Wanna ask, what is the market like for gunpla commissions and painted kits? I don't mean to earn money from it but I like to assemble and paint, then I don't have enough space to keep all so if can sell it would be nice.

So basic plan is to paint it myself, no real customization work most of the times but masked for color apps and only using stickers for eyes, then sell for original kit price + maybe 20% extra cost.

Most I deal with are HG if that is relevant, but MG from time to time.

Few years back, when I check with Red Comet in Penang, I was quoted rm300 for an MG Wing Zero Custom complexity. If you go for Sazabi Ver KA, it can reach more than rm500. Considering the skills that these guys have based on their warhammer figures, I don't doubt the price because you can ask them to colour the kit however you would like it.

I would think that there are some folks that have money to accumulate a lot of backlogs but no time to build them in their lifetime. So, they commission it out.

your + 20% extra costs won't be able to make up for the cost of the paints, decals and time. But, if what you wanted is the joy of building such kits before selling them off, then it is up to you smile.gif

Attached was my first commission job. I just started taking commission last year. I might stop once I completed my fifth commission due to work tongue.gif

Nonetheless, you can view my FB public albums.

Sigh my air compressor start leaking air from inside motor when running...might need to plan for worst now. Any recommended good air compressor within 1k budget? Can I use those industrial one like this?

Personally, unless your airbrushing area is isolated, I wouldn't recommend industrial grade compressor. They tend to be noisy. Especially if you plan to airbrush during the night smile.gif

Within 1k, can probably get something like this https://www.crux.com.my/sparmax-en/air-comp...-with-2-5l-tank
I bought the same one from red comet in prangin mall, penang. So far, quite happy with it. (It was an upgrade from my previous no tank compressor smile.gif )

It has output ports for 2 (or 3) air brush. Enclosed in a 'case' with handle.
