Oh ya... HLJ sells lots of kotobukiya parts. Can try order from them, its not really expensive since the shipping cost wont be high coz those things are light n small.

QUOTE(erh_teo @ Jun 26 2007, 07:11 PM) yeah.. thanks.. Hmm... TM does sell some parts but i don think they have kotobukiya. but how bout getting it locally? no chance at all? kinda turn me off if have to wait for d thing to arrive.. isk isk isk... So far i can't find any shop selling kotobukiya parts in klang valley. I'm looking for the thrusters too... Luckily my fren has some, so i just borrow them n recast. I think if u order from HLJ u can try shipping them by EMS. Should reach within a week, it would cost more though. Like wat i would say, money buys time  |

0.5mm comes in 4 pieces for around RM30. The thicker the lesser it'll be. A Gundam consist of many parts and they are in all different thickness. I have no idea about wat u're trying to do by matching plaplates with ur gundam. If u're not sure of the thickness u need, just buy the thinner ones n stack them up to make it thicker to suit ur needs.

bro, u sure it's 4years old ar? Bandai released MG freedom on July 2004, max also 3years old only ler.
BTW, if it's just a patch n u don wanna paint the whole thing, just buy 1 white gundam marker n paint that part only. This post has been edited by Kyoshiro: Jul 17 2007, 10:51 AM |

i was thinking to try it out on those extra plastics runners. I guess that would be the best way to test the paint. |

Those codes represents the colour of the markers.
If not mistaken, fine tip markers only come in 3 colours which is black(GM01), grey(GM02) and brown(GM03). There are 3 different tip types but i don think the codes represent them coz GM04 is gold marker with flat tip. |

SD gundams definitely need some colours. If u have airbrush then get some paint with the colours u need for ur SD gundams. Gundam markers are not really worth buying.

QUOTE(jlkueh @ Aug 12 2007, 12:56 PM) To all sifus here, need your help...... 1. yes, lines can be less obvious after mr.surfacer depends which 1 u use. (I would recommend you to use super glue or tamiya basic putty to cover those lines)I've done some HG gundam before, never bother to paint them, just cut out and snap em on  ! Now that I've gotten myself a MG Titan MK-II, would really like to build it nicely. I've been following the posts here, very informative stuff, in fact some are really too "deep" for me to understand, ok, here goes:1. Can I use the Mr. Surfacer to cover the gap lines between 2 parts snap together (called seams right?) 2. Can Mr Surfacer act as primer or base coat before painting? 3. I don't have airbrush, and model spray paint are hard to come by here in where i live. So if using industry spray, what should i take note of? 4. Will flat topcoat cover up the glossy feel of paint? Thanks. 2. It is a base coat. 3. Industry spray cans are not recommended as they tend melt ur gundam plastic. you still can use them but make sure u spray it at a distance. 4. Flat topcoat will cover up gloss effect. This post has been edited by Kyoshiro: Aug 12 2007, 01:09 PM |

industrial srpay cans can use, there are better ones on sale in hardware shops. but be sure to use it carefully. i've never tired using those b4 coz i'm afraid they wont turn out great as in having those bubbles coming out or tears drop.

industrial paint wont be as good as hobby paint. i was told that they are thicker n tends to cover up details so it's not recommended to use it on model kits.
I'm not sure which brand is suitable to paint model kits, but as far as i know most industrial paints melts plastics, this is told by this tauke of grafiti and one of my fren told me that he tried but it doesnt turn out great, he din mention bout the brand though. |
