Hi guys, I'm quite new to gundam modeling and recently the painted and modded versions of a few kits have realy caught my eye!!! One example is this particular 1/100 MG Sinanju!

I was wondering if someone could explain how this type of paint job could be achieved? Also if it is possible without a airbrush thumbup.gif if not just a simple tutorial would be awesome!

Just bought a brand new Sinanju at Ikano during the fair hope you guys can show me the way notworthy.gif

You can refer to this:

But you need spray cans tho since try to achieve a smooth finish with handpaint would be hard as hell.

Thanks for the info! I was also wondering for spray can paint, I heard that tamiya paint is a good choice but is that what I should go for? Also is there a good place in klang valley area to buy the said painting mats?

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

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.

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...
