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

sure or not? i was there yesterday and the price tag was RM289.... so RM290 is a bit exaggerate la...

3 types... gloss, semi gloss and flat (matte)

last time there is a shop at MV that sells topcoat only for rm24.50 each... (not everywhere is selling rm30 each)... but the shop in MV closed already... change to card game shop... it's the one opposite california fitness....

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?

depends on what type of finishing u want lo...

gloss - nampak berkilat kilat... reflective to lights
semi gloss - tak begitu kilat
flat - tak kilat... not reflective to lights

top coat is like a coating to prevent ur paint from peeling off... best used as follows:
surfacer -> paint -> topcoat

diamond comic... sg wang (behind stardust... stardust is beside litt tak... opposite red box, lvl 6) , times square (where the hell is DC TS ar? been there 1 year plus ago)

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?

alamak... type too fast... red box pulak... hahaha
oh, my red frame i bought from DC in TS

u can skip the surfacer and topcoat if you want....

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?

I want wait the Hi-Nu Gundam price drop. But I scare I won't find it again if I miss it now. I live in Penang so places to get Gundam is quite limited (3 places only)

U can get from edison,he'll go to penang sometimes i think..

i never really used surfacer before... but what i know is, surfacer has its own color...

it all depends on the last layer. if you paint is gloss, topcoat flat will make it flat. vice versa...

the more layer you spray, the thicker lo... obviously...

minimum layer (optimum) is 2. topcoat and surfacer is optional actually. if you dont have surfacer, u can wash ur pieces with detergent... surfacer is to make the color stick to your pieces better. it also makes the paint that you are going to use looks nicer. (imagine painting red on black, the red will not look vibrant. surfacer actually acts as a undercoat too)

possible. Modelling is entirely up to your creativity!!

jus buy on9 frm him...cheaper
