http://www.ebay.com.my/listResults?browse=...itSearch=Search

500+ is oledi okay    last time i saw b4 the shop was shifted, it wuz 700+

Andyxp, u saw dendrobium 1/144? seriously?    cool, teh one wit teh big box ryte?, how much is it? 

They have Hi Nu Gundam Already?!!! rm289 thats expensive... I wonder when can i get from edison~~~~ tak tahan liau~~

Saw Hi Nu gundam Mg at XL timesquare just now.. Selling for rm 290+ The box is same height + width with sazabi.. but Thinner.

Cant find it in TM. I went there to check the modelling tools.: such as...
Epoxy Putty, Mr Surfacer 1000, Top Coat- Matte, gloss etc. Mr Thinner, Mr leveling thinner.

Is there any website for Tamiya / Mr Colour that tell us what each of this product used for? Like Mr Leveling thinner.. wat is it different flat(matte) wat will happen?

erm, how many types of topcoat r ther? i'm buyin 1, but stil thinking on which type...
btw, GP-03 Stamen darn cool la! sure exp...
bout Hi-nu...RM290+ is too exp la, i'll wait for the price drop i guess, mayb buy it together v akatsuki twin pack 

hm...which type of topcoat better ar?
btw, DiamondComic selling Hi-v  for RM245, price for members hehe 

where is diamond comic.. how come i never heard of this shop b4?

its in Sungei Wang, 6th floor aka Roof Top. its located beside StarDust hobby shop n Gundam shop ther.....
btw andyxp, RedBox chg to GreenBox d  n, DC in TS is at 7th Floor, at the end right, center slot...i guess

hm, semi-gloss better rite.....coz over-gloss make it looks...yuk!

Guys, is it like this

Surfacer--->Colour--->Topcoat?

Must have these 3 to spray my gundam?

ohh.. that shop.. ha ha..i almost every week got go there but nvr realise its shop name. Since i stay at bukit bintang area.

andyxp, Surfacer----> Paint-----> Top Coat.

Surfacer has a few types right? Wat i saw is Mr Surfacer 1000. I also heard b4 got White colour surfacer, grey and black? Is that mean when spray the model.. The model will appear grey.. or it is just the can colour?
Mind explain to me in more detail? Sorry nvr use all these b4.

And for the paint. There is flat and gloss paint. If i want Gloss paint then i have to use Gloss Top Coat? What if  use flat paint and goes with Gloss Top coat  vice versa?

To summarize.. The minimun layers of spray will be 3 layers: Surfacer, colour, and Top coat.

I've seen technique like MAX technique which apply Surfacer---> Black paint---> Darker pinkish white----> White paint---> then only Top coat..

Is like 5 to 6 layers all together.. I wonder will the model increase thickness by 1-2 mm?

Is it possible to apply finishers to a model without painting them/ coating them with anything else? As in.. applying the finisher on the raw plastic parts itself.

Anyone tried it? How's the result?

allright another question . for that last 7-10 years. i mostly just paint the panel lines of my gundam, without colouring. (used diluted paint with thinner.. let it flow into the lines, then Wipe off/ scratch of the extra paint with toothpick)

But now if im going to paint my model. After Surfacer> paint> Topcoat, how am i going to draw the line? If i use toothpick to scratch.. it will scatch away my painted colour below. If i use thinner to wipe the extra black.. It might wipe away the painted colour below too.

Question: Will the Topcoat protect the painted colours below it from thinner Above?

* i dont really prefer gundam marker pen. it looks weak and not solid.

Can someone clarify me on these?

Lots of stories related to DC boss attitude
you can read some of those stories in this thread

erm...she's (boss) ok la...haha... me n my group of frens always lepak ther, so we kinda fren d XD sumtimes we make a fool of her too 
tat day get angpao fr her haha 

Means u wont left a cut mark at the plastic as it's under the thing.This will protect the gold plated plastic..

So basicaly undergate is good cuz when the parts are fitted together, the cut marks cant be seen right?
But even if usingthe side gate, the marks can be fixed with some painting right?

i din see guy boss so long d...mayb he's "gone" 
FBM's stand r better, normal MG stand was a total failure, jz a normal stick tats not reli balance. tis makes Hi-v 's stand awesome 

Talkin about stands....
The hi-nu's stand is by far the most unique i've seen (i just started entering the world of gunpla)

Then again, notice the hole in the middle? Bandai cutting costs....

its on top of sushi king. havent been there myself, but i saw the sign

great.. i'll be there tomorrow... hahaha

Bendi brand```ha ha ha.. they have even EVA perfect grade BENDI brand last time i saw.. no hard buying few for extra parts for customize your bandai gundam.. or if ur MG suddenly broke one important parts.. mayb can try buying bendi to replace.. mua ha ha ha

that's not cutting cost lah, the stand itself it's an emblem/logo, i think it's amuro emblem/logo, since all the gundams he piloted after rx-78 have the same logo

do they have alot of choice for the bendi model kits? still got MG bendi?

To those that has bought the items from edison, are the gunplas original?

1) superclear is lacquer base, top coat is water base. Not much difference in term of usage and the result, in my opinion.

2) Mr base white is bottle type, Mr white surfacer is spray-can type. Both will give u white prime color, good for light tone paint. Number higher mean the paint is more fine. Got pro and con on this.

3) Mr metal primer, is a primer/base coat for metalic type paint. So far i never use this b4, so can't comment much.

4) Mr leveling thinner got Retarder Mild formula, which make the paint dry slower abit. Good for metalic paint and glossy effect. But expensive.

I might be wrong, correct me if I am wrong.

I will avoid cleaning my MG Freedom in the future.................ever.
