What paint chipping method you guys using? Currently I looking at hairspray method but saw some comments it only worked for acrylic paint and I'm mainly use lacquer paint will it work too?

dry brush for brushing method.
more faster and better.

Thanks! dry brushing mean use brush dip a little paint and lightly apply chipping?

yup.

Sponge technique easier to randomize the chips. Gotta find the right type of sponge though. I ended up using fish tank pre-filter sponge most of the time.

Thanks! I'm still surveying the options available and sponge/brush method seems most cost effective to me given I currently only have enamel and lacquer paints, but hairspray seems more realistic on chipping to me on chipping out a outer layer of paint. Maybe it aren't different much from our eyes I guess?

Finished 2 more in the last couple months

Hi all. Sorry to necro old thread but recently been thinking about going back to military scale models as I started with those way back when I was a kid and could easily get them at departmental shops and other specialised shops such as Tamiya.

Stopped building as got busy with school and started gunpla in college until working life which I stopped building but has a lot of backlogs.

Recently got the itch to get back to military line of scale modelling but most shops only sells gunpla. Does anyone know or can recommend any shop in KL which has these in stock?

Thank you in advance

Same with me. Went back to military models or more specifically tanks after 30 years.

I'm not in MY anymore but I guess situation is same everywhere. Everything is online these days.

U can use scalemate.com to research ur targeted model including instructions etc.

Thank you. Will have a look at scalemates and get models online

1/35 Diobros PT 91M Pendekar Fixed and kit sharing
sudah lama tak main military kit, and for 1/35 tank, i stop buying since 5years ago.

Today the Diobros release the 1/35 PT 91M, so i bought the kit. Sharing some issue for the kits.

1) for Turret to install the GK resin, u need to mark the resin and then open the hole to fit in the kit. use drill bit 0.3-0.5mm to drill few holes then remove the unwant part. Assembled the tank without the Track link took me 2 days only.



2) Resin print track links, fragile and hard to assemble. Need to use super glue to cement pcs by pcs. I dont know why they not make in simple full pcs of track since the wheel is not movable. Very frustrate when the piece r very esily to break during u take it out from the resin or when u put the peice together.



Here is the 3d stl file to fix the truck links.






White color is low printing quality, grey color i look for a pro printer shop to help me print.




STL Link file: (short link for easy print)

Option B stl: (take noted, link too long may cause the printing quality blur, depend on your printer)
The track link may need to sand abit in order to fit in and need to adjust according to the wheel.

3) Digital camo Big size and figure. The tank crew is from Meng (HS-011) and this is the most similar to PT91M crews.








Link from taobao: Same seller, if u want small digi camo, u can look for 1/144 scale for gundam (u may need 2-3 pcs) in taobao
