ooo..thx for telling..
im wondering..air brush really need a compressor to work it out??is there any other thing beside compressor??..coz i wanna try it out 1st..

sorry for question-ing alot..newbie here >.<

Yeah, There is many way beside compressor. The most cost effective way is setup the AB with a hose and use your mouth to blow. Once you have experience it, you can upgrade to real compressor.

ok..i will remember that..i already noted tht down..thx ozak..
besides that, any other more?

yes, seriously it works... but ur work will be shit..... coz wat u try to do is not spray but instead plats of paints come out, get wat i mean?
it's like u're blowing water out from a straw....

LAWL!!! knew it...if it really can make good work by just spraying then nobody would buy compressor in the first place

Maybe you can paint it to black Exia?

like this ?

dude.. why not try it like zaku colour or bumble bee..

or if you like gold or chrome..

hmmm, actually thats what it would more or less look like if its tamama custom lo...all the blue areas become black, red areas become silver, and yellow areas become white...kekeke, but i like the one u did too xDD imagine it with red eyes instead of green, so evil looking XDDDD



wow! gold or chrome...i think i would prefer chrome xDD how do i get the chrome color woh? as in really chrome type, like car rims lidat xDD silver paint alone wont get that kind of effect IMO.

try finding a marker like this one..


here is one example

kekekeke....actually that marker i borrow from boltguard before...dun dare use too much, paiseh leh...hmmm ive never seen it beeing sold in Time Square or The Curve tho (the two places i usually search)

XL got sell leh...as in at their online store, real store i dunno.

Whatever in their online store, their Ampang HQ got~ In contrary, sometimes item that was sold out in their online store, you can find it in their branch stores

bro at times square got la.. at grafitti.. also at af hobby got(ampang).. price rm 15 or 16.. depends.. but i think.. Glitz83 sell that chrome marker..
but this item is selling fast.. haha..

Actually, revell got this pressure gas can which suitable for starter. Not sure it fit with other AB or not.



I saw this gas can in Jusco before, but not sure they still retail it or not. It cheaper than compressor, but like it'll use up of pressure.

you should try to own exia.. make it ur own.. customize n personalize..

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!

Dear LW gunpla fans/sifus, I'm here to seek advices

Aegis NG 1/144
I need comments to help me improve!



This is my first try on using top coat. The thing is, after I applied topcoat, the paint/ink can still be rubbed off >< then I applied another layer, the result is abit better, but paint/ink can still be rubbed. If u look closely u can see my fingerprints. FYI, i'm only using GM01 fine line marker cos i have limited resource.

I'm guessing I applied insufficient topcoat or I didn't wait long enuf for it to fully dry. wat do u guys think? I watched at gunpla tut and it said topcoat will be dried like for an hour only...but I let it dried for the whole afternoon so I'm guessing I applied insufficient topcoat. please correct me if i'm wrong.

btw, wat i did is shading or weathering? i'm confuse wif those two

topcoat protect ur paint not say cover alr then ur paint/ink cant be rub off la..

wat i see is THICK panel lining... it's neither shading or weathering..

OIC.......thx z3r0717

when applying topcoat, just a single press on the button can is enuf for a surface of a part ?
