Maybe u applied too thick the GM01 and cause the ink to not stick properly on to the model kit itself so when u add on the topcoat it just cover on to ur ink but becoz the ink not strong enough it can still get rub off easily!

QUOTE(ozak @ May 12 2008, 07:49 PM) Got another idea. Curi your father car spare tyre and pump it till max pressure. Regulate the pressure and you can use very longtime. Makesure you pump back the air and put back the tyre to the car. Kena scold don't blame me. This one really very good one! But u would need to mod the connection part a bit! Then super cheap compressor!  |

QUOTE(pcomet @ May 13 2008, 09:16 AM) I wonder my father mechanical shop those compressor use to pump motobike tyre can work ? the air blow quite high. can! All compressor can used one, but u need to buy certain stuff to control the air flow, and u also need to have a water trap and fuel trap becoz industry compressor will sometimes pump compressor oil along the air!

QUOTE(vincent09 @ May 14 2008, 07:48 PM) Haha sorry z3r0717 & 0300078 about the flat part, u can but tat doing so will leave scratches, another smart way to cover up is to sand the whole model kit add some weathering effect and a flat top coat!Is it recommanded to apply cement stick those modeling and sand it to smooth without AB or spray ? Walah u get a really cool mecha! Added on May 14, 2008, 9:13 pmbest is u used those grade 1000 and above sand paper to do the job! This post has been edited by 300078: May 14 2008, 09:13 PM |

QUOTE(rayloke @ May 15 2008, 01:11 PM) Actually Dengeki Hobby showed a few times already, with photos. Together with cement and top coat, you can almost make the seamline invisible. Use different sand paper, like 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 2000. scratches on the surface also will be very fine, then you use top coat to further cover them up. yup i did this style before but it really used a lot of time! More than AB!Then as 300078 said, do weathering effect to further distract viewers' attention from realising sand scracthes and such. Actually it can be done really nicely, but is not easy job. Imagine you can achieve kits that appeared in magazine evenwithout the use of AB. For benchmark, usually i think the time u use for weathering is around 3 times longer than the time u use to snap fit. |

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ May 15 2008, 04:29 PM) wat i worry is after the layer dried, the layer will stick the knee and the leg parts together... From my experience none of this happen before! Becoz u aint stacking 2 parts together u just spray on top of them all! it wont stick one + the flat top coat dries very fast one! |

Basically if ur AB is really fine one (assume 0.5 and above) those 1000 above surfacer will give u smooth surface already!
