oh right..so its like freedom and strike rogue huh. so in the astray manga, ORB wasnt ruled by Atha's? okay i really need an english subbed one:( and even trying to read the mandarin one is quite a pain since streamyx is taking 2 minutes+ to load a page. grumbles.

erm..is it English subbed or Mandarin subbed?

HEY im so happy...im gonna COD my new 1/100 Zeta A1 Plus test color later!

omg thx! 1 chapter only huh.. so now they're working on the second one right? weeEE made for bananas

OH BTW, i just acquired a 1/100 MG Zeta A1 a few minutes ago. box n contents pix shall be out in a bit.

infested's got a nice hazel.. but i loved his Wild Wurger!

whoami123,
hey still got questions from where we left off at young_soul's thread.

the pla plates, after ure done cutting them according to size n all, how do u attach them to, u know, ur kit? i mean like, isit possible to build a gatling gun from scratch with those? then how do u join the parts?

ah super glue.. super glue doesnt corrode plastic does it?

stupid me, i really imagined melting the plastic to join em up. so putty iis made of wat material?

ooo..got examples?

putty ar..isit like the wood putty filler?

AHOY there!
been MIA and guess wut, i was busy makin my 1/144 Strike Rogue and 1/100 MG Zeta Plus A1 Type.

darn, all i need now is a camera.

oh and btw, my zeta ...i lost the chin part. shucks! so right now its like he's just got a helmet.

my bad, rouge :0

ohh u know wat? i broke my V-fins too. but zeta a1 comes with two of em. i broke the bend-able one. so now im using the one piece one. as for the chin, so far still no luck. haah.

quite satisfied with my strike rouge+iwsp, haha, i used Anchor Sprays


AH, which brings me to this question:
I'm using Anchor sprays to paint my kits, but i find that they peel off easily when scratched (mainly at joint parts when one part comes in contact with the edge of another) and also when im removing the masking tape.

1.someone mentioned using primers, but im not too sure, so do u guys reckon the primer's gonna help my paint stick?

2. need some info on primers, like erm.. wat brand, where to find, how to use, how much per bottle/can?

3. lastly, does the process look like this? panel lining>prime>spray paint> topcoat (clear spray )



thanx in advance, hope someone can help answer my questions

^^ Bumpin my question

Thx StormV!

1. priming is just a one color layer isnt it? or is it like clear spray? yeah ive thought abt sanding it, sounds like a good idea. hopefully i can find a sand paper grade fine enough so that we cant see the dreadful lines.

2. right, not bad 30 for big can. ill look out for it. not sure if malacca has em tho. thx.

3. wait wait..why not panel line before spraying? erm i duno how to explain this. i sprayed and then panel lined my zeta a1, and the panel lines look crappy and too thick, and worse, unerasable. somehow it sticks to the paint really well. on the other hand, i paneled and then sprayed the strike rogue, turned out really beautiful. perhaps i shud have some pictures. argh, if u guys dont mind the so-so quality of my vga camera phone then ill put it up.

thx a lot Storm V. very enlightening indeed

o.O wow.. Winner .. but really, ive seen his works on the other forum (link anyone?) and it was superb! really deserving!

1. oh okay, wat do u mean by check error? can u tell by priming? i thought its just another layer of paint..

2. the reason why i panel line first is because after spraying, the paint will fill up those panels and leaving a very shallow surface for me to draw.. tried scribing, but the paint came off together with it. but yeah, it was good experience. but now with the introduction of primers, maybe prime first, then only panel line huh?

how to see the sand paper grade? i went to tesco the other day and i got this one which says No. 00 (150) so the grade is 150? thats like the finest i can find there d.then again, its tesco lol.


lowyat. that was last weekend.

BLASPHEMY!



i hope dalong doesnt mind the hotlinking.

i know.. but red astray 2nd L is pure bull. i dont read much of the astray manga, but my guess is there was never a red 2nd L. cmon, he looked much better with the gerbera katana anyway.

so uncreative these bandai geeks.

dalong models can pose really well. thats odd, cos when i was building my blue frame 2nd L, i was surprised cos dalong's could hold the giant sword upright. mine cant:(

same goes with the zeta a1. the dalong one can bend in any direction, mines quite stiff. except on the waist area. the lil joint for the transformation thingy keeps slipping out, thus making mr.zeta do splits when i try to widen the legs.


holy toots! that roxx!

finally, a single pic of my recently assembled 1/100 Blue Frame Astray 2nd L. at the time the photo was taken, i havent done the rest of the parts. more pics soon!



comments. thx.

almost.. just those two wings behind. stupid midterm exam, sangkut d.. hopefully i can squeeze some time to paint it before i board the bus home.

agreed! IMO its one of the best and most accurately built 1/100 from the seed series. only fingers problem la, got 2 sets, one with clenched fists, and the other one is like a pose for guns. and blueframe didnt come with guns, lol.

no worries, if i cant finish it, ill post up the pics of the earlier 1/144 Strike Rogue + IWSP instead

Strike Rogue + IWSP! sorry for the delay haha. u shud ask young_soul how long i got this from him d...

lol anyway pictars! (motorola e398 quality )













only painted the IWSP and the parts around the shoulder. and then Anchor clear spray.

comments are welcome
