QUOTE(Vorador @ Nov 22 2013, 12:44 AM) I wanna use gundam spray can & tamiya spray can. if you want to achieve the same effect as the one pic you've shown, you must mix the color. Layering a dark based and second coat of red will be difficult to achieve since you're using a spray can. Difficult to control the paint flow. If you have an airbrush, this would be a breeze..  |

QUOTE(shrike @ Jan 2 2014, 09:06 PM) Hi guys, need some pointers on epoxy putty. Recently I bought Tamiya Epoxy Smooth Surface (short strips for around RM20) which fulfilled my requirements since it has a long working time. However, I'm still searching for less costly alternatives at the hardware stores but the longest working time that I found was at most an hour and apparently Kneadatite (aka Green Stuff back when it was repackaged and sold by Games Workshop) and Aves isn't sold in Malaysian stores. aves apoxie sculpt is sold in malaysia. I bought mine before at crafthaven thru online and was shipped to penang.The closest thing I found is Gale Force Grey Stuff (RM70) at Comics Mart in Mid Valley Megamall but I would like to find other brands of epoxy putty that is good for sculpting work and with a long working time which may exist out there. |

QUOTE(TongCN @ Mar 25 2014, 04:17 PM) Guys, first time doing spraying and I use Samurai Brand spray can which I search in forum and ppl also recommend using this brand. you're spraying too close to the object you're painting. Adjust the distance a little bit.I use the White color and spray on the runner first and the result is so sticky and thick. I then left it dry for 3 days and when i came back, i saw the some part of the surface is rough and not smooth. Am I doing something wrong? The day when I did is sunny bright day with not much wind. move your spray can from side to side in a sweeping motion, one quick burst not continuous till you cover one layer. Doesn't matter if you don't cover the area with paint on the first pass, do it on the second pass doing the sweeping motion. Shake the can from time to time. That should do the trick. |

QUOTE(dopeycheese @ May 7 2014, 12:32 AM) noob question here, can i use normal thinner as opposed to hobby thinner when mixing with paint? are they the same? for acrylics, you can use window cleaner thinned with water (windex), isopropyl alcohol, IPA thinned with water (50-50)used industrial thinners for cleaning your AB and other stuff. |

QUOTE(pddhei @ Jul 2 2014, 04:12 PM) thanks! I've been looking for hardwares, it's just I don't have a car so I mainly rely on trains or buses. hehe.. hopefully I can find one soon achor brand is also an alternative.  I will invest for an airbrush again (I already have one in Phil) but want to practice in spray cans again first |

QUOTE(Haneda @ Jul 14 2014, 08:14 AM) My airbrush started spitting water every few seconds when I spray. Tried googling and the solution is to drain the airbrush compressor tank. The problem is I can't find the drain valve on my compressor. Any idea? My model is as per attached image. I have the same problems as you before, I have air compressor w/o tank.I have water filter at the tank plus I added a mini water filter at the airbrush. But I still have water condensation problem, sputtering water after prolonged used of compressor.My solution, I built a DIY air tank. Now I dont have any condensation issue. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3212309&hl= |
