Question for all of you here
If there is a gunpla workshop organized by professional - will you attend and how much be willing to pay vs what do you expect to be provided ?

I was wonder the industry thinner sales on hardware or car spray paint and hobby thinner are the same?

Not same. hardware shop thinner mixture too strong/not fine enough, some hobby paint ok but i dont recommend. Use the hardware shop thinner to clean your airbrush ok, but dont mix with your paint

You could do what Carpathia said and test out what airbrushing is like and I think most stores will be happy to guide you in person... I don't necessarily mean that exact model la ... there are cheaper models out there... https://shopee.com.my/(Ready-Stock)-Airtank...3584.5431091072

Yup, you can learn from youtube and website but you will face lot of trial and errors. Go to a proper hobby store and get them to teach you on the spot! you will save so much time and money wei

Demm Arttystation is so expensive.. alternatively can go for Thailand brand Ten In One hobby'tool or Chick Master even tho the selection is limited sweat.gif

Agree, Arttystation is premium but for the price you are getting great value. They use Double coated and high density MDF board. Every Arttystation i have seen is super heavy and frankly, will last you a lifetime.

has anyone had experience using that Samurai brand primer for gunpla priming? Or any other hardware store primer? I've got some vallejo paints and my previous attempt to hand paint primer was quite shit. So I'm looking for an alternative.

in sarawak. Can't find a black primer spray. All I can find is a Mr Hobby Aqueous Primer grey at RM 50, which is a bit much...

Painting my MG Jesta.

Can't fit an airbrush into my room to use and I can't justify the cost of a portable airbrush since I'm not sure how much gunpla I'm gonna get to actually do.

not recommended samurai for primer... finishing not smooth, you will see particles

anyways, order online la

Cannot. cant ship from West Malaysia to East malaysia.
In East malaysia only got Mr Hobby surfacer or aqueous surfacer, but both grey

Got told the Finishing Surfacer doesn't work well with the Vallejo brand paints.

This book not bad, 131 pages, lots of advance techniques for so many different kits. Side note - anyone built the Kotobukiya METAL GEAR SOLID kits ? is it worth it ?

For those of you getting into painting your kits but not ready to try airbrushing, you can try the Hobby Mio colour markers. very easy to use and cheap.
