hi guys... i was new to gunpla and also new to here.
ytd i apply the water decal on my nu ver ka... but... a water decal stick on my finger JUST NOW
i know my finger was a bit sweaty that time... but the reason decal fall off is becoz it haven dry completely ? or all water decal will fall off once they contact with wet surface ??
is that means must apply a layer of top coat or softener on it ? gosh... i completely not dare to touch my nu now >.<
For me water decal was the easiest decal to apply. Try too have a look on this.
I file, 1000grit -> 1500 grit -> 2000 grit -> then finally 2500 grit
For me, I would do file, 800grit->1000grit->1200grit->2500grit/used sandpaper->compound. Try this out, I learnt this from an senior which have 15+ years of experience in plastic model. You have to slowly increase the grit for sanding, not from after file, with rough surface straight jump to 1000grit, it will only waste your sandpaper. Cheers
Ok noted. I will try what you suggested. Btw after 1200 grit straight to 2500 grit already?
Hahaha after 1200 actually can apply compound already, most important is earlier step when the surface still rough, you have to slowly increase grit. With flat top coat, it will be fine. If you want finer touch then end with 1500, 2000, or 2500 grit. What I did is what I told you earlier file->800->1000->1200->used sandpaper. Trust me bro, I learnt from ah pek from ICW. No harm to try
