QUOTE(ShinAsakura @ Feb 27 2007, 11:01 PM) oh thx, is ther left 1 last topcoat semi-gloss or wat? i'm oso considering flat-matt or semi-gloss it really depends on what kind of panel lining and decals... do anyone hv pic to show da differ between 3types of topcoats, gloss, semi-gloss, n flat-matt, tat had been applied to a gunpla? thx in advance~ btw, KL reli dirty, congested, oh watever!  i jz left my SF MG 1 day, dust hv started to collect d...mz buy detolf cabinet fr Ikea den frame it up LOL flat - will not cover any microscopic holes on the models semigloss - read gloss and u will know that this is the medium level gloss - will cover 99% of microscopic holes on models... thus water slide decals... better to use gloss topcoat as you will have a smooth surface to put ur decals wash panel lining... better use gloss topcoat as the paint will FLOW smoothly according to your line... remember to rescribe (meaning make the 'longkang' / line deeper and wider by a little bit) for weathering... flat topcoat is the best.... to avoid 'yucky glossy' texture... spray gloss topcoat about 30 - 40 cm away from the model... one thin layer will do... you can convert gloss to flat by spraying the flat one last... remember... gloss topcoat is useful for decals and lining but do not use excessively... thin layer will do... |

QUOTE(kyosuke86 @ Feb 28 2007, 12:04 AM) A few questions to ask from the vids~ let me answer your questions (although i have not seen the video)1)Why are they filling up the gaps in the middle of the hollow parts? 2)After drawing the lineart with the gundam marker, how is it possible to clean up the unwanted marks? Shouldnt the ink had dried up by then? 3) After sandpapering some parts, there WILL be marks right? Any way to get rid of them other than painting over it? 1) now this i cant really imagine what is the hollow part without viewing the video... are u talking about seams? seams is the thin little gap that u see when u fix a two-piece combo... sanding and puttying will also help to make it seamless... gluing seam using cement (not construction ones) will also help... of course, sanding is require after gluing seams... 2) you can use an eraser to erase the excess marker's mark... just dont erase in parallel with the panel lining. there are 2 types of gundam marker for panel lining... water and oil based 3) sanding can make the surface smooth also... depends on which grade of sand paper u use. marks WILL NOT appear that obviously if you are using a high grade (thus, finer) sand paper to sand it. if you are a perfectionist, you can apply putty over the sanded area and re-sand it again... apply mr surfacer on it and u got a nice, smooth surfacer to work on.... |

QUOTE(kyosuke86 @ Feb 28 2007, 12:46 AM) I saw the vid and noticed that mr surfacer is grey in color... no worries, mr surfacer means no harm.... apply any color on grey or white mr surfacer.... the color will be vibrant also... no worries...what if the parts is of a different color? <<Total nub =.= QUOTE(boltguard @ Feb 28 2007, 01:05 AM) eheheh, u must be one hell of a gunpla model expert, answering kyosuke's questions without seeing teh vidz no la... tipu makan... tipu makan only... |

QUOTE(kyosuke86 @ Feb 28 2007, 08:14 AM) Mind explaining what mr surfacer does....? as the name of the product might reflect... mr surfacer is a solution that will make the SURFACE of the model smooth and 'paint-able'... mr surfacer is also something like putty, it can covers pin holes as well as majot microscopic holes...I watched the vid and saw this fella spraying mr surfacer on a green+white body. After spraying, the body's color is now whitish grey QUOTE(beckzaidan @ Feb 28 2007, 09:02 AM) all of this talk about painting and coating really make me GATAL TANGAN... wanna learn how to, tapi a bit scared... ahahaha... do not be afraid my young padawan... I too had my first attempt on my ever-favourite Astray Red Frame... with a little bit of care and creative... it turned out WELL... |

QUOTE(blackorange @ Feb 28 2007, 10:44 AM) i really want to paint my gunpla... but i got no airbrush and no money to buy one... hand painting is possible... read belowhow about hand painting? is it possible? any tips? QUOTE(VincC454 @ Feb 28 2007, 10:47 AM) of cause its possible.. yes, drybrush is an exciting attempt... you can try drybrushing the inner parts with silver and metallic color to make the entire model... look metallicdrybrush always have a nice effect.. you can start with spray can also for larger paint area.

QUOTE(beckzaidan @ Feb 28 2007, 01:16 PM) now i gatal already. ahahaha. ok, can u estimate the cost for the brush and paint. and whats dry brushing? U can try TM (Lvl 7) at BTS... they have a nice range of brushes, paints, sand papers... but compar price with XL Shop (Lvl 4) before u decide which to buyfor spray can, it does have the special spray can for model kit, right? i've seen it somewhere. i know some of the MASTER dont even used airbrush... and i heard some also used gundam marker to paint? is this doable? hows the result? gundam marker to paint the entire model? cost u a bomb... u will NOT get a very smooth looking paint... muahaha anyway, i dont use airbrush but me aint Da Master yet... keke... |

QUOTE(JdOtL @ Feb 28 2007, 02:17 PM) So many coat, won't it make the joint harder to assemble?QUOTE(ShinAsakura @ Feb 28 2007, 02:39 PM) erm, each coating only a thin layer sprayed fr 30-40cm, so it wont make any big differ i guess. mind you guys.... spray only at the place where you need to place decals or lining... last coat you can spray after full assembly...QUOTE(nlik @ Feb 28 2007, 04:33 PM) Hi Nu has arrived in Malaysia. OLD NEWS by the way...I was at XL-SHOP Times SQ yesterday nite. They are selling it for RM298. QUOTE(andyxp @ Feb 25 2007, 04:31 PM) sure or not? i was there yesterday and the price tag was RM289.... so RM290 is a bit exaggerate la...
