X gundam looks stupid to me.. Im waiting for the MG Hi Nu gundam. it's gonna be a large kit. I remember the largest kit i ever bought was MG SAZABI... BUt it is also the most disappointed Kit i ever have in my entire MG collection. the hand and legs are not flexible at all.. Cant pose other than stand almost straight. hands cant carry its gun properly.. (too heavy and will slide down) then easily comes off when move them around.

In the end i sell it after i finish building it. Some keep the nice box and instuction book. But I stil love the design of SAZABI so much... if there is a PG next time.. i hope it wont let me down.. keke.

Whats the most anticipating MG thats coming up next? Or any PG? My desire for modeling has returned recently.. have stop for 2 years oredy. planning to start again after cny

Anyway. lets discuss .. What is the MG or PG that you guys love Bandai will release in the future? I see almost all gundams has been released in MG. There will be no gundam to be MGIzed anymore.

I'll vote for SAZABI PG. GONNA BE REAL BIG! as for mg.. DESTINY!

OUUUUUUUUU~~~~~ it is soo nice the MG NU GUNDAM!!!! Love the colour too. Those metalic gun and parts are so cool too..

I think i have to consider changing my target from PG Mark 2 to Hi nu Gundam~~ Is there anything like Hi SAZABI~~ ha ha ha~

I Have Airbrush set.. But i din really make full use it of it. Last time i try airbrushed my rx 78-1 year war MG. Try to do weathering effect. But because i din use any base (mr surfacer etc) So it can easy scratch off by fingers. Now have stop modelling for 2 years. wanna do it again after cny. But i need people to guide me how to use airbrush on Gundam.

wat process to wat process. and what colour to use. i have plenty of question. I notice Glossy paint is stronger than Flat Paint much better. But I love Flat Paint much better. How can i make the flat paint stick stronger?

thats kinda hard to resist. I always will Change my gundam posing style after sometime ..Since that is the good thing about all those MG and PG. The paint getting scratch off from my modelvery easily. just move my nail slight touch the surface already can make a mark on it. By the way I put a lot of thinner and Spray just a very thin layer of (grey + brown) on it to make weathering effect. Is this d right way?

So in order to prevent paint from scratching off..
A) i have to wash the model with detergent
B) spray Mr Surfacer?
C) Spray with Air brush?
D) After Airbrush is there any other coating needed?

Usually for gundam modeller... Will you colour the whole gundam... or just Spray some area to be darken?

don get either one of it.. cause i personally dont like either one of that.. if still have to choose i will choose f91. (but it look when assembled .so small like 1/144 ...)

Wait for Hi Nu Gundam. Hopefully when im back KL from Cny.. it will be released.. cant wait..

What is the colour to use for the WHITE surface of your guy's gundam? I want the Matte/flat surface instead of glossy. Mr color or Tamiya? I bought Mr color few years ago and i notice like all its colour are Glossy one. Correct me if im wrong. As for Tamiya I notice there are 2 types. Glossy and flat. So which will u recommend me to use.. with airbrush

Hey guys.. Will i die if i Airbrush inside an aircond room?

The problem now is im not staying at home.. Im renting a room smwhr opposite timesquare (i can go XL /TM) anytime i want. he he.. But if i airbrush in the living room donno my housemates(strangers from other countries) will go and kacau or not when i leave it there.. As a modeller, you know how PRECIOUS ONE piece of your model parts is. One gone then MATI la. My room is aircond.. NO fan.. and small jail windows.. So cham.. that is why i have stopped modelling for so long..

Who wants to buy Mg Hi Nu from Edison? Make sure ask him to bring enough stock in. By the way, I cant access to the link for dalong. wats going on?

what is AF 6?

1 should be more than enough... But i never like to use the gundam marker pen. it seems transparent and not solid. i prefer Paint + thinner.. let it flow in .. then ..wipe/ scratch off the extra. if needed. just touch up with gundam marker.

is bigger.. is cool..and i like the colour scheme. Unlike gundam wing or seed design. I still prefer gundam design such as Z, Gp01,2,3, mark..and Nu of course.

Guys!!! Can i replace Tamiya Thinner with normal Cheap thinner(for wallpainting)?

Cause im beginning to use Airbrush.. But i can afford to wash my airbrush everytime with the TAmiya expensive Thinner. Imagine if i need to submerge the whole aibrush into a cup of thinner.. Tat will be rm 30 gone each time for a bottle of tamiya thinner!!!

I need advice on using Airbrush.. Please help me up!!!~ There must be quite a number of u guys using airbrush here right?

you mean detergent? For washing plates or toilet?

They have Hi Nu Gundam Already?!!! rm289 thats expensive... I wonder when can i get from edison~~~~ tak tahan liau~~

This is my airbrush. i now have problem putting them back.

I know how to assemble the rest of the part except the one i circled with Red..

It drop out just now ( Befor this i never know this part can b taken out)..i hope i din break it or wat.

Anyway.. u see d drawing below.. I hope u understand what im trying to ask here...
Should tat Part... d curve area facing left or facing right?


Attached thumbnail(s)

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?

where is diamond comic.. how come i never heard of this shop b4?

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?
