I think first u tried to used the search button below to find the answer first or may be browse through some of the pinned topic up (the tutorial one) or maybe see back a few pages! I understand the reason why Mr Mod tat mad becoz some of the question has at least been answer for more than 10 times!

har u top coat then u polish? Why not polish then top coat?

but clear topcoat is no warna punya woh....

so i get it now! After top coat then polish it!
Nvr used such stuff before so really have no idea!

Sand paper has it own purpose! Especially used on uneven parts, nips point and bla bla bla! I would used them to send the whole kit just to cre8 the effect of war!

The problem with clossing the gap between 2 separate kits right? let me give u some pic:




I did have an article in my blog talking about it!
http://sotbest.blogspot.com/2007/10/gundam-head-mod.html

scratch it with u hobby knife dun sand it first!

walao who want to built thruster with pla plate? Tat is madness!
Better go buy one then trying to make thruster! Waste of time onli

To be honest if they are those ready made details plastic (usually made by Kotobukiya) just make used of them, it safe u all the problem, for thruster i would it is really difficult and waste a lot of plastic just to bend the darn thing, really hard to bend!
Another problem is cutting those plastic arent as easy as u think, just to make 2 of the plastic in the same shape is really difficult (difficulty increass while ur pla-plate thickness increase)

hot bending is one of the most headache stuff the thickness of the plastic may be affected if u did not apply ur force right.
U either drill holes according to the shapes then cut making it easier to cut the shape, or cut a bigger size then ur original plan and used sand paper to adjust the size, last way buy those cutting board that can cut shape on flat wood or plastic to cut ur pla-plate (and this u need to spend money more)

no......i did go and watch those ppl in Zero G talk about it but they also have similar problem.....so either u have some factory used bending plastic machine or anything like tat, u wont be able to make perfect bended plastic.....

yup single action so waste of AIR but in the same time since ur Compressor also does not come with Air Tank and will generate continuously one, u might as well stick with tat style of airbrushing.......just remember to shutdown ur compressor every 20-30minutes incase ur compressor overheat and burn!

wow tat one nice how much is it? maybe i should add another AB to my compressor now.

If just clean the guns and u can chage the color that is really convenient later u want to change back color just pull the one out and change it back?
I really want to know how much is it i want to buy one like tat one!

friend how much is ur affordable? U kaya raya person! 1k or 2k?

Dun need to worry about his budget, he rich person so i would recommend him those 1k compressor, tat come with moisture trap, air tank, auto cut-in cut out control, really silent compressor!

no need to be over 1k, u just go look for the one tat most suitable to ur budget!

Deng lah u memang kaya raya one mah! I am using a 1k compressor, the feel really different one, first it is so quiet u can AB in the night without kacau others!
Besides tat it has Airtank better than u need to buy a separate Air-tank for ur compressor, and it can go like 24 hours non-stop, unlike those cheap one sekejap it overheats and need to shut down!

300-400 cheapest can find at Petaling Street Venus Art shop or u can also try the Toycity and nanyang there also! If still want to have more choice order with AF Hobby, or maybe a forumer here (forgot the name liao)!
Tamiya AB also depends on the price one! Cheap no good, expensive sure good!

if u r lazy type of ppl recommend u to visit Dannychoo.com one he got lazy ppl tutorial on how to build gunpla (result also will be lazy type loh), or u can try www.fichtenfoo.com for some tutorial!

ehhhh ur picture i cant see anything frm tat picture!!!

If continuous used u will suffer loss of pressure making ur paint become rougher and sprays uneven!
Another choices tat is cheap and easy available is using our cooking gas tank! it is cheap but dangerous to use!
