guys i need ure help . i got a couple of questions for u guys to answer as i am a noob.

1. what is puttying?ive read it so many times but dont quite get it!

2. how much for a full gundam paint set (brush,colour,all tools.etc)

3. where do i get it ?

5. what is the set called?

thanks in advance! planning to get a mg freedom gundam.
Estimated cost please? in kajang here sell Rm180 liao..

1. google for tutorial...

2. read the whole thread from page 1... got lots of info.. the is no full gundam paint set... you need to mix and match everything...

3. for airbrush... some forumer sell it. paint or other thing need to be scout around

MG Freedom is cheap... RM120 can get... Go buy at Berjaya Time Square... Or Endah Parade

There is no easy way for modeling...

true true i agree with him ^.^ if you want make the best out the best finishing u need to be creative and put your soul in it so cost is depend how much u want to put your effort and creative mind on it

wow, i just found out that the nail cutex can be served as a thinner too lol

what sd is in ure avatar? pretty neat ;D

n thx for d answers ;D

this is not the way to answer...its not helping him at all...
this is the thread for helping those who newbie in modelling kit stuff...

1. puttying is to cover surfaces...like seam lines and small holes...sometimes also can be use to make a rough surface effect
2. there is not gundam set paint sell locally...if get it online around rm50-70 like that. per bottle is rm6 for mr.hobby and rm14 for tamiya. spray cans usually around rm30++, brush can use those branded one like tamiya or those normal one sell in popular...some tools also can get from normal hardware shop...unless you are very serious about modelling...then get those tamiya brand one...
3. paint and tools can get from time machine 7th floor at time square(please check the toy shop list thread for complete list of what toy shop selling what). tamiya paint get get from some toycity or tamiya underground at 1 utama
4. actually u jump straight to no.5 with no no.4 - paint been called well...err..paint lo...and brush is called err...brush lo. then if set then its called...err paint set lo

new year new mood...lol
now u guys make me OT

actually its correct...start slowly...
if you wanna know all the things and wanna get expert level fast or short way...you end up didnt learn anything at all...

the best way is to ask how to do then try or practice it yourself first...that way u know what you are doing and know what else need to be ask...
most of newbie usually just ask ask ask everything then never try at all...end up just get confuse and ask the same thing again and again...

and also since kit are so expensive and not to mention the paint also...most of newbie also scared to try, scared to ruin their expensive kit...
usually you can fix it back after you ruin it...especially if you just ruin it with a paint...

this is my BEST friend for modeling painting. i only use this and the paint mix to color the whole gundam

there's Mr. Hobby Thinner (Enamels) which available with 50ml, 110ml, 250ml, 400ml.


while the thinner showed by chriswoo available with 40ml.
there's oso Mr. Leveling thinner available with 110ml.
excellent for spray (airbrush) applicators.
mix into mr. color paint with 1:1 or 1:2 ratio will improves coat leveling n increases shine.

tis is Aqueous Color thinner, for thinning all water soluble thinner. available with 110ml.

while tis, Mr. Paint remover, removes enamel paint effectively without damaging the surface. available with 110ml.

Aqueous Color thinner and Mr. Paint remover very hard to find in malaysia.

can i mix the paint wif this product?
Mr.Hobby - Hobby Color Thinner 110ml

yeah, and i just figured out that the nail cutex can also be served as a paint remover i'm quite slow on that, haha

oo yea, the SD's gp03 dendrobium
here's the link to it ------------> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/412850/+560

for handpaint maybe yes...for airbrush..its better to use leveling thinner

actually this thinner are not for enamels...this is the most basic thinner from mr.hobby...
but people always use it with oil base paint

not really...you can always find stock of these two items at TM...
TM bring most of mr.hobby thinner
if they dont have you can ask them order

jus a question, the levelling thinner is it really can enhance alot of the airbrushed surface?

i never try b4

i mean i still able to achieve smooth surface with careful thinning and airbrushing.. jus thinking will the levelling thinner be able to enhance the finishing further..?

actually leveling act like a retarder also...
it slow down the drying process and also less spider webbing...
