Yeah, I frequent that shop. Most of the overpriced plastic crap I have are bought from them. But whatever, given how screwed up Malaysia is with imported crap (I heard there's a compulsory 15% tax on everything imported, particulary hobbyist items), it's fine as long as you like them, I suppose... *has spent RM240+ for both 1/144 Wild Falken and Wild Wurger by Kotobukiya*
I think you're supposed to turn the white felt tip facing backwards, then push it gently on a piece of paper to draw ink, before turning it back again to draw... Then again the ink drying too fast may have been the problem of the ink content itself, so bleh. Nylon brushes are nice, I use them. I like how they would revert back to their original pointed tip whenever I use them.
I didn't mix with any thinner. And no, my brush didn't get sticky or hard when it dried up. I just washed the tip with running water after use.
I use the bottled acrylics. Canned ones are too expensive and from what I've heard, have little paint in it.
blardy taxes. its just toys dammit, give us a break! heh, since primary skl i liked certain toys like Beast Wars figurines, but i never got any. parents say that its too expensive for *cough* plastic crap. so all the kits im buying is from my own $$, haha if they found out im buying these nonsense they'll most likely screw me. but im wondering why are kits so damn expensive. after all they're still molded plastic right?
nay, the felt tip isnt supposed to be turned backwards! i saw the guy at xl-shop, he just pressed it down on a piece of paper and the ink naturally flowed to the tip.
tell me abt it. nylon brushes were my favourite in art class. it pwns all the other kids' brushes! theres many varieties of nylon brushes yknow, and some are really neat. but that was a long time ago. i really dont know where to buy em now
hey do u mix ur tamiya bottled acrylics paint with thinner? or is enamel the one that needs thinner? geez, slightly confused abt the types of paint.
