Noticed the painting tips by mycomnet, and thought to share the results of one of my experiments too.

Now, most of us should know what a pain it can be to get a nice white surface right? especially if the underlying surface isnt totally white. I guess spraying can do the trick, but I'm just one of those stubborn hand brush freaks lar

Ok, the mix is:
- 1 part Citadel White
- 1 part Tamiya White
- one tiny drop of Citadel Dwarf Flesh or Bronze Flesh
- one tiny drop by Citadel Black
- dilute with some water before painting

Basically, what I'm doing is taking heavy paint (Citadel - mainly water based) and mixing it with light paint (Tamiya - mainly thinner based)

The tiny drop of dward flesh or bronze flesh and the black should darken the white mix by only a very very slight shade. The purpose of it is to increase the pigment strength of the mix, not to change the color.

Apply in very thin coats. U might find some brush marks after application, but if the mix ratio is right, the brush marks will smooth itself over before the paint dries on the plastic. Give about 2 or 3 coats, depending on the color of the actual plastic. For the GP-02's original cream colored plastic, it took 3 thin coats, and I get a nice smooth matt white finish after.

Does anyone has good pictures of a 1/100 Tall Geese 1?? I've found couple of TG3s, but personally I still think the TG1 is the best looking in GW. Old school and retro it may be, but beautiful...

fyire:
Another way to cover the plastic color is by using the primer
it's a kind of liquid putty which can help to cover the original plastic color too

this one i dont get one ...

I'm wondering if gundam diecasts sets are worth collecting?

Examples

^ erm... IMO no. For that price, you could get something better... a HG 1/144 is much lower in price, and brings more fun in assembling.

OMG... less than 20 bucks for a HGUC Rick Dias and Hizack? shit... please Jaya Jusco JB... please have a members day like this.

But i think no matter sini discount sana discount, those hobby shops in kl, esp in BTS is cheaper a lot if compared with big shopping malls. And also not to forget sunnyboy and sorcecold/young_soul bulk, which is cheaper also. Promote promote.

Look at the feet!!!!! Got hydraulic pump as well!!!

i want agama....

new item is 30% and those old old 1 is 70%, agama is 70%

sigh...everyone still quoting pictures
nice work jdotl, did you color the hydraulic pumps on your own? Or were they pre-colored?

I think he colored it himself. The original kit does not come pre-colored like that (according to the pictures on Dalong.net.

Anyways...awesome work jdotl! d(o_o)b

Thanks

Lost track oledi, i think around 24~26 hrs, start immediately when i received the kits from bro GodEvil. Inner frame is a bit troublesome, the armour is easy.

Inner frame detail is the best for PG, I almost don't want to finish the armour, cause it will cover all the inner frame beauty.

Yup, paint the hydraulic pumps gold, using gundam marker... btw off topic a bit, how to do multiple quote ah? I use cut and paste, very troublesome.
