you must get a wing zero custom. sure it's small, articulations are ok, but the wings are just awesome when displayed.

Hand Painting's nice smile.gif

Just make sure to get decent brushes (dun need to be the expensive branded ones, just decent ones will do.)

A size 8 for general purpose painting, a size 4 for the smaller areas, a size 000 for the lining, and another size 8 for the dry brushing.

For paints, I use a mix of Tamiya and Citadel (50% paint mix ratio). The Tamiya allows for the paint to flow off the brush and coat the plastic better, and the citadel mix in the paint allows for a nicer finishing compared to using Tamiya alone.

Here's a pic of a hand painted model, the MG Gyan:[attachmentid=198453]

now i gatal already. ahahaha. ok, can u estimate the cost for the brush and paint. and whats dry brushing?

for 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?

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 buy

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 biggrin.gif but me aint Da Master yet... keke...

i've been to TM before, and saw a lot of paints.

andyxp, show us a few of ur work man. maybe dat will BAKAR me more to paint my model... ahahaha...

Brushes r pretty cheap, and can last quite a while if u take care of it well. The price varies, depending on the size. The size 8 that I use costs about RM4 each, or if u r to go for the fabel castel ones, RM8 or so. The smaller ones r cheaper.

To make the brush last, soak them in thinner and wipe clean every few hours or so.

For paints, Tamiya costs RM10 per 10ml bottle, while Citadel costs RM10 per 12ml bottle. U can get the Citadel paints from that hobby shop that does the warhammer stuff over at 2nd floor Amcorp.

for dry brushing, check here:

now i understand what drybrushing is.

ok, for a MG kit, a bottle of paint is enough? let say if i want to paint my rx93, white as a major color. will a bottle of 10ml paint be enough??

sorry for so many question, just brought up my interest of painting my kit. gile gatal...

hand painting tends to be a lot more paint efficient. basically how I did my rx93 currently in progress is...

base color is gray: 50% Tamiya flat white, 50% citadel white + drop in Tamiya black until the mix turns gray.

dry brush white on top until I get the shade that I want.

Basically I mixed about 1/5 of the bottle of Tamiya and 1/5 of the citadel bottle. Still got 1/3 of that mix left over too. Basically, depending on how u do it, one bottle can last you quite a while.
*
now i am tempted to try it...

maybe will take a vacation from office for a few days just to try this out... gotta plan my leave...

thanx for all who answer my question, really helps. was imagining hiNU in a new color scheme. dats why i was asking paing questions...

now if i can find a way to replace all the decals i've applied on my older kit... i heard the decal are quite hard to find and also very expensive... rite? it comes for each model rite? or just a selected few?

but natural light is still the best smile.gif

what i've learn in few of my photography class.

u can used table lamp, but more great effect if u wrap the lamp bulb with white paper,like A4, so it neutralize the light from becoming too white. that wat i ussualy do....

i've seen a photography setup somewhere on the net for modelkits. i'll try to find it and post it here...
