Out Of Box...or build exactly like the one show on the box cover

actually people never handpaint clear paint/coat...people either ab it or straight buy topcoat...

clear paint also been use for those wet effect on diorama...this effect people only do it with handpaint...then only can get those nice wet effect on the surface...

i dont think its a good idea to handpaint clear paint for coating purposes you might end up ruin your whole kit.

and like fyire said you might also strip off the paint underneath when you handpaint...and not to mention the decal also.

he from cheras...try to deal with him where you easy to meet him
maybe he can arrange with you

you dont sand your kits if you dont intend to paint.
it will make things looks more ugly with all the sand scratch

^ 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

he just started painting...
dont confuse him till needed a pla plates here...and pla plates has nothing to do with make things easier to paint or anything...

just follow what fyire said about acrylic paint

sparmax brand...

compressor at RM450
ab gun around RM250-RM300

yes...its a mini compressor
kindda silent lo...since i work at night also...never wake anybody up before also

like people mention above...you can get it from venus art at petaling street...
penang i dunno lo

yes...my mine no need oil...just electric...lol
but get hot real fast and need to off it after 15 or 30min of straight use...let it rest a while.

so far after more than 2 years of using it...i only change my gun needle and also the gun to compressor hose

trust me the price still the same
as i always go there get my art supplies

even if it different also..wont be that much

lol zero geng joh now...
respect

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

true that gold easily to fade over time...even my bb musha start to dull already now...and that also been topcoat.
gold is a mafan color! not only its hard to get real yellowish gold color...but also hard to keep it from dulling overtime! it still can dull even if you put it anywhere...

before u suggest enamel...you better know what he wants...and also what kit he s talking about

giving guidance not just simply talk without knowing what are you talking about...

sd stargazer gold line there are not those normal thin line...the line are quite wide...not that u can simply drop enamel paint in there and the paint will flow inside it...

using the marker are good enough...but if you wanna try handbrush...then why not try metallic red or normal bright red...the red totally depends on you since its your idea...

lol...would you wrap your kits with plastic bag after all those hard work you done with it...better not build it at all if wanna keep it in the bag...hehe

there s almost impossible to find an air tight cabinet...air tight container got le...those for kuih raya one...lol

if MG then u need a big jar then...but acguy no metal parts also to keep it from air...

true what i reply
he said wrap in plastic bag...where got ppl do that as a dulling solution

seriously own paint gold or metallic colors will become dull overtime...no matter what type of topcoat u use...even my bb also dull already now the gold parts...but somehow my freedom gold still ok...guess time will tell how long it going to still shinning.

as what i remember when i open mg destiny...
all those white parts are not really pure white...there are more to white grey...yes...they are still consider as grey...light grey like that..i also dunno how to say about its color..but its not white la

and the white/grey parts are the same dont care normal or EB version...the only thing different from these two version are their inner frame...i mean their color

like i repeat so many times before...
it is NOT recommended to spray you kit while they still on the runner...

its easy job yes...but not only you waste your time do two times job but also you waste paint/spray cans...and hobby paints are not cheap here locally

spray on the runner means you leaving those cutting part expose and unpaint and means you need to repaint them again after you cut them off...sometimes you will risk got uneven color on that parts...

the best thing to do is to cut all them out first or assemble them first then only paint or spray them...

and you didnt just lay them on the floor when you wanna spray it...of course it all will fly away...as spray cans pressure are very strong

clip them all up then only spray them...hold them all up

if you want a good finish, a good painting, a good spraying, a good kit that you can proud of after you finish with it...then put some effort on it...

troublesome or mafan or hard or this and that is just an excuse...and might as well just straight build them instead of even think to paint them and end up a lousy finish job

remember paint, tools, and the kits itself are not cheap here in bolehland...so wanna paint...put some effort on it
