tamiya pla plates is around RM30 most of the place.
how many pieces you need and how thick the plate is are totally depends on you...people use this for modding..modding means to do something that you want the kit to be..so it really depends on you what you want

rm 30 for ne piece isit?

and how thick is a gundam's plastic coz i want it to match with my gundam...lolx.

0.5mm comes in 4 pieces for around RM30. The thicker the lesser it'll be. A Gundam consist of many parts and they are in all different thickness. I have no idea about wat u're trying to do by matching plaplates with ur gundam. If u're not sure of the thickness u need, just buy the thinner ones n stack them up to make it thicker to suit ur needs.

Apology for confusion

It's actually to restore paintjob to a PS2 console unit (special edition)
The housing has faded area and scratches.

bought mg Anavel Gato's Gelgoog today
can anyone tell me which mehtod is more suitable? or rather, more neat & clean. .

1. spray the runners with straight gundam coulour spray
or
2. spray mr surfacer first, wait till dry, then use gundam colour spray

^ if you sand then use surfacer first and take all off from the runner...

want clean and neat job is better to take them all off the runner and then only spray.

it is recommend that you leave the surfacer almost a day or half a day before you continue with other steps..

Can anyone share on those masking technique?
Currently I am spraying on a fake SD strike, but is kinda of hard when dealing with masking.......
Can I use those normal masking tape instead of those branded Tamiya (is way too expensive for me)?
And how u guys do when dealing with small area spraying?
Thanks.

I cheat by getting blue tack from Ace hardware. Its those plasticine like things that you use to hold up posters. Using normal masking tape is ok, tamiya masking tape is really just a rip off imo.

im updating the first page with tools that u need to build your gunpla or model along with their pictures...

but it still havent completely done yet...

Can sum0ne here tell me how t0 make perfect lining? any url??
h0w t0 erase the c0m0t one lining arr??

use eraser if you use oil base lining pen(blue color body)..
this you no need any website to see how it done...lining can be rub off using those normal eraser...

using water base lining pen(black color body) are more easier as it can be taken off by just using cotton buts

yup,blue color body..its GM01 (200)..

huh?? never find black color body b4..is it 4 black lining??

yes...its a water base type..hard to find that one locally

Hi guys, I noticed my 1/100 MG freedom got a yellowish patch on the arm part. If I don't wanna paint the whole thing, can i just use white markers to just paint up that piece? It doesnt look like the plastic aging whole piece turn yellow, just one patch. Any ideas to clean that up?

Urs is bandai or bendi??

if u try to sand it.. can remove or not?

Bandai la bro, that was my first MG. 4 years old already lerr. Eventhough just snap built, but I like it very much. I think when display at home got people with oily hands keep go and touch ...After sand, doesnt it make that part like kena scratch off?

I did think of touching up that fella, and add some lining. But not too sure bout painting the thing, coz I haven't painted one before.

Maybe I should try repaint all those white parts?

oops.. sori loh..

didn't occur to me that bandai's plastic oso got this problem.. haizz...

if u use sand paper coarser than 1500#, then of course will calar lah..

if u plan to paint it then don sand loh..
if u don plan to paint it, then try sanding wt 1500# sandpaper.. further rub wt toothpaste.. will not be that obvious on the scratches..

I see. Probably my freedom too old already . Maybe time to get a new one of the same model this time dun allow anyone to touch. Haha. Probably I will try painting it, since its my fav, wanna make it look good.

bro, u sure it's 4years old ar? Bandai released MG freedom on July 2004, max also 3years old only ler.
BTW, if it's just a patch n u don wanna paint the whole thing, just buy 1 white gundam marker n paint that part only.

LOL 3 I guess, cant remember clearly, just know that i bought it in my 2nd year, now final yr d.

But if marker , I think the texture won't be that nice already, since its noob hands doing the job.
