but i prefer to spray over the nip marks so that it wont look so obvious that something "small" comes out out of every part everywhere
anyway, tell me, what's the use of a neo soil mask? thanks 

hmm.. i have a problem with the hobby knife rusting easily
do you guys grease it often to keep off the rust?

Hi guys, recently i bought of Neon Evangelion kits, and completely built it, but there is somekinda "stickers" that cant be use whatever technic i try, bcoz of the manual is japannese it wouldnt be much help either, i even tear it up n no way its a sticker, i also "rub-at-the-back" of the paper also failed. so anyone around here know how to do it? its kinda cool n a must for the complete kit.
its not expired are they?, bcoz its stated in the box it was made in 1996
and what the most cost effective to remove those tiny crack mark on the kits joints, without using paints

Kit name: Neon Genesis Evangelion 1/100 LM HG 02 EVA-02

current condition:

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

but there is a sanding technique tat does not need any painting rite?

wanna know, how do u spray coating correctly? and what kind of coating is better for gundam?

sanding is to even out a surface.
from rough to smooth, ur choice of smoothness is depend on the grade of sandpaper used.
if u wan very rough surface, anything below 300-400, rough surface (below 600), smooth surface but not shinny (1000-1500).

if u wanna go for shine and gloss surface, u'll need extra fine sandpaper (12,000 and above), or nail polishing stick
extra gloss will need polishing compound and waxing already lor

unless u r doing automobiles kit and the canopy for airplanes.. no need to sand after painting d mah
unless ur paint job screw up with small crack, pimples or orange peel (all those un-smooth painting surface)

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?

my wip, lazy to take photos.


@300078: i use da tamiya x-20 thinner.

zippo fluid or turpentine. zippo fluid is faster drying, while turpentine dries slowly. so adjust accordingly depending on if u need your mix to dry quickly or slowly

i always see when people tend to change from color A to color B,
their gundams are mostly covered in white.

are those work of Putty?
i see xl-shop sells 2 kinds of putty, one is toothpaste like, and another one look like icecream stick.
can anyone explain how this thing works?

wad does mr. cement do?

Many thanx.

primer, where can i get those?
what about those people who modify their gundam with add parts and so on?
what material they use?
