less than one MG ma.. then, get the basic paint colors, white, black, red, yellow, blue as basic colors and you're done! other colors, you can mix loh.. in the long term, its a lot cheaper than the hobby spraypaints, and not to mention alot more consistent too!

QUOTE(rayloke @ Aug 5 2011, 01:03 PM) I think fi want to improve the appearance, the first u need to tackle now is those nip marks n seamlines. Without getting rid of these stuff, no matter how much u modify your kit, it will look half cook/ unfinished. I also tried in eliminating seamlines and nub marks. Personally I'm satisfied, but truthfully, I think I do need to improve more on that department. Thank you rayloke for your opinion regarding this This post has been edited by Tiger I: Aug 5 2011, 01:13 PM |

Well, I tried to remove the seam lines, but it seems that I still suck in that department. Poor man's mod BTW, so I use whatever I have to do this kit
![]() Still in progress. Please avert your attention from seamlines Other than that obvious flaws, what other department that I need to improve on? |
