the only problem with hand painting is brush stroke might be visible for larger area. for smaller parts, hand painting still easier than AB

agree about some brush stroke might be visible but can fine it again if carefuly stroke just like mine ^.^

well the paint got buble is because of too much tinner on it u need some sucker tinner massure tools for it to get more nicer and smooth paint

well i bought tamiya mixing color tool the at BTM at TM which is a bit expensive (can't find any other places except u buy AB come with it)but worth it after it save ur time and ur tinner when using.

oh ya 1 thing i like to ask is where can i buy the BRUSH Cleaner Bottle

something like this

http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcart/cgi/...tem_num=GUZGT35

any idea where to get it? my brush going spoil soon if i just use tinner to clean it

actually, those compressors just mainly shoot out air, so dun need to worry about chemicals. Furthermore, even if its one of those in the car workshops, its not really that much of a problem lar.. U should be able to adjust the pressure of the air coming out. and if u need to fine tune somemore, then just attach a smaller pressure gauge somewhere in the middle before the air feed reaches your AB.

oo tat nice for assuring XD got sifu AB then nice to get advice from him ^.^

O.o

lesson number 1) don't use tissue to wipe off the paint it may get worst so to recover tat problem use tinner and brush ^.^

lesson number 2) Maker is use to paint detail parts and small object and it not made to paint the big parts especially thing wider than 1 or 2 inc object u may get the feeling to see all ur paint stroke from the maker pen.

lesson number 3) Always paint use hand brush or AB with a mile tinner or simaliry with tat other than tat depend on your skill.

lesson number 4) repeat leasson 1 to 3 ^.^ and u are doing good

hey Chris,

thanks a lot mate. Just wondering as well, would your recommend I apply the Top Coat afte I recover my problem.

Like you said in lesson number 2, I realised there are lot of paint strokes..it looks really ugly. I might need to repaint the DRAGOON WINGS again.

You reckon I should apply the top coat after that?

cheers buddy.
