Hobby HQ (city square), miniature hobby @ sec 14 p.j. or xl-shop?

if u can't get extra thin cement, u can try MEK (forgot the long chemical name) from ACE hardware.

beware.. it melts plastic

in case u dunno
extra thin thinner are just "thinned" cement, meaning more solvent less resin/gum..

MEK works just like the solvent in the cement..
a word of caution.. MEK is sold in min quantity of at least 250ml/500ml and is not cheap.. but volume wise it's cheaper than extra thin cement

I just opened up my MG Wing Zero and noticed that some the feathers of the wing is made of rubber. Can these feathers be painted/sprayed using Tamiya spray cans?

i err...dun think so
hm, better use the gundam marker eraser (something like thinner) or watever thingy applicable to the plastic. idk bout any other type of eraser...

guys, how long does it takes for copic 0.02 modeller lining marker to dry? coz i tried drawing sum lining on my kit, but the ink can be easily rub off even after a few hours...or isit tat i hv to apply topcoat to make it stay?
sori for noob question

Maybe u have to wait longer? One day for example. Gundam marker dry faster.

spray cans should work on the rubber parts of the wing. i sprayed mine with glossy pearl (not tamiya) spray can. it should look fine as long as you dont bend the rubber part after painting. here's mine to refer to:

ok. thanx for the info. btw, the decals which come with the model are dry transfer decals, rite? not the water ones?

just look at the base color of the decal! If it is Green then it is water one, if it is those see through plastics one then is dried transfer!
I dun have a Wing Gundam but i would like to have the W Gundam Feathers for modding!

asuk, can post more of ur gundam wing zero custom at the show off section please? thx

bro asuk, mind telling me wat kind of spray can u use which hv glossy pearl? izit Mr. Hobby?

i thought of buying it to use on unicorn next year

also can try pearl powder ...same same la..buy pearl powder abit expensive

actually the green one is actually the sticker type. Just peel and paste on your model, just like sticker lah. The ones with the blue bg are the water-slide decals. unfortunately they dont come together with MG kits


i used gundam color spray #04 (gunze sangyo). its actually semi gloss pearl. I got it from miniature hobby when it was still in midvalley. you can try section 14 PJ see if they still sell them

sigh, RM19 for pearl powder, n i dun even know how to use it effectively. tat's y i'm resosrting into a more easier way haha. now u know how lazy i am

oic.....hard to find gunze sangyo's Gundam brand of spray cans around here, only got those gundam paint bottle available at DC...

wa...section 14 PJ i dun even know wher izit

Section 14 is where the Digital Mall is

this might help u

dude, if it is white bg, then isit dry or water-slide?
got it wit my akatsuki..still havent applied the decals...

white is dry decal...

oic

thx alot! but it's too far from my home anyway...
