spray cans = woolaaalaaaa nicely coloured spray box.

veli nice. smooth too in the close up shots

Anyone here used My Hobby or Gaia thinner before?
They are much cheaper than Mr Hobby thinner so am thinking of switching over if they work the same.

Oh goodie. My wallet much appreciates this.

i sometimes skip the preassemble part if i'm not doing MGs, as some parts are a pain to unassemble
some recommend trimming the pins, but me being me I JUST WANNA PAINT AS SOON AS POSSIBLEEEEE!!!!

i prefer to AB everything except perhaps for those tiny tiny spots like the inside of thruster vents.

Example:


Although this particular one I actually AB-ed. Like the texture of AB-ed kits, but the pain of masking and sheer amount of wasted paint (had to mask the sides and spray INSIDE and THROUGH the vent opening) was not worth the trouble imho.

thinner mahal. electricity nope.

Industrial thinner... oh I so wish we can use that to paint and not only clean. One big tong cost at most MYR20

PM Rayloke.

also got super white, super black for mr hobby. and off white and character white zzz...

honestly, i think plain old No.1 White and No.2 Black would do 99% of the time.

and for white and other bright colours, a blast of Mr Base White always helps.

well, i have been looking for Liverpool FC decals for some time now, and tattoo ones are often too big.

mebbe i need to ask someone to print them. sigh.

iirc gundam markers are transparent if you paint a thin layer.
otherwise you can always get a bottle of Mr Color clear colours and handpaint those parts.

oh! there are ink pens called sharpies??? really??? wow.

nak tumpang ask ask... what are metal transfer decals and how to use them?

oooo nice

aah, but mr white base only got 1000 i think in spray can form, so i prefer mr surfacer 1000 instead of 1200.

hmm... i prefer the convenience of using spray cans for topcoating... and most certainly for base coating! I find it super mafan to get the right consistency for AB-ing primers, and cleaning the AB after priming is a pain!

spray cans.

Also got a question to ask the regulars here...

I've got a 7-11 GFT kit that I picked up earlier, am thinking of paintng it, but the decals are stickers. Is it possible to scan the whole sheet and print them out again as waterslides? If so, mana boleh buat?
Thanks.
