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. notworthy.gif

Hi all, i am very new in lowyat forums, but i have been assembling gundam models for a long time now but i only been doing straight assembly. I am looking into learning airbrushing my models and have bought a very cheap for beginner airbrush as my budget is very very little.

My basic noob question is (hope you guys can help me understand), i am going to prime my models using Vallejo Primer. When continuing from there to apply the paint color i wanted, must it be from the same base too? example acrylic primer with acrylic paint or it can be from different base?

sorry if how i describe my question is a bit hard to understand, i don't really know how to describe it.

It's not a must, but you need to check if your base are 'durable' or 'compatible' with your next layer. Some paint type will 'eat' into another type of paint. Sorry not sure the right terms, hope you get what I meant. Sometime a clear coat in between would be a better solution if you don't want to gamble. There are websites explaining the precautions on using mixture of base/ paint/ top coat type.
