yup.. like shin said..
1) try to "rendam" in warm water for around 30-60sec..
2) make sure shake well b4 soaking it in the warm water..

also.. its not "rendam" the whole bottle.. just half bottle should be ok..

mmm.. it depends on what type of joint r u talking about..
usually for ball joint..
i just apply around 1-2 layers of super glue..
and its ok already...
other type of joint.. depend on how it works/look like..
some may require putty.. and some may not..
and most painted/sprayed/air brushed gundam wont have this problem..
bcoz the paint will tighten the joint..

if u spray then only apply surfacer.. then how is it going to look like...

yup.. like what shin said.. if u put on the ground.. maybe u'll miss certain part...

and bout the sate stick.. u can use either blu-tack to stick the part to the stick...
or use croc-clip to hold the part on the sate stick..

i think its possible to achieve it.. but it will be very2 hard as handpaint will leave brush strokes...
if can eliminate the brush strokes.. then it will be ok...
also not to forget.. the chrome color itself is hard to handle..
to reduce the hassle that's why ppl use either AB or spray can...
