dun worry everyone will had their virgin build. Once you start it, you just cant stop building more.

if that part doesnt move just use super glue to make it permanent lor..

yea, so true.... tat's the modellers way.. lolz

on question...i build sme gundams last yr and this yr... i got 2 mg... if i want to remove the tatoo like decals... thn put it back after painting can?

i ask in advance but i aint really painting it arnd this yr ... have to wait aftr pmr.

i duno about this but i think if u take out the decals, it wun be sticky anymore.. therefore it is alwiz best to do everything then decals then topcoat.

Ya. That's true.. Then i notice also 1/100 crossboce fc is apparently smaller than those normal MGs. Why is that?...

water and dry transfer decal once it stick it stick...its impossible to remove then stick it back.

lol....my poor strike, scratches everywhere.
when i tried to shave, it introduced even more scratches. hate the darker parts where it leaves white marks. Still hunting ofr the sanding stick. hehe...any sifu mind to show their cut marks? i mean those parts that you cut from the runner before and after pics? no painting ones. only cut, shave and sand. just wanna examine. hehe...thanks.

what's a sanding stick actually... heard people talking about it everywhere in this thread.. will consider using one too if it's that useful..

a sanding stick is well, a stick used for sanding

not usually used for models, so you're not likely to find them in hardware or model supply shops. Rather, its something used for nail manicure purposes. something like this: http://www.esthersnc.com/nail-file.html

U can find them at phamarcies, or those shops that does beauty care supplies

if you compare crossbone fc and mg sf...sure sf is taller cause in real scale,sf is 21m and crossbone fc is only 18-19 m

Here u are...
Sry mod, this might be OT a bit. hehe

hae you try using 800gridsand paper and deep it in water...then sand...reduce scratches...

try to use TAMIYA FINE COMPOUND it will repair most of it unless u use the 100 grade below which u need u putty to cover it liao

gundam marker tips... erm got any tips of removing the smudges or when you didn't do e panel line nicely.. then sometimes when you remove your pen out you'd leave a spot on e corner of e panel... i've been seeing some panel lines done to perfection, how to do that?

Just rub it with ur rubber or eraser!

I just rub it with cotton bud on the spot.... usually it comes out...

Hei issit recommended to get all in one compressor wif air brush set such as from tamiya?

give some comment pls

Its battery powered, so I wont suggest getting it. The need to keep recharging is going to really get on your nerves in a while.

U can probly make do with an el cheapo airbrush to get started off, then get a better one later on, but for the compressor, its advisable to get a decent one at the start.
