But cathedral is the one of the unique model in bf series that's not originate from other series.

Still don't like the big thigh though...

You try buy some abs sheets with the same thickness and cut your own to replace the missing piece or plastic card that's durable to replace it.

Always bear in mind that the toughness of paint type that you use for detailing and panel lining, lacquer is the strongest, enamel second and acrylic is the weakest. So you can always try enamel base with extra thinner such as zippo to make watery for ease of panel lining. Marker for panel lining is convenient but always face challenges for small kits like rg. Then if use top coat always bear in mind when spraying have to be outdoor with dry weather else better don't do it. Smaller kits with high detail is risky when using spray cans, follow the 30cm distance with 2 to 3 coats strictly. Be patient and you should get a pretty compelling finish. Yes mist spray is important as the only advantage from air brush to spray can is the nozzle.

think denial even better, at least you get lots of transparent special effect parts...

very clean build!, any plan to add led head light? can also diy yourself under rm5 to rm8 with a led, switch and cr2032 socket with battery.

bought mine from china under rm1 exclude battery and shipping cost la.

Yeah, as long as you ensure the ori parts surface has no major defect you're good to go, also you only want flat surface so the requirement for the surface is not so critical.

again spray can pre cautious has to be taken too, spray outdoor, remain 30cm distance light spray with many coats and do your spray work under hot sunny day, if its rainy or after rains stop your work.

you dont have to worry bout too much for surface imperfections after spray, can also sand it with appropriate grade to get the surface you want and redo the spraying. hehe there are always dust and small bulu ended up on your kits so hatta do this anyway...

the major use for priming is to observe and improve the painted surface, also improves the finish paint holding strength.

you do know that matt top coat is not for your transparent parts right?

a link for your jaw dropping pg fa unicorn dark metallic style, well at least its jaw dropping for me though...

can try transparent red to top coat it, always try with some plastic 1st though, i always try on plastic spoon before i start. you can also test out the feel of spray and distance to take to get the finish you want...

cheapest would be air brushing in the long run, that way you can try a variety of other brands of prime paints.

can recommend much bout spray cans cheap options because it doesnt support most shipping and i have my own air brush kit.

noticed this since day one so i bought air brush set. for example i bought:

airbrush kit set for rm120 includes shipping and air filter with mini compressor

and most paints only cost bout rm5 for 15ml with thinner for rm7.5 that can thin to ratio 1:4 which is 60ml

also you can control the outflow so now worries of wasting paint.

i have my sets of merely 3 or 4 spray cans cost. still you can always sand your way out using 1500 or 2000 sand paper if you want to...

well from my end every time dries up i add thinner that's all, i pre-thin my paints and put in pharmaceutical eye drop bottles and it works like a charm till now some been months haven't use still in liquid form.

hehe both you can get it for under rm300 now if you want, but from the price you already know where it came from la...

already said both for under rm300 ma thought its already clear... but from where or what brand dun wan clearly said la because dun wan promote too much on bootlegs. unless our brada really want it economically which i totally get it.

whoa thats a points added indeed!

For the gold part better stick to paint job no matter marker or spray, tried various decals and stickers even metal stickers. Serious regretting using those, total waste of time if tried google reverse wash technique see whether it's too fussy for you else would be a cool skill to have.

the theory behind reverse wash is based on paint type toughness, lacquer base paint is much more stronger that can resist enamel base thinner.

so when you painted gold lacquer base under coat and after paint dried put another top coat of black enamel base paint, then use enamel thinner or zippo oil to remove the portion that you wanted as gold which in your case most of the protrusion area. there are lots of reverse wash videos using sinanju, you can check that out. works like a charm for me, i have even extended to buy titanium gold and leaf gold tamiya enamel paints.

last month been there nothing that im aware of, you lookin for spray cans?

it is best advised to use 2000 or 2500 grade paper to gradually sand them off, remove it with thinner also can but handle it with care as some lacquer thinner tends to be stronger depends on brand. these strong lacquer thinner will melt your piece.

i use xunin lacquer thinner to clean my pieces that wanted to redo painting, i just dip it and brushes it and dry it using normal cloth. all these was done with 1 to 2 minutes, heard lots of people put it in a container with thinner ended up parts melted or deform.

can, but it require lots of work and patience to get it right. for reverse wash pretty much fool proof just require you to buy gold color spray can. black enamel you can hand-paint it.

below video might give you some ideas:

by the way test paint top using 2 layer of pledge floor care, of course this is a very smooth surface spoon la:



another pic of chrome finish parts just with intention to drag you in air brush are hahaha

i ordered online though jshobby based in jb, lots of stock you can choose from...

not sure what base is the gundam marker but as far as i know its oil based, so theoretically you can use gold markers to paint it as undercoat and use acrylic based black paint to hand brush as top coat, finally use acrylic thinner to remove.

again strongly advise you to watch a few youtube videos on reverse wash to get an idea how it works... usually most videos use air brush but you can refer it too...
