Hi guys, which suppliers have shop front that sells air brush and compressors ? also able to provide some sort of training if possilbe in assembly and maintenance of the airbrush. thanks.

theres plenty available on lowyat garage sale section but for the training wise good luck on that...

but you can always put them on this forum to seek sifus advice, i personally had some exp in mini compressors...

don't think anyone offer training for using AB
the best way to learn is to watch yt and keep on practicing

Red Comet in PG might be able to give pointers. Maybe modelland workshop too.
But I think the 3 shops I normally go in PG have friendly staff that would help if you ask question about gundam/airbrush.

Red Comet - Prangin Mall
Modelland Workshop - Near 1st Avenue. (not sure what is the name of the area).
gwinghobby - Prangin Mall and Bukit Gambir.

maybe if im in penang during cny, will drop by before cny.

Hi all, finally got time and resources to pickup this hobby again after dropping out for 15 (or more) years. Lost touch with all the supplies shop. Was looking for spray can, enamel paint, acrylic paint & etc, I wonder where most of you shop for these supplies? Been to a few places (physical shop), most of them have very limited color choices or don't have stock when they show the listing as 'available' (e-shop). Very frustrating and yet time wasting. I rather spend time with building kit instead... Do shine some lights on a newbie here.

Apology if it's been asked before. I've made some searches but can't find relevant answer.

PS: I'm around Kota Damansara/PJ area.

since the new regulation regarding spray can... we hardly find any new stock around. mostly use hardware spray which is cheaper and easy to find like bosney. some went to use paint brush. stock mostly i get from time machine or some online seller here on garage sales. also some of the toolkit can be found on the garage sales.

Kota dsara? Go to plamo hobby centre la...his shop is small but lot of supplies on the things you want

those cheap spray cans aren't good if you plan to do multi coat. the new coat tend to crack up the old one even if you mist coat it 1st when you start to wet coat it it has 20% chance of cracking especially at the corners. The ones i used cost between rm8-rm16, so maybe the more expensive ones don't have this problem.

thanks @edan1979 @carpathia

Ignore the chrome silver but this stand uses cheap diy shop black spray can... without any washing or base coat...

best part is, not crack or peel off... even its a bootleg stand...

how many coats did you spray? i don't know about black but the white ones always crack.

Only 2 coats, coz the nozzle output quite a lot paint.

where to buy tamiya art knife ? never seen them before also

Tamiya knife not cheap tho... can bug 1 RG... Last time i see it at Fantasy Toy lowyat. Some seller at garage sale also bring it last time. oh... Af hobby too...

what so unique about that knife? Say compare to OLFA art knife?

I'm using tamiya modeller's knife, it's using olfa blades. Haha

well all art knife the same aside from ultrasonic knife, but for the quality choice would be olfa, and all those line scribe knife were used by the japanese hobbyist before they were rebranded by hobby makers and sell them high price

so as long as other tool serve the same purpose, it is pointless to pursue hobby maker branded tools


no differences just your own learning curve on mastering the skills with whatever tools you have

Better than my current daiso hobby knife.not very sharp
