nice...white coloured is PVC pipe oso?

I have a question. I'm looking to handpaint the internal frame and have had some really bad experience with Gaia paints and retarding thinner making the frame brittle and breaking (despite having primed it). I don't have an AB but I would like to ask if anyone knows of a good acrylic equivalent to the Gaia gunmetal colour. Absolutely love how it looks but I haven't gotten the same look from Tamiya or Humbrol gunmetal.

I'd prefer to go acrylic, as I've heard enamels lay on pretty thick. I'll save enamels for small details.

yes, 6in diameter pvc pipe with end cap.

Hi all sifus, I just moved back to Malaysia from Taiwan and while I was over there I invested in my first airbrush-compressor set. The problem is that as I understand it, the voltage here is 240V and in Taiwan it was 110V so I was wondering if there was anywhere i could get a good power converter/step-down transformer cause the ones from Ace Hardware seem to have quite bad reputation. Also, where can I find Mr. Hobby paints? I tried going to gamers arena times square but they like always no stock

Should not be a problem if you check it in with your luggage. I just brought mine over from Taiwan. Be sure to properly protect it though. I put mine in a box with newspapers&plastic corks to cushion then put the box into my suitcase full of my clothes to double protect XD

you try and check out those shops selling electronics stuff...

step down definitely available. need to check at electronics parts shop. they will have it. price wise, my last one bought likt 8 years ago was rm150. it was bulky like a brick! anyway, should be cheaper now or you could source it from websites like lelong or ebay.

Thanks man. Tried that but so far only found in Ace Hardware

oo if can do you think can you give me the unit's model number maybe easier for me to find. Also, you use the step down so far no problems? Thanks =D

its brand is minwa MW56F. up-down converter.
input 220/240v 55W output 110/120v 50/60hz.

its only good up to 55w only. anything more will probably blow the fuse at the back.

i just checked on google website. its stated as USD12.00 only T_T so its came down a lot since 8 year ago... hahaha

or by sheer luck that my colleague bought it at a higher price...

Guys need some help here.
I got myself a tamiya modeler's side cutter and suddenly i notice that the cutter is not even.
The 2 blades is different by few mm.
So when i cut it i won't be a straight line the 2 blade.
Was told that i need to knock on same place to straighten it up.
But i can't find any video about it in youtube.
Anyone can guide me on how to fix it?
Thank you

white armor origin is white color plastic rite?? topcoat is way faster.

yea white color plastic part.so you mean usually ppl just top coat it?not using any skill like shading?

depend on u.
