any tips how u guys bring back to malaysia, i do notice some box is huge. is it PG is the highest grade or got exclusive grade? lets say for budget rm3k
*
I'm not sure if any PG exclusive kits but there's plently exclusive for RG and HG, those are acceptable size that you can put into luggage. Won't suggest buy any regular release like carpathia mention that you can also found here unless you know it is price a lot different. I bought PG kits before and I can tell you it is not worth the hassle to carry it during travel better you should just enjoy your trip.

i agree with you, juz the box itself look quite a burden as i travel solo, if difference only RM200-300. i will just order from Malaysia.
Gonna go there to get poison then gonna check stock and order from Malaysia.

First time trying
Should I try it with China brand gundam 🤔

Go buy plastic spoon and practice first. Clean the parts with dishwasher detergent and rinse dry it for china brand gundam before airbrush it. biggrin.gif

Thinner ratio 1 paint : 2 thinner

I feel u bro sweat.gif .. my solution is i do at night/early morning (after 12am) after both my sons sleep.. this consider a ME time for me.. but need to sacrifice sleeping hour  sweat.gif

as i still enjoy this hobby so much and need to be a good dad, definitely need to sacrifice..

i do on weekend mostly, current have some idea to do custom project.. so the progress is very slow, i spent around 2-3 hours than go to sleep..
*
Having able to do 1-2 hours daily consider super luxury time for most of us cry.gif

When I was young with lot's of time => No money to buy
When I get older with able to afford any kits I want => No time to build

hello, sifu. i am new here. i want to ask what sandpaper to use for polish the part? bcoz some kits, i dont want to paint them. just want to assemble. before that i use this tool. https://shopee.com.my/product/53496574/3861...22-1618218992.9 but after that they still leave the mark there.
*
Went for straight build? This tool will be hard to control might accidently sanded more area. Suggest get tamiya sand paper or 3m sanding sponge as both will have finer sanding mark. Start from 600>800>1000>1500 sanding grit, then end with tamiya polishing Compound red > blue should be enough for fine finish.

Suggest apply matte coat as it hide all most visible imperfection biggrin.gif

I think i don't need magnifying glass yet. Going to buy a clamp to secure the parts in place when i try to stick stuff on.

I have 2 magnifying glass one for build one for airbrush, worth the investment also less burden on eyes with small parts.

Do you guys really go all out like the hardcore guides and Redditors where they all custom paint all their kits? Thinking of getting back into gunpla but like everyone’s saying must do topcoat or paint… I’m thinking only simple panel lines.
*
You can have your fun to play at your pace, not necessary follow others. Just that when you paint and topcoat your kits mean you put extra love to it and make sure it turn out what you like. The glorious feeling when the kit completed and put into display is priceless yo~ biggrin.gif

For myself after dig more deep into topcoat and paint...I learnt the following extra skills...

Is it ok if I use Pour Type Gray Gundam Marker to panel line the RG Nu? Can use what to erase mistakes?
*
User the following,

1. Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color (Gray)
2. Tamiya Enamel Thinner x20

Tamiya enamel thinner find smallest bottle you can find. Use ear cotton buds dip it to clean up excess panel line. Can watch youtube how to use the panel line accent color.

I am worried because reddit says Tamiya Panel Line will corrode bare plastic and they suggest to use pour type gundam marker instead
https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/a2...with_a_warning/
*
Yes if put too much amount of panel line and soak it might have this problem. Use as little as much possible for thin and clean line. Don't worry too much actually do try hands on and experience yourself.
