it's true. lighter fluid are good to remove stain marks from markers. but i'd rather use pencil eraser because it's easier to control. besides, lighter fluid are better than using industrial thinner .

well, its not as bad as u think it is actually. I use alcohol to thin down my paints for airbrushing, and alcohol tends to burn hoter than zippo lighter fluid

airbrush spray?

^ yes..it been AB..

and for the lighter fluid..i use it to mix with my enamel paint..for lining

Im wondering .. after we spray paint d kit with mr surfacer--> Acrylic paint (Mr color) ..then when we do lining that time.. if we wanna wipe off the extra paint with d Zippo Fluid.. will it wipe away d Colour as well?

say... enamel paints right? how easy is it to manage with an airbrush? not just the brushing bits, but when it comes to cleaning the AB after that?

clivengu

yes..
at that time..its better just to use eraser..and that also better wait till the paint really really settle with the plastic first..

fyire

i dunno wo..i just use enamel for lining only..eaiser than use a marker..
never use it with AB before..most of the time i just use oil base paint with AB

anyone checked gundambase website?
http://www.gundambase.com/community/news_v...=1&news_idx=618
seem like MG100 annouce liao?
or is it a fake?

ah ok.. thought u AB enamels also. most of what i've seen before on the linings bit tends to use enamels for the painting, then acrylics for the lining, as its easier to rub off acrylic off enamel without removing the enamel. First time i've heard of enamels on acrylic though.. does the lighter fluid strip acrylic?

feel like those fluid can strip almost every type of paint..like those hardware thinner..

just feel like it la..never try it before also..so i might be wrong

I don't get it as well...

Apparently those models shown are 1/144s, yet the title did mention something about the MG100. Babelfish translated the title into something which made no sense.

I'm guessing that it might be some sort of special edition set where you get all 4 models with the launchpad as well, and it might be released along with the announcement of the no. 100 MG.

Well, since all of the shown 1/144s have been released as MGs apart from the Guntank, so could the Guntank be the no.100 MG?

Go speculate

Wow. If Bandai really going to release Guntank as MG 100. I will feel shocked and disappointed. Hehe.

hey guys,
i notice newer MG models dont come with posters anymore like they usually do..instead they replace it with some printing below the box?
don't u guys think that is not a gd idea?
cuz i like the posters came with the MGs
at least if wanna throw the box still can keep the poster.

guntank as the 100th MG is not that bad IMHO. at least its better than having yet another version of rx-78

Hmm.. so far the best theoritical combination for lining is a combination of different types of paint.

Like for example, enamel as the base coat, with acrylic for the lining, where u can use something that can wipe off the acrylic, but leave the enamel intact.

That's why I was asking if those fluids can remove enamel or not...

Hmm.. tried experimenting with water based poster color on acrylic before, as you can wipe off the poster color with just color. Pretty good results, but dont work out too well in the end when I tried to brush (hand brush, as I dun have an AB yet at that time) on the vanish (acrylic) on top of it after that, as the water content will get the lining to start running.

Havent' tried with ABing the varnish on instead yet though, that should be something interesting to try.

preferred goes for 1/100, not sure the model shop in Times Square got sell or not.

yup it is true.....tired of having a lot of RX-78-2....and then keep on comparing with existing RX-78-2......and then dont know which one is the best for you.....
