I was looking for those too but none of the stores I went to has black which is a little odd.... x.x
Do you know of any other stores that carries those too?

if u mean nippon pylox.. i only know 2 places arnd my area.. which is Home-Fix@1U and a hardware shop at centrepoint(opposite KBU college).
EDIT: centrepoint usually has all the colors.. go there better.. i went 1u twice looking for black, no stock

i oso kno this small shop at suntex or conaught... XD... i forgot... but those are for ppl hu stay near there lar... if not u wanna drive go to a small shop better drive go to big shop XD.

I see, I'll take a look there when I have the time, thanks. BTW, do you know of a good method I can use to draw red panel lines on a black surface? I'm working on a custom colored gunpla and since most of the parts will be black, I'm using red as the color for panel lines in black areas and I want it to be clear and not be camouflaged by the black background.

hmm.. maybe u could try enamel lining which is suitable for ur situation i think

Since I've never used anything besides acrylic until now, I'm just curious if enamel will negatively affect lacquer.

nope... only lacquer and acrylic cant mix together.. enamel is after lacquer or acrylic so tat's y is very suitable for panel lining.

Looks like I have to go get more brushes as well, yay more work added.......

I will like to ask something... I have a MG gundam wing ver.ka and it is my 1st MG... One of my friend who is also a gundam freak told me that the clear decal stickers of all the MG will turn yellowish after few months resulting in yellow spots appear all over the model kit ... Is this true?

Is there any ways to overcome this?

some might will... We have topcoat to cover that... My kit decal still okay... i have never apply any topcoat on some of it. but i keep it in well close place.

wah where ur fren place his models? Expos under the sun? If so even ur model kit without any paint (and of course white color parts) will become yellowish! U can used Top Coat or even better UV protect Top Coat for ur kit to prevent it so!

enamel paint and enamel thinner wont harm/remove lacquer paint
so it safe

but enamel do harm ABS type of plastic...use to much on it will make the plastic thin and crispy
you know la after crispy what happen

lol...i just use one brush only for all type of paints
get those expensive one...then you can save buying so many brush

yes...and if you are unlucky...it turn yellow less than a month
heavy or direct expose to sun also will make the decal faster yellow

Vince, what type of brush good lol... from tamiya ones?

expensive one tamiya lo
long last abit...get those fine one
they stay fine for sometimes also

i saw at TM got brush from japan.. isit good?

go to xl...
they sell those tamiya fine brush for rm14
that one very good

those are lousy brush with sky high price! Buy those Faber Castle super fine brush.....those are also really good!

Hi guys. Here's my first attempt on painting some dirt and doing some rusty effects, just started last weekend and able to completed it by last night.. I give myself a rate 5/10, not that happy with the outcome..

I'll put up a bigger pic if u guys wanna look at the details..

hey guys,

i'm buying my first paint today. is mr hobby a good one for transformers plastic?

afraid it will easily chipped, since gonna transform right. any experience on the best paint? tamiya or mr hobby (since i dont see any other brands)

Mr Color is the best for plastic! It wont chipped off easily but u would need to wash ur TF with some detergent first!
