I wanna ask , if painting gundam which already spray with surfacer 1500 , is that use water base type or Mr hobby (paint + thinner) ? Which produce nicer color with brush? and i wanna make some weathering too ~ hope someone can teach me ~tq

Sorry is 1200, i painted it with Mr hobby (lacquer) with some normal thinner , but thinking get some water base color coz no need get thinner (expensive), possible produce same color effect??

Erm, not sure , currently painting sd destiny , wont make weathering yet . Coz next wan assemble sd dendorium so wan make some weathering , make it look more real. I saw make it look rust is nice , also like scratch.

Currently i have mr hobby (6 basic) color and gundam marker (6 basic), and 2 bottles of hobby color (water base) brown and red metal coz the boss said can use for weathering @_@ . Might buy more color but not sure go with which type for next.

So which will be the best or cheap combo , for using brush ?? to make the gundam more nice and pretty~

But compare both quality? , Coz acrylic need add thinner , but water base can direct paint and more smooth rite? Coz sometimes alot brush line , worst when use white color. How to encouter for some part need paint white color?

I mean when i paint white color to those model , it require alot layer, but when become more then the layer seem not smooth , anyway how to make it more balance and smooth??

Order from Xl-shop online~

Actually at KL where can buy those decal??

WTA , real touch gundam marker is tat use to make it look old ?? also for lining??

Cover the pain if u use hand painting . If AB dunno , coz i dont have 1.

but industrial paint make look not smooth at MR hobby spray can.

But wat i tried is using anchor , which is gold color. Maybe i dint sanding just spray upper layer of mr hobby metalic

Yeah, need applied surfacer . if not easy scratch . I got 3 gundam also using nippon pylox , but 1 dint just surfacer, the leg part can se scratch on it T_T

But i suggest nippon pylox. COz i got use 2 different type which is another Anchor brand, but quality abit lower than nippon pylox. Spray around 18 - 20cm away.

but when i use sanding paper sand the parts, after spray can see those scratch line. Maybe i use 1000 sand paper.

For my information, if dont wan use surfacer at least need sanding 1st. But u need experiment urself 1st, coz i also always apply surfacer, but sometimes lazy then dint applied it, like shield or gun, at least not those joint area.

I also thinking getting this , but it use recharge battery '' No sure can long lasting or not~

Nope , it is basic compressor + AB ~ better get custom set.

Here around RM180 - 190 but if u at Melaka then should be ok , or else if u got chance go to KL then get from here.

Just x0.033 - 0.040 price with yen . It consider reasonable price.

How much of quantity littak for each shipment? So 10% discount from yen??
