AB I guess will be the initial investment cost, a bit on the high side, but if u do these models regularly, then its a good investment lar...
as an initial investment, i agree..
the time i need to invest, that one quite tricky right now...

Dont ever try any thinner from hardware shop unless u are pretty sure those thinner are weak. I tried various thinner from hardware shop and I ended up turning my kits into goo.

My best bet is to use the DOT3 brake oil for automobile. If i am not mistaken, it can strip acrylic, enamel and lacquer paint.
thx for all the input...i've read in other forums that they also use brake oil for stripping paint, but most of them use acrylics for painting..
this is used on model cars as model cars have bigger space areas rather than gundam..
as for gundams, if not mistaken, they use Windex a.k.a Magiclean, which Magiclean, i dont know..

But now i have a problem. D place where i just moved in is very DUsty.. example: after i wipe my black wooden table...after few hours/immediately u can see dust gathering on top already. So my question is.. How can i Avoid these dust from sticking to my just painted model? I don dare to start even washing it as i know if i din painted right away.. d dust will start gather on top again.. grrr.. any idea how to face this?
My NG 1/144 models got deformed by this..even at priming stage as i use tamiya fine primer spray can, and i spray it outdoor, so, living in a house where the main road is about 50-60m away from my house, this is a problem and i dont have a spray booth..
now i got a spray booth setup made from cardboard box, still in need of adjustments, i was thinking whether can a paint curing box be done?
its like spray booth in a way, u have a duct fan where to placing of the duct fan is totally up to u, but a paint curing box is fully closed, but u cut holes at the top of the booth if ur duct fan is mounted on the side, and other side walls as well but cover the holes with let say, fine cotton cloth or ur used car air filter(make sure not so dirty larr)...will this affect the paint that are currently drying or no need for duct fan at all?
