yeah, perhaps we should have a pinned thread - but then again, no one ever reads them
FAQ -
1Where to buy paint?
2can i use hardware shop paints?
3What is Polycaps?
4where to buy gundam?
5which website to buy gundam?

hey , for item 4 and 5 there is a pinned thread for it already.... tongue.gif

maybe we should discuss what should be put inside, so that in a sense we are helping our fello gundamates tongue.gif.

apart from that question 1 is kinda wide, you can buy paint from anywhere hahah tongue.gif

oh yeah what is polycaps ?, do we have a gundam guru who is interested to make a thread that we can pinned up...

or would it be better to have a subforum just for modelling tongue.gif

use the search function la....

hmm under the search what should i be looking for ?
"spray paint hardware general "

i doubt the search engine is that efficient, i would prefer if i'm given answer "on the spot".

nevermind end of discussion of what paint i can use , i hope i can find the information that i'm looking for.. tongue.gif

this nick.. you mean my nick ? familiar as in ???

ok..for quick..
hardware spray are not recommended for your gundam or even other tamiya model..
they can sometimes damage you plastic..
actually no need to use search tab or whatever..just climb 2 or 3 pages back already can find the answer..cause people keep asking the same thing almost every day
*
well if there is a pinned thread, we can just point them there,
aka "the thread of everything gundam you want to know".

you mentioned "can sometimes damage your plastic", what kind of damaged? corossive ? or something else.

all i know is that the paint can't stick on evenly that all...

hey check this out

http://www.dickblick.com/categories/spraypainting/details/

i wonder if some of their stuff is compatible with gunpla's plastics...
apart from that anybody have some "in-tech" into what materials are used
in model gundams ?

1 quick question, is there a difference in the "plastic" in terms of quality between PG/MG/HG ?

There sure is BIG difference.......
even the HG also...
New HG and Old HG quality is different....
u can compare the GS & GSD HG model v Wings / G / earlier HG model.....
*
you mentioned big difference,
is the plastic more durable/strong/bendable ?

anybody know how i can fix mis-align parts ?
eg left part + right part = new part , but when leftpart +rightpart , it doesn't seem to align so well there seems to be about .05 mm from one corner.. sad.gif

PG got more ABS plastic lor, MG got some and HG less. thats about it. the rest of the plastic is same la. i think the reasons why PG > MG > HG is because of the engineering behind the model. not the quality of the plastic
*
you mentioned PG got ABS plastic , abs as in ???

i'm sure its not related to auto-breking system right tongue.gif

For me the plastic that Bandai produce is all the same now! No matter wat grade they all feel the same! If u want difference then try comparing Bandai ones with Kotobukiya one u can feel the difference!!!
*
so bandai better or Kotobukiya better ?? thats the most important question tongue.gif
