thanks for advice coz i don want a too shiny look for my gundam.. actually the
kshatriya..

I like flat coat metallic colour.

If I want to paint my already assembled Gundam, should I take everything apart, or just take minor part out, put masking tape on area I don't want to paint, and spray it?

Don't really understand what you trying to ask. But first what grade is it? Which part you want to paint?

I have an old gundam which is HG 1/100 scale. Want to paint everything. So, do I need to disassamble everything before paint it?

So, which is which? you wanna paint everything, or you wanna paint some of them?
anyway, my suggestion; remove everything to paint them individually. HG 1/100 shouldn't have too many parts so shouldn't be a problem right? cheers....

Just one little advice, being lazy couldn't be successful, so just follow what onnylam said. Cheers...

I also confused...
But well you already answered his question.

LOL, sorry2. What I mean some is that rubber thinggy that connect the joint. (Don't know what do we call it, but that runners that marked as PCC)

But since you guys already said that, then I will take apart everything. Thank you.

new type of Gundam Marker coming soon
it's like Panel Line Accent in marker form
but if I didn't read wrongly, it can corrode acrylic(water based) paint

that part was call as polycaps
we are not paint that one actually

actually, i also have one HG 1/100 that I wanna recon myself.
Too sayang to just let it sleep in box, because it is after all, my first Gundam, the Wing Zero Custom

Now I know.

I know no one ever paint that. That is why I ask do I need to disassamble everything or just put masking tape on that polycaps.

Finish painted all white part. It feels brand new.

show us your recon result after it's done.
mine, still queuing, a few projects in coming, and also, just encountered this one; a 'broken' air compressor
now have to korek my dompet even deeper for a new compressor....

Guys need help. My gundam marker eraser is nearly finish and i need alternatives for it. Tried cleaning a gundam marker smudge with a zippo lighter fluid but it seems it doesnt work.

I tot gundam marker can be erased with any eraser?

Lol seriously?? Need to try later.

Get a bottle of Mr. Paint Remover, quite cheap and long longer.

No it can't... But if the one for panel lining then can rub with eraser.

Mr paint remover? Alrite thnx will look for it.

Actually to remove smudge from panel lining. Will try eraser. The remover i will mainly use it at hard to reach with eraser. Thanx again ya.

Panel line pen can be remove by eraser, if other Gundam marker or tamiya marker then you will need Mr. Paint Remover to remove. And remember, don't ever ever use Gundam Eraser or Paint Remover on plating kit, like titanium finish, extra finish, etc. it will remove the plating as well. I do have the experience that I accidentally use it on Akatuski and I have to repaint it.
