I see. 12 inch eh... tat kinda waste... but nvm, learned my lesson this time.

guys..u know bout this?

hey guys,

Got a question. How do you actually remove the decals ?

I plan to refurbish ( ) my Freedom Gundam. Going to get some extra decals and re-do it again, cause that was my first MG and I pretty much a noob at it. Most of the decals are all falling apart.

Can someone please advise the best course of action.

thanks

abang...u paint it thick la...must remeber that the paint itself contain thinner as well, when u paint it too think, the thinner will "thin" the color underneath it.

hav to spray it in thin layer....

12 inch is just a rough guide lar.. apply your normal paint on a few scrap pieces of plastic, then experiment with the top coat on those pieces first. Start off with 12 inches, then slowly adjust closer or further on those scrap plastic until you find the distance that works best for you. Also, the longer u use the same spray can, the more the pressure will reduce, so you'll need to compensate for that too later, especially when the can is finishing

um guys, how do you get paint off the surface?
acidentally got dark red on a white surface, so cannot cover up i guess

I used hobby thinner and a tissue to wipe them off! It works for me!

i thought thinner will dissolve the plastic?
ok will try later. very hard to spray 2 colours on a same surface for a newb like me.

he meant thinner for hobby 1, for from industrial

well NG version still need to paint if u want 100% accurate color other than tat is just look like a platic toy color other then that i recommend u buy the model with golden letter 'MG' becox it won't need to color and give u the satifaction u need after builded ^.^

MG no need to paint unlike HG does?

yup no need at all unless u want custom color of couse but other than tat it OOB that mean u see wat u get at the box picture

now I know most of the Gundam collect why choose MG over HG

HAHA

Ya, MG is lots better than HG, not only in details on the outside, but the inside too!!!

But higher in price.........

try not to buy from jusco except when sale .. their price is way too high for gundam kit.. you can buy from toys shop like graffiti at times square or u can buy from lyn garage sale.. there are some sellers who sell gundam kit cheaper than jusco.. such as edisson and his agents..

i think there some parts on MG still need to paint.
IMHO only la...

well just a little 1 like pilot and base stand nia other than tat i think no need already for sure unless u want repaint everything of cause but otherwise is 100% no need paint and look very nice after u do panel lining

You still need to paint the whole MG if you want it to look like the one shown on the MG box

^ true...fully painted if you want to look exactly like the one on the box...not only that...but also to cover all the seam lines.

well....if you can go with the plastic feel of your kit...then its ok not to paint at all...even with flat topcoat without any paint...it still feel toyish plastic

waa relax r..he stil new..heh
me oso havent learn paint..
neway handpaint sould be the best start yea?
unless u can buy AB
