MG Jesta looks bland due to the dull color scheme it used.

the design is actually better than most GMs out there.

However, the P-bandai version though........

ZZ Gundam Ver.ka
Yay or Nay?
Wasn't a fans of the series, but it looks pretty gorgeous

Will wait for review before I decide, to me the Ver.Ka to defeat is still the Nu Gundam. One leg construction alone contains the same number of pieces in an HG kit.

Isn't that suppose to be sazabi, building sazabi is like building a pg to me, and the decals is ridiculously long and fragile on the leg thruster area

I still wonder why there's no Ver.ka from 0083 series when it's suppose to be one of Katoki favorite series that he design

Sazabi qualifies too, but I'm referring to Gundam kit. When comparing the Ver.Ka side by side with normal MG, it's like comparing Windows 10 with Windows 95 lol.

true that, they're so nice to look at and fun to build, that is why i collected ver.ka mostly, but then again it lacks the variety, how i wish they plan for a GP02A and GP01FB

Pending for review as well, it's transformable AND a combiner, worried it might be very flimsy....

Wow you spray exclusively with Tamiya spray can as well?
I'm on my second build and I'm still using Tamiya spray for now.
I notice sometimes I got a darker tint at 1 side when spraying with Tamiya spray. Any idea why is this happening?

Have been contemplating whether should get air brush or not.
Any recommendations for air brush that is suitable for indoor use? I'm staying with my family and I don't wanna get killed for spraying paint indoors lol.

yup with tamiya spray only

darker tint?? i only experience when spray gold @ v-fin what i do is spray the distance further , not sure what happen

i will get air brush when i got money for kamiki 2.0 coz this build not perfect

air brush i think need to be indoor or close to indoor as you need power to run it, i dont have air brush so i cant give too much info

I see, I'm not too sure what happened as well. Maybe I spray too close to the parts lol.
I usually do a fast pass at a closer distance when spraying. Usually around 5-6 cm only.

mine should be double of yours

other color didnt notice, coz i try on the spoon thn i find out only gold has it

maybe not shake enough, FYI before spray you need to shake for 30 seconds

Based on prototype pics teased documendated and took long time for final colorized images, looks like they planned it properly.

They do other transformation ver KA MG like Victory/V2 but nothing same like ZZ ver KA.

I see, yea maybe I should spray farther away from the parts lol.
Lately it's too windy to spray and if I didn't keep the spray can close enough the paint will get blown all over the place lol.

ya agree so i put newspaper at the ground

make sure the wind blow where you facing else you will get free paint on your face lol

To me Original Nu MG is better looking than ver. ka as it's closer to original design and sleeker.

but if more parts & decals is you thing, definitely ver. ka.

rich people use Tamiya, rm40 a pop, for a 1/100 kit you need at least 1.5 cans just for the armors, that is not including primers which is another 1.5 cans.

that's easily over rm100 just on paints.

poor man use any cans they can get cheap like those in DIY & Ace.

for wind problem, you can always buy a 30kg box from Pos Laju, cut out the flaps on 1 side and spray in the box. have a fan blowing behind you, this will ensure majority of the paint stays inside the box and less chance dust gets on. if you sayang the box put scrap paper inside so you can change it like diapers. the box is rm9.90 only anyway. so far only manage to get it along KL Sentral Pos Laju.

even with airbrush you will face back spray when you spray hollow areas. same method can be used indoors but you need a vent to route the toxic gas out of the house. but doing it outdoor is better. just get 2 extension power plug so you can get power outdoor.

and get a half face gas mask, normal mask just filter dust not vapor.

and when you leave painted parts to dry, do have ventilation as the parts will still release solvent vapor as it cures.

you know you got lead poison if your mouth taste sweet.

eye goggles, gloves, arm sleeves, socks, long pants & hat are also recommended for your own H&S. If you wear spec you can get big one in Daiso, you ruin your glasses if paint gets on them.

have fun and stay safe.

Thanks a lot for the advice, especially on H&S
I usually wear a normal face mask and it doesn't block the vapor as I can still smell the odor. Fuuh Tamiya lacquer smells bad

Yea Tamiya spray not cheap but it doesn't have high barrier of entry like airbrush. Good for beginners like me to explore spray painting.
Huh, getting extension power isn't a bad idea lol. Thanks for the tips bro

you can get the 3M half face gas mask that has a Main filter & pre filter. There are 2 models Blue more expensive white cheaper and can be found in ACE Hardware for the price of Blue on ebay. however i cannot gurantee the one on ebay are genuine but for me it passes the "Perfume Test".

both should use same filter.

for me M is too big for my face and if you wear spec it can be a hindrance but Ace only carries M size.

you can get better package deal that comes with everything on ebay from China. should be under rm200. remember to get spare pre-filters as they wear out faster.

normal face mask only good when you do sanding. it's advisable to wear it while sanding as you can notice there's alot of powder on the table/floor once you are done. vacuum the room once you are finish. i know people do them in their room but it's not that good for health.

i'm not sure how superior Tamiya & Mr.Color spray cans are compared to Mr.DIY rm10 cans but for me 1/4 cost is worth the try.

a decent compressor + airbrush may cost you rm300-400, but how many cans of Tamiya can you buy with rm400? 10?
