QUOTE(carpathia @ Feb 12 2007, 04:34 PM) yeah, perhaps we should have a pinned thread - but then again, no one ever reads them hey , for item 4 and 5 there is a pinned thread for it already.... FAQ - 1Where to buy paint? 2can i use hardware shop paints? 3What is Polycaps? 4where to buy gundam? 5which website to buy gundam? 6 maybe we should discuss what should be put inside, so that in a sense we are helping our fello gundamates apart from that question 1 is kinda wide, you can buy paint from anywhere hahah 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 |

QUOTE(VincC454 @ Feb 12 2007, 04:51 PM) ok..for quick.. well if there is a pinned thread, we can just point them there, 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 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 ? Added on February 12, 2007, 4:59 pm QUOTE(swlong @ Feb 12 2007, 04:54 PM) well for once i believe noobs should be screwed at, for once who asked them to be a noob sometimes people respond better under a little pressure, and little meaning VERY little This post has been edited by JinXXX: Feb 12 2007, 04:59 PM |

QUOTE(swlong @ Feb 12 2007, 05:10 PM) There sure is BIG difference....... you mentioned 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..... 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.. |

QUOTE(eyerule @ Feb 12 2007, 05:50 PM) 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 |

QUOTE(300078 @ Feb 12 2007, 07:05 PM) 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 |
