shin...can u take some snap photo of ur spray inner frame of ur SF??the gold colour painted with Mr. Color no. 9 nice or not??

XL just restock their markers already
you can go get it from MV branch
here are my freedom with no.9 been spray on the inner frame

I personally feel tat the tamiya titanium Gold is more shiny than the Mr Color Gold!!!

boyarque u did not paint the inner frame of the kit? U can used the Flat top coat to make the inner frame part more realistic and used the Gloss one for the armor the make it more shinny! Then it would be more perfect!!!

not so great but not so bad either I may say...heheeheh...my first effort in recolouring an MG ( coz the ori color looks so bad anyways )...broken a few parts also in the process

ShinAsakura:
Mr. Surfacer is used as the base coat
don't spray it on your painted Gundam
Topcoat is the one that you need if you want a protection layer for your paint

if not mistaken no
its in paint bottle .. like Mr Hobby...

I myself is looking for gold paint (spray type)

I dun like painting the parts while they are still on the runner becoz when u cut them out u will see the place where connecting to the runner unpaint or having a slightly different color from the whole thing!!!

It may be fast but overall it aint good!

U can assemble ur kits first (just dun fix them too hard) then when u want to paint u dissemble them! Better off part by part (hand, leg, body, head dun fix them all together it will be hard for certain parts to dissemble). I learn my leason after breaking a few parts of my Zeta.

wat bout surfacer  ??

he wants to know what is surfacer..... 

OMG how many of cans of paint u use ??

basically there are a few grade of surfacer.. (correct me if i'm wrong) from gunze/mr color.
500  - blue
1000 - white
1200 - gray
the higher the number, the finer the particles. i use 1000 on mine..
u can also use surfacer 500 as a putty too.. it works great too for small seam lines..
using surfacer/top coat can prevent minor peeling, so it depends on how u abuse the paint kekekeke
i think tis link will help u understand it's uses more clearly..

hmm... when I get back home, I'll take a pic of me tool box so your eyes can budge out in regards to how many cans of paints I've collected over the years

andyxp:
Mr. Surfacer also got spray can
but I don't know which toy shop got sell it

So in order to prevent paint from scratching off..
A) i have to wash the model with detergent
B) spray Mr Surfacer?
C) Spray with Air brush?
D) After Airbrush is there any other coating needed?
E) Cut your fingernails

but the akatsuki come wit 2 diff backpacks rite?

aft the Strike Noir, there shouldn't be anymore gundams based on the strike frame.....i'm hoping for a MG Impulse, IJ & Destiny

i think clipping ur nails will be step A! kekekeke
be gentle to ur kits.. it's not meant for being man-handled when u wana pose it.. check all the movable parts before changing pose.. this way u can avoid scratching it.. oso the use of topcoat or clear coat will help a bit.. but it u over do it.. the paint still comes off..

aiyo..bought a silver gundam marker,but it's not shinny at all!!

which parts of the SF do u color wit silver marker?

i got it from TM and the price is RM65+
I dun think u can get it from TM anymore (out of stock currently) try Graffiti (remember seeing one before)! The model is very hard to find nowadays!!!

For me i wish Bandai will release the 303 Devilfish, that is a masterpiece!!! Way more cooler than the Nirvash (i think it overshinned in the last 2 episod)

In BTS at the same level where McDonald is! It is just near by McD!!!

mind showing a pic of how the pen looks
