either the new oyw or the older one...
for articulation also same rite? using back old mold for it..

Ya, so both OYW are the same, guess it just ur choice of colour, either pinklish or the original Red. hmm, seem the Turn A gundam using the original Anime design for the MG, guess really going to look like those mexican with long misai. I remember back somewhere in this tread or in Gundam and Mecha Modelling V4 that some1 say it going to be Turn A, but no 1 believe him, but now, haizz, we all really felt shock when the news was releases.

so if we get this thing no need to paint white on top nemore..
few coats of this is enough?

I don't think surfacer is going to cut it as paint. Personally I find the texture to be slightly different. Surfacer is slightly rough to alow paint to afix itself properly (hence it being called surfacer).

anybody happen to have a scrap eva-01 LMHG? i broke the jaw joint, after gluing, it does not fit properly. anyone wanna sell spare parts? jaw or whole head.

Well, having a primer and having actual paint as the finishing does have its differences. Its kinda hard to describe, just something that u need to see the difference for yourself actually.

Furthermore, you're gonna have a hard time keeping the model clean if its just the primer as the finishing. Even dust might be harder to wipe off.

no..having white surfacer first doesnt means u can skip white color paint...
like i said last time..having white base first if to cover those bright color place and later you wanna repaint with lighter color easier...

example like those leg missile one zaku v2..it come originally with black color...so if you wanna paint the missile red...you need to either surface it or white base it first...to cover the black plastic..

true...surfacer make the paint stick better on the plastic...so with proper drying time..the paint stick better on the plastic and not easy to chip or scratch off

Guys, any of you know how to clean the moisture trap for the airbrush?

i think it was infested_ysy.

for me..i just shake shake the water out...
lol

and another question, is it normal after we paint for a while, the compressor got hot and there's more water coming out from the compressor?

Any advice on this? since i'm just new in this airbrush thingy.

Thanks guys.

yes...its normal
means when your gun start to spray water...u need to stop and let the whole thing cool down first before continue...

i assume you got those mini compressor type..

and further airbrush discussion can be post here...

yup. its the mini compressor one.
Anyone here got rx78-gp01Fb that they one to share with me? i'm working on that now. need some idea to do custom theme.

while using topcoat, i was told to prepare some hot water .. and keep the can warm while spraying for better end result

how warm should the water be?

just not hot enough till ur can can burst will do...lol


i always mix boil water with cold water a bit...and if my hand can touch the water..then i put in the can for 10 or 20 mins....

harr...Top coat must do this procedure before using it ah? I also dunno.

Actually, for any forms of paint that comes from a spray can, its recommended to do this.

yea...so you got a smooth spray

and less dots on your model surface

aiya...nobody tell me this when that time im saying using top coat..

btw, does Time Machine now still got lot's of FLAT topcoat?

they always keep their stock of all type of topcoat available...
