Ah yes that shop actually have good price just that don't expect to compete with KL ones la. Even i say that, i mostly go there to buy some hobby supplies.

Now the Gundam.info Mid Year Lucky Draw contest is underway!

Hi Everyone,

Just got this package today after waiting for so long. Want to airbrush it at first but after looking at the content, snap fit it will do.

wrong thread bro..... this aint Bandai ori brand.

this should go to the "other" thread larr.....

haha i think he too excited until post at wrong thread.

1/100!!!

Soli.

Is there a place I can go to learn to paint? I keep Googling stuff up, but never really got the idea of how to start painting.

Of course start with the usual, sanding, cement, putty, then primer.

But then I have no idea whether I should be using spray cans or make my own combination for an air brush.

gundam info's youtube channel?
they just finished upload video about paint hours ago

Nice nice. SUBSCRIBED!!!
Very short videos though. Still, pretty informative.

What do you guys recommend I start with? HG? China brand? SD?

if you want something easy to build, I would recommend HGUC. MG is just a bit complicated since there are more parts and inner frame. RG is somewhat more complex since it is minute. SD very easy actually

Alright. Time to get me some new kits. I'm thinking of trying out on my HG Spallow. It's so sexy, but I'm thinking of trying out painting on it and then getting the MG for display

i'd say HG.. SD won't appeal to everyone, plus it's too simple to paint up, since it has lesser details.. i'll say go for the newer HGs.. like the HGUC from unicorn series.. those have a lot of detail for you to try your hand at painting

Ahh the Unicorn series looks pretty good. Is it possible to color over the clear parts? From clear pink > clear red/green. Nooblet questions I know XD

Btw what grade do you use for sanding? I'm currently using 2000grit sand papers, but that clogs up pretty fast. Should I get some proper sand files?

Generally no. Clear paint as its name imply is clear, the underlying base color will be visible (technically even solid paint is somewhat see through especially for lighter colors like white). However if the color tone is not that far off ie pink to red then yes to a certain degree, if the tone is vastly different then nope. Regardless we usually dun altered clear color parts as the underlying base color will be visible and screw up the finishing, only clear non color parts like the eyes and weapon scope will we tend to paint over. Test it on the runner first to c if the results is to ur satisfaction.

use lower grit sand paper, 2000 is too high to start off with. start with 600 and progressively increase the grit as u sand.

also this is the proper thread to ask such question.
