I'm a completely noob on gundam here..just got addicted after i've build my first gundam.....just have a question about painting on gundam models. Is there any cheap solution on painting them? like acrylics paints...is it neccessary must go for those Tamiya's paint? Because I found those normal acrylic paints from those art shops, is it ok to use them as the price is very cheap compared to those tamiya's paint.
*
I use Hobby colour to paint my gundam,much cheaper compare to Tamiya's,but Tamiya's bottle looks larger than Hobby colour. I like Hobby colour more than Tamiya's...By the way,you are hand painting or using airbrush/spraycan?

Maybe other members here can give you opinion on what paint should be used. smile.gif

I have been long didnt assembly and paint a gundam already....no time. sad.gif Still have a lot of boxes I havent started to assembly. Miss my gundam painting time..sob cry.gif

Thanks for all of your replies,  biggrin.gif I'm not a gundam fans in the first place...but I window shopping and bought those RM30 no-grade gundam back to build...now I really got addicted... laugh.gif  I'm planning to get another model....let's say if i get those around RM50-80 bucks model, is it ok for a noob?
*
Haha,believe me,you will get addicted and buy more and more and more until you dont know where else to put biggrin.gif But dont buy those RM30 one,they are pirated. try those HG 1st that is yes around RM60-100. You will notice the difference between original and pirated one. Later if you get enough experience,try MG,which is at least Rm1XX,more detail and have inner part. thumbup.gif Welcome to the hobby!! smile.gif

I saw Gunze paints in XL Mid valley at RM5.90 . Mr Hobby is different brand?
*
Gunze paints have two type I think. One is Hobby colour another one is Mr.colour. Hobby colour and Tamiya are acrylic paint,which is more waterish and much easier to paint imo. Mr.colour is enamel paint,which is oily and more difficult for hand painter but the colour can last longer. Imo,for hand painters better go for acrylic paint which is Hobby colour or Tamiya. I personally like hobby colour more. smile.gif

MH r going to b relocated to Cineleisure (The Curve). When they r going to re-open is unknown yet

Miniature hobby is the only model shop in Midvalley before XL came right? Wonder is it they worry XL will steal some of its customers,so they decided to move? Last time I always went to their shop to buy paints....

Mr. Color is Lacquer paint
which is arcylic base but need to dissolve with thinner

I heard that MV want to increase the rent of MH space
so MH decided to shift
*
Wao...Mr.colour is arcylic base? I dont know tongue.gif . I only know it is like enamel paint,more thicker than normal arcylic paint. Enamel and lacquer are both oil paint right? Whats the difference? By the way,Thanks for the info mate smile.gif

By the way,you use Mr.colour? Cos I heard a lot of expert prefer those thicker paint. I use hobby colour but I also add in a little of thinner...

Mh is the one at the top floor near Tamiya? If so,then I might have been mistaken with another shop. Thats one shop at 1st or second floor i think. They selling original one...I thought is that shop moved tongue.gif

with the current Model Kits price warfare if u get a RM30 - RM50 HG kits it may still be an original. My powered GM is onli worth RM40.
*
HG kits can get RM30plus? Thats more like a BB price to me already... RM 40-50 still possible,but it is rare. And the guy mentioned he got a no grade gundam for RM30,so I was expecting those are pirated one...

Relax bro,I am not saying you are posting useless post,what I mean is you dont have to post 3 in a row,can use the 'quote' button. Posting 3 posts in a row considered spam right,mod?

I remember there is one shop at level one or two,quite good one,they sell original only. I think near Jusco and the escalator in south/north court. Sorry I forgot south or north already.

Those parts which is in grey color should be the mod / additional part for Crossbone
luckily I didn't buy MG Crossbone yet
I nearly bought it last week  sweat.gif

Bandai is getting more evil on MG Kits
Strike -> Strike IWSP
F91 -> F91 Harrison Madin
Crossbone -> Crossbone Full Cross
sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Bandai is always that evil,they wana make more money from us. They already did what you said on the earlier MGs. Remember:

Dom -> Rick Dom
ZZ Gundam -> FAZZ
Gundam MKII AEUG ver.) -> Super Gundam
Zaku I (Black 3 stars) -> Zaku II (Black 3 stars)
S Gundam -> EX-S Gundam
Zeong -> Perfect Zeong
etc.

Discussing which is bigger n taller instead of which fares better in battle  rclxm9.gif

But whatever it's, Seed Destiny's Gundams still kick all the previous ones' ass coz it's more modern n sophisticated  flex.gif

ROFL!
Seed Destiny's MS copy a lot of UC's MS. That still consider kick ass?
And even the story is copying UC...

Seed is nice but not Seed Destiny
IMO, SD is totally a rip off
Seed has cool Gundam design (like Strike, Justice)
while MS in SD are mostly upgrade ver. of Seed MS  vmad.gif
*
This is what I thought too. Seed destiny.....sigh. mad.gif
If people wana compare which model design is nicer between UC and CE. Please look at the date the anime released. Some of the mecha arent even an upgraded version to me. It is just plain copy and paste or combine several mecha into one.

I dont mind they did that but I jus feel frustrated on some of the people that dont know anything about UC,but keep on saying CE is much much much better than UC. I even heard some kids who said UC's mecha copy from CE's. What a joke.
