Godhand? LOL.
I used the Tamiya nipper around RM80. Quite good, low maintenance and have been using for the past 4 years. Still sharp.

godhand got under RM 200 ah? last time went to gundamtoyshop, they sell it around RM 435 blink.gif

hmm, is it tamiya side cutter for plastic? laugh.gif

Go for Mineshima Premium or G-Temple GT-02. Best bang for buck nipper reviewed by many modellers.

Buy it here

Godhand is good, but damn overrated and overpriced.

how about the tamiya sharp pointed nipper? is it good?

It's a popular choice among modellers (tamiya stuff always never disappoint) so I guess it's good(?)  but still a lil on the pricey side, no? RM180 market price last time I surveyed.

Those 2 I recommended cost much less than the Tamiya one. But then it's up to you if your budget nods. smile.gif It's just that IMO spending more than RM150 for a hobby tool is kinda overkill for an intermediate modeller.

Btw speaking of Tamiya, instead of spending RM40++ and RM60++ for the Tamiya Modeller's Knife and Modeller's Knife Pro respectively, go opt for this brand, OLFA. These two are basically identical as OLFA is the manufacturer for Tamiya's Knife series. And it costs half the price of the Tamiya's. smile.gif

to be frank air brush is not as complicated as it seems, but what seems to be paint general knowledge in other countries are seriously lack in malaysia hence people think its complicated

just buy a miny compressor with air brush pen included for 120 bucks include shipping to your doorstep

then buy paint type whichever u feel okay with like

lacquer is the strongest fastest drying but most toxic hence protection required

acrylic is not as good but is the least toxic eventually most people skip the protection

enamel is the paint u use for panel lining, can also use them to do reverse wash process
dont think a lot on air brush just go buy a set and you will be amaze how easy it is compare to spray can (unless your are spraying 1/60 scale kits and above)

also sifu here are all ready to help..

compressors can also be bought cheaply from hair saloon supply shops.

but the small compressors can sustain for long hours spraying?

I can't remember exactly, but around RM500 waaay back then methinks.
The air brush gun itself was slightly costlier as I got a Japanese one... but I've since used sparmax and generic Chinese made ones. Not much difference for an amateur like me.

hmm, will take into consideration when I am gonna get an air brush ! Thanks ya

Smaller compressors usually won't let you go on for hours and hours. You're looking at 45 minutes to 120 minutes depending. Bigger ones cost more, and have better features of course.

but for beginners, small one will do right? laugh.gif

Yeah, can get something small and cheap. Should work for a beginner. If you feel you're really going to be seriously into this, then you can work on getting a better one. But best to start with a cheap AB and a small compressor. See how it works for you first.

Just nid to watch out on the usage, mini ones dun usually come with auto off n it will burn out if u use it continuously for hours on end. 30min of spraying and then let it cool down awhile b4 continuing is recommended.

Also usually dun come with moisture trap and regulator so the results may not be consistent.

thanks for the advice guys, the smaller compressor can also adjust the PSI ?
