Highly recommended shop. Been there twice for airbrush service. Clean, comfortable, friendly environment. Lots of paints there. Highly recommended by me! :thumb: :thumb:

Anyway, any of u guys have any ideas where can I find decals/ stickers of Sakura flower? Not to big, just for my SD.

Hi all, recently I felt in love with 1/12 motorcycle kit. But it is very rare to be found in JB area. Did anyone know where I can buy it in KL/JB area? Would be better if they got online store. Thanks!

try here

their shop at tmn bukit mewah..
good a lot of paint oso..

hi maybe u can go though myotaku.com.my at fb coz hv some 1/12 bike too

Very quite here lately.

So guys, I wanted to paint my Sinanju SD. First layer is black, then silver, then clear red for red part and clear black for black part. The thing is, and always a problem, is the gold emblem. I'm too lazy to mask it(mind u, its a tidious job. Tiny SD man), so I think I wanna just handpaint it using Gundam Gold marker. Anyway if I screw up the gold marker, and I wanna repair it using zippo liquid or thinner, will it effect the neighbouring red/black part? Or any other suggestion?

just do the reverse washing
go google about it

for me, reverse washing or paint the gold directly using a tiny brush is about the same, need patient and steady hand

Hi All Sifu,

Need help on below project im working on pertaining hand painting

Model 1: RG Zaku 2

Q1: Is the color correct? or nearest to the pic?
Mr Hobby Aqueous
H324 Light Gray (Flat)
H306 Gray
H24 (Orange Yellow)

Q2. For hand paint, im thinking to use acrylic type. Which i believe MR Hobby Aqueous is the nearest and easier to paint.
Correct me if im wrong. As enamel will need few days to dry.

Q3. Does the normal hand brush from bookstore works well?


Below are the site im looking to buy from
http://www.jshobby.cc/category.php?id=125



Model 2: MG Nu V Gundam ver. Ka with Metal Details


Q4. Does the kit looks painted? The white parts doesn't looks painted but the body with gunmetal part looks painted.
Will it looks weird if just paint the body but not the white parts?

Q5. Do you do panel lining 1st or paint?

Q6. Does gundam marker sticks well on Mr Hobby Aqueous color?

Q7. 3 Colors i found most similar to the pic. Im trying to simulate the color from the pic not as recommended by Bandai. Let me know if this is correct.
Reason im choosing some lacquer and enamel here is because these are smaller parts. which i think suitable to use them.
Tamiya X31 GOld
Gaia 020 Gunmetal
Mr Hobby UG01 MS White



Model 3: Zvezda Black Pearl 1/72


Q8. Below are the color conversion i got from model master to Tamiya (mostly). Except the Flat Gull grey and gunship grey its hard to find conversion for acrylic type (Tamiya XF or Mr Hobby Aqueous)

Model Master
1744 Gold -->Tamiya X31 GOld
1749 Black -->Tamiya XF-1 Gold
1730 FLat GUll Grey ->Mr Hobby H324 Light Gray (Flat)
1723 GUnship Grey -> Mr Hobby H306 Gray
1583 rubber -> Tamiya XF-63 German Grey

Hi

do you have an address to this shop?

Thanks

Hi guys,

Hope I can get some answers from this. Preshading VS post shading.

Which one is more effective? Should both be used?

Thanks guys,

Found out the wheel decals are really paint in the neck! I've damaged all given decals for my Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha M1

I just bought a 1/12 Kawasaki ZX-RR recently and did somebody know the easiest method to apply the wheel decals?

Hi guys, I'm quite new to gundam modeling and recently the painted and modded versions of a few kits have realy caught my eye!!! One example is this particular 1/100 MG Sinanju!


I was wondering if someone could explain how this type of paint job could be achieved? Also if it is possible without a airbrush if not just a simple tutorial would be awesome!

Just bought a brand new Sinanju at Ikano during the fair hope you guys can show me the way

You can refer to this:
http://gunplacore.blogspot.com/2013/04/tut...andy-coats.html

But you need spray cans tho since try to achieve a smooth finish with handpaint would be hard as hell.

... a nice setup ...

Thanks for the info! I was also wondering for spray can paint, I heard that tamiya paint is a good choice but is that what I should go for? Also is there a good place in klang valley area to buy the said painting mats?

To all the experienced mode masters,

One quick question which I can't seem to find the answer on google. I'm aware that for panel washing, Zippo lighter fluid can thin the Tamiya enamel paint. But my question is, will Zippo lighter fluid thin those artists' oil paint which you find at art store as well?

Thanks

Hi all, i am a newbie in modeling painting and mod.
I would like to ask that, is primer is important ? can i paint without applying primer ?

As far i remember, Zippo is not strong enough to thin down artist oil paint. Need to use low odour Turpentine to get similiar effect.

Well you can but the chance paint chipping is quite high unless you using lacquer paints which is the most resistant paint you can get.

Agreed on the paint chipping as i used to paint my models without primer and directly from the spray can. Tendency to chip is very high.
