i apply gundam marker on my model, what is the best way to clean away ink that is not in the groove?

i've tried to use tissue, but it is hard to rub, even wet cloth doesn't make it much easier

haha.....apply the yoko yoko to yourself after long hours of building a MG

i wonder if super concentrated sour lime, lemon and orange will work since they are quite effective in cleaning away grease and oil stain

but my kit is painted, not the one i paint myself, but the one that came with the colour, consider painted?

ok, will try

very messy finish and a lot of tragedy happen which include breaking one of the part while dissemble it

dont play play with brake fluid, you should be happy that your plastic pieces still there after leave it overnight

what model is that? it feel so weird

i guess the basic of gunpla beside removing nub and building it, then it should be panel lining, panel lining make it look nicer

where is sunway giza? i only heard of sunway pyramid, or they are the same place?

i see...quite far from my house

nope, just wanna know that place

the next item i will be looking for is the top coat, but that's after i've done my dry transfer on my kit

Added on May 24, 2011, 11:12 amwanna ask, how you all apply top coat? it dont need airbrush right?

did you all take out the part 1 by 1 and spray or never take out the part then spray?

got how many type of top coat? i've only heard of semi-gloss, gloss, which one is better?

1 can of this top coat can last for how many 1.100 MG kit?


how much is 1 can cost anyway...

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

oh yeah, btw, how you all keep your modeling tools? it seems like my room is too humid to put untreated metal

there is no clear part in both my MG, except the eye at the head, which is hard to do masking for small part like that

those topcoat can be rub off using leveling thinner right?

i see some gunpla tutorial, they say i should spray a layer of glossy top coat to give the kit a smooth surface then only apply water decal, is it necessary?

maybe your house not so humid, or maybe because i close my windows, door and curtain all the time, room temperature kinda low even though outside hot, maybe that's the cause?

feel like buying those silica gel and put in my drawer

so i think i should do this now, panel line > dry decal > gloss coat > water decal > gloss coat?

i'm not sure if my panel marker is spoiled or what, my color of my grey marker sometime very wash out, is it water more than the gray colour, while black is different, and after 1 or 2 hours later, i accidentally touch the marker while sticking dry decal the marker came off

it wont explode?

what is clear sticker?

ic....

enamel washing? never heard of it

the dry decals i mean is dry transfer, the one that come in small piece of transparent plastic

will try to go gamers arena tomorrow to see if they got water decal

just wondering, can i use those topcoat selling at at hardware shop like ACE hardware on gundam kit?

remove nub, smoothen nub marks, use marker to paint over nub mark, after that draw panel line using panel marker, after the marker dry, spray a layer of top coat and let it try again

i dont think you need primer if you only do top coat

complete assemble then take out the leg, hand, chest, head, backpack, weapon, attachment, and torso then start spray part by part

i dont think using gundam marker for the whole kit is a great idea, airbrush is good, only if you own it and know how to use it

use the gundam marker to pain inner frame is good, havent try on the armor part

so you just use normal topcoat that you get from hardware shop?

MrHobby spray can is too expensive for newbie like me, RM30+ per can

will try to get a normal gloss spray to try, i bet the result is the same with MrHobby

i just want a smooth finish, rough texture finish is not my cup of tea

will try to get one can to spray on my runner to try before going for the kit XD
