yea.. that is just a very bad Syndrome indeed... my wife started to make sound already... all buying no result... so i'll need to complete a couple of model to prove to her that i'll build what i've purchased.. ... i'll need more time...




thanks for the pic kelvw.. very nice indeed...
as for the workshop.... the kids need to bring their own kits? or the kits are provided for them?

on the other note... i notice that the ScaleModelsMalaysia is about to organise a Swap & Trade Meet Details Here

so anyone going?
if i'm going.. sore i'll buy more models that i can chew on..


thanks...

no problem..
the sponsored kits are actually only for kids? can an adult like us have that kits as well if we join the Beginners workshop?

.. i wish i can come down to KL... got a lot of "kenduri" during that time...
i really need to allocate sometime next year to join such an event in KL...until then.. thanks to you for providing us with the pics..

yup... with over 200 model-kits.. there surely something that you dont need in that stash of yours..


kuman

the thought of organizing a bulk did cross my mind (of someone else's mind )
but the thought of tax etc is very unpromising.... or maybe someone can really clear this matter (like have an inside person in kastam etc) then yeah.. maybe someone can bulk it....

maybe Jackygwh would like to organize it..
i'm still waiting for my first order from HLJ... maybe after i receive it, then maybe can consider to bulk..

as for paints...

i bought Tamiya arcyclic like you say.... but i use it for hand painting... and use either the Tamiya spray cans or a normal industrial cans also for painting....

it depends.. if you're painting airliner... hmmm 20 colors / plane is possible...
if just a normal plane .. i think you would need to have a lot of color...

for mw i only have 4 kind of Tamiya PSray cans.. all was a bout the most general color used by most air force.. that grey thinggy..


kuman

if you're refering to Macross Veritech.. then the answer should be "YES"
in fact i'm waiting for mine in the mail... VF-0D (Macross Zero)and YF-19 Macross Plus

where are they...

kuman

nothing much to show for picture... but refer below.. i attached some picture of my SU-35 & SU 27 UB Flanker, still no decal.. thinking of stripping the paint of the SU35....

so . do they have an estimated price yet for the model... its going to cost an arm and a leg to get those... and in such a big scale as well..

the price estimation is about right... but for the putty.. what brand is that?? i thought.. Tamiya one is around RM 20++... IIRC last time i bought...
as for the cement.. some kits includes a tube of the cement.. but to make assembling easier.. try to get that cement dispenser.. with needele point.. easier to use..

for the models for beginnner.. i would suggest to go and get the elcheapo-china-brand model such as from Kitech/Zhengdefu... those are really cheap and suitable for beginners to practice.... hey i still use them... cheap and easy to find....


but the reliability is quite questionable.. but for initial test run can laaa..

SU-27UB Flanker

hi there ....

maybe you can show us your models then...

poor lil Corsair... at least its contributing or a a greater good...

i still use the cheapo models as my primary kits..... the models shown above are from Kitech/Zhengdefu...

pretty neat although the lack of skill from my side really shows in that built..

kuman

not dead...laa..

as for me .. now i'm trying to figure out which model should i build next... still undecided since my latest project YF-22 aircraft.. is almost finish assembling...
now waiting for some freetime to paint it.... and also need to get somemore paint for that matter...

what i have in que and most probably will build enxt are.. Su-27 Flanker B (1/48), or MIG-29 Fulcrum (1/32) or Macross Zero VF0S (1/72).

still undecided.. but i most probably start with the SU-27..

Dragon Wings
as for these.. maybe you can try our neighbour- Singapore- they have a distributor there... hmm let me see if i can find the link..

Time Machine Studio - Dragon Distro in S'pore

maybe the shipping would be a lil bit cheaper..


yup.. always love those baby... i'm still looking if anyone would release a model kit for Macross Zero Vf0S in Battloid and Gerwalk mode... then my collection would be complete...

as for LIMA.. hopefully next time they can bring in all those high profile acrobatics team to compete with our Tedung Selar MIG 29 team..

kuman

ohh my bad...

hehe i thought you're looking for fighter craft..

kuman

laa.... lost interest on the model already is it??

thanks for the direction of going there.. although i havent been there myself..
i heard a lot about that shop.. maybe will stop by there IF i go to KL again..

kuman

BTW: below is my latest project.. just finish painting yesterday.. but still no decals yet.. maybe a bit later..

the YF-22 Raptor the shot a lil bit dark and shaky

i bought it at a departmental store near my place here...

the scale is 1/72 KITECH brand.. not very accurate but will do for the purpose of learning...

i'm learning to properly use putty and sanding with this kit... it seems to be ok...

yup.. some member also have a Raptor build before.. but his is more superior then mine because of the skill and techniques he uses..

the pic size is small because i dont want our dial-up user to suffer due to the time it would take to load the picture.. so i resize it a lil bit..

now i'm working on a 1/48 Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker "B".. dunno when can finish..

kuman

thanks for the heads-up...

when you said clear layer.. will using FUTURE consider as clear layer?
i'm thinking of using FUTURE as the last coating after using decals..

this is from my latest build...

actually last nite i apply some putty... after sanding.. this is what i have so far...

will that consider as thick putty?

a lil bit of putty left.. need more sanding..


the whole view.

so you bought them at HHQ?
good luck with those kits.. and remember to post here your progress..

i'm in the middle of the SU 27 and MIG 29 build... so will be busy for a while..


kuman

hmmm,,... i dunno if you already heard of a product called FUTURE..

they are sold in Ace Hardware for RM 40.50.

they are great for final coating... give it a try...

i used it with brush... .

as for the uneven paint.. i have no idea.. if you use an airbrush... since i myself have no experience with airbrush...

post the pic...
====

BTW.. what kind of airbrush & compressor u use? i'm thinking of getting 1 set.. any idea i can get it at a reasonable price...


kuman

no need airbrush..

the FUTURE solution i mentioned above can be applied using a brush straight OUT-OF-THE-BOTTLE...

i also surveying for an airbrush set.. still not getting around getting any...
still using brush + Tamiya Arcyclic & Spra cans....

so.. for brushing what brush and what paint do u use?

i heard a lot about Sable Brush.. but very expensive..

kuman

good for you Jackygwh..
hope to see it soon..

====================

db07mufan
so.. Model Master is enamel... hope that the MH still hav discount...

kuman

its not very detail, i guess that's what infected_sys is saying...

yup... the panel line is not that clear... maybe another "macro" shot of the wings/fuselage would clear this up..

i guess its a die-cast...

if its a plastics model then its a different story already..

what scale is it? 1/72?

thanks..

kuman

its not dead... just on a hiatus period..

kuman

is that a Eurofighter Typhoon?

i have the model kit for that one at 1/48 scale.... very details... but ofcourse more work need to be invested in order to get it up to standard.. )

kuman
