welcome.

but not encourage u to apply in tamiya 4wd, bcos the paint easi to scar.

surface/based coat> Black /gloss black > Silver (lacque based) > clear or florescent color toner. (if u apply a layer of clear Gloss finish for protection, the color becom dark abit).

Trying out the spray can but i find the problem below

Side way look clean and silver


But the font part is like old silver and dots


Is it because i spray too much on the front part?

1) u no shake well,
2) i believe your spray can remain 20% paint.
chrome silver is like that when the can start to run out of thinner (inside).

Question: Where can I find some small fishing weights in the KL area? I've got a model kit (1:72 Revell P-38 L/M) with some really big balance problems, and the ball bearings I have won't fit inside, and I have some really large doubts about whether the stainless steel nuts I have will do the trick.

I did shake it well but will try again to see if this is the issue. The spray can is new, so don't think is the issue.
Did ask around and some say i need to wash the runner to have better surface, spray primer to smooth en the surface and lastly someone mention that i may spray too near.
Will test around again.

i actually believe that you're getting that problem because the particles are too big.. were you using industrial spray or hobby spray?

I'm using the anchor spray paint.

how much does a 1/60 figure fully assembled, painted/air brush cost now?

Hi, beginner here.. if airbrushing with tamiya acrylics and acrylic thinner, do you need to use a mask for health reasons? what type of mask is suitable?

thanks

anchor has this prob faced by me too.. when just sprayed, it is smooth n shinny.. when it dries, it becomes what u showed in 2nd picture..

What is the best tools to apply the plastic tank model?

I would say good ventilation is more important. But if you're asking, get the sort that can keep vapors out, if you can find them...

You mean to assemble it ?

If that the case it would be a good plastic nippers and plastic cement

certain hobby shop has offer or sell off their old 1/60 gundam Display figure, since 1/60 is PG, so the price is expensive that can up too thousand above.

No , spray and decal.

For that, The best would be using airbrush but you could use Tamiya spray cans if you want to try painting first but not economical in the long run and harder to control especially for camo patterns. For decals either Mr Hobby Mark Setter or Softer would do but still need to practice to make it work.

Anyone know can this b use to penel line models?

Hi guys, anyone have any recommendations? I want to buy a DIY toy car set (eg. like Tamiya) to assemble as a side project. I don't need it to be an RC car, a model car would be just fine. Looking for a display toy car that I can assemble, that's all. Thanks!

EDIT: probably not too expensive, if possible?

I think any car you like would do but if you want to make it look great you can refer to these videos:

I see, thanks for the recommendation. Any brands I could get for say, <RM50? I'm not sure to get it from eBay or from a local store instead. Would love it if anyone could direct me on this.
