modelling is something we normally dealt with during our free time and leisure..

if u already busy with work, of course no time learning la.. let alone modelling and painting..

anyway.. the link ozak posted has only 1 page

to tell the truth.. it's only for refereshments.. coz seriously.. there's no one and no such thing as read once understands all..
u have to keep learning and doing it to master ur skills..

if u consider the learning process of painting and lining a tiring job and too troublesome to learn.. my advice is don't do it as it will really doomed ur kit.
some people just flat coat (using a flat topcoatfr Gunze) it and doing lining with gundam markers (at the tutorial link).. it's already looking very nice

actually superglue is abit harder than plastic so it's much more harder to sand after u glue the plastics..
with cement.. not much of this sanding issue..
but superglue is much cheaper

usually ppl use rough to sand out the extra bits away then fine one to smoothen the surface.

Yes you can. I've been using normal thinner from Ace's hardware with my airbrush all these time, both for thinning the paint, and also for cleaning the airbrush.

For acrylic paint, they can stick to the plastic actually, its not until that fragile, just that at the spots where u get parts rubbing against one another, that's where u can expect the paint to chip. However if you're to use a primer, then it wont rub off as badly.

Is it viable to use Gunze's Thinner to thin paints, then use industrial thinner to wash the airbrush ?  More cost effective.    Just asking...  i wanna get an airbrush soon.

Oh yea one more thing...  you guys use gas mask or u guys spray outdoors ?  Ima thinking of buying a mask... cuz i cant stand the fumes even with hand painting... 

This will depend on how strong the thinner is. That's also why I've stuck with the thinner from Ace's Hardware, as I know how it behaves by now, and what to avoid with it.

If you wanna try the thinner from your father's factory, then I suggest that you test it out on a piece of scrap plastic first.
- put a piece of scrap plastic into a small bowl of the thinner, poke it abouts and so forth, and observe how quickly or slowly the plastic dissolves
- the do some test spraying and see what kinda results u get

actually 1st step is called pre-assemble(testing snap fit, something like tat)
u dun nid to cement everything yet depends on the kit.. let's say a HG or NG kit, u nid to paint the inside 1st only the armor rite since got no body frame so if u cement d then susah..
step 4 wrong.. u do panel lining AFTER u paint/AB..
step 6 can skip actually if u wan to save topcoat, it's not compulsory to spray 2 times.. i only do tat on certain kits..

nope.. i dun mean the body frame(skeleton) 1st, when ppl pre-assemble, it's the whole thing...
topcoat wun hide seam lines la..

Deng... Today continued with my WIP for Wing 0, AB gold. Damn difficult to AB gold colour la! But was still able to do it la. First layer can see nothing. Can only see the gold shine at 5th layer O_o
