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!

topcoat just cover the whole thing... no nid part by part.. waste topcoat only...
topcoat if u not enuff can apply more but max is 2-3 layers only....

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!

LOL ozak...
so anyone working on thier new gundam kits??

kouichi since u r new to this forum, u can chat in the tiamkopihobby thread! Becoz our mod strictly not allow us to chat in the model kit painting and modding thread becoz this is for ppl with question on building one! Becoz they are a lot of enemy of Gundam out there they tend to report to the mod with the smallest problem making the mod not to not take action to warn u ppl!
So come over to join the rest in the tiamkopihobby thread! And all the others newbie tat wish to ask a lot of question or chat do come also!

To apply water slide decals, i just soak in water, let the decl come off, then apply to my kit, then dry it. correct?

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!

Need suggestion from you guys
If I don't spray my gundam model, is it recommend to apply cement to stick and doing flat part ?

wat do u mean by stick and doing flat part? I dun really understand?

correct.... but u could apply setter or softener also.... afta apply decal, i apply the setter on top and the liquid goes under the decal and slowly melts it, the decal now looks like painted on it.

same here...
wat do u mean by flat part?

guys.. i have a question

1. does the gundam model need to do priming b4 paint? if i didnt prime.. will the paint chip off?

2. which paint is best? water based or oil based..

3. which thinner is need to be used? i find those thinner from hobby shop is
expensive , what u guys normally use?

sorry cos askin lotsa question guys... i just wana start learn AB

1. yes, need to prime or the paint will chip off easily

2. there is no the best paint, depends on skills & needs

3. we are using the thinners from hobby shop...

okie... so the primer isit okie to use comes in bottle? cos the can 1 quite expensive also.

ya, but must mix with thinner before use

bottle one i assume you got ab to use with rite?

i dont expect you mix with thinner then handpaint the primer on you kit

nope.. gonna airbrush the kit
