Edison is the best gundam seller in Malaysia, but u hv to wait for awhile for new stock to come, not that long, but the price will make u drop ur mouth. drool.gif btw, do any1 saw the MG Zaku II ver 2.0 at west Malaysia? how the price? just want to compare. The 100th MG, i got a feeling it may not be RX 78-2, to predictable, but maybe it is, still need to wait and see.
*
i know which shop will have zaku v2 first later on in msia..lol
and already can estimate that they will sell it for RM150 and above..

after this shop has it..then TM will arrive their stock a week later..with a price cheaper about 8 to 10 bucks..lol

Hi, guys. Wan 2 ask u all. How to paint the gold part for MG Strike Freedom Normal Version to MG Strike Freedom FBM. Is it possible to make it? What paint/marker should I use coz I'm not sure bout it. Hope u all can help me. Thanks!  biggrin.gif  thumbup.gif
*
just spray the whole inner frame gold..thats it..
or if you wanna make it nicer a bit..spray black first then only go for the gold.

QUOTE(fyire @ Apr 29 2007, 12:56 AM)
is there a difference between the 2? I just had a look at the internal frame of the SF normal and the SF FBM, and both looks to be the same color to me ler...
*
there is different between normal and full burst..
the expose part are abit more shinnier while the one under the armor are the same gold as the normal version.

Hi, Im been toying around with gundam for quite sometime, but this time try to be more serious. I bought Strike Freedom MG and also Zeta Gundam MG. Bought the glossy spray and tried a bit on access plastic, it looks too wetty and smudgy and do we apply the marker lining before or after cause its smudge my lining with the spray.

I need some guidance please.

Damn, where I can get this one... love it. Someone tell me please.

http://wonderexcellence.sub.jp/gallery/wsfa1/wsfa1.jpg
*
wetty means you either spray it too close to your surface or spray it too much already..

and yes..topcoat do smudge your marker lining..if you spray the topcoat to much
try to spray a thin layer first..and wait till it fully dry..and spray another layer after that

QUOTE(wmconan @ Apr 29 2007, 02:02 PM)
Actually how much for the gold spray? Iz expensive? How bout the gold paint and the marker? Is it possible to make it like SF FBM using jz gold paint and marker?  blush.gif
*
gold spray from mr hobby is around RM26- RM30
gold paint around RM6
and gundam gold marker around RM9 - RM14

and yes..its possible to color ur SF with just a marker..lol..it just the surface wont be even and also you will be wasting alot of those marker..

the best way is to go get the spray can..dont care tamiya or mr hobby one..
one can can cover the whole SF inner frame already.

how much is a can of matte topcoat? where can i get it from? was at MV tamiya/toycity earlier.. dun see any also

As for hardware shop paint spray cans... which brand can/cannot be used on gundam plastics?


Added on April 29, 2007, 3:17 pmany idea how to create those rivets on the amour?
like i post earlier just now..topcoat around RM26-RM30
and time machine at BTS has it for RM30

MV never sell topcoat..not in any of the toys shop there..

for those armor to have those rivets..you can drill a small hole

QUOTE(^666^ @ Apr 29 2007, 03:23 PM)
so i marker it wioth the lining, use eraser to make it neat.
spray lightly and let it dry? after that assemble it?
where can i get those sandpaper for my gundam?
i also cant find any effect maker for my gundam.

when i but those thick gundam coloring marker, its difficult to apply on my gundam.
sorry for these newbie question. thanks for the help.
in time square, err i forgot the shop name has a lot.
i bought mine there.
*
topcoat are spray after your model are fully complete with decals and paint..means topcoat are at the final step of completing your gundams.

sandpaper can get from hardware store..it just a sandpaper..wont melt your plastic also..lol

those thick markers are oil base and are meant for coloring large area..
theres also a water base markers..but its hard to get localy..this one are perfect for lining also..and easly wipe off with tissue..

hmm..its almost the same gold as full burst version..only not as yellow..
its more lighter and less yellowish..

and yes..you just shake and spray straight..not sure if you put into warm water first the can..the spray will be nicer or not..just like you do for topcoat can..

but whatever also..if you spray with whatever gold also..i will look nicer than the gold plastic color of the unpainted gold part of normal SF

my SF spray with mr hobby gold paint

thanks for the guide, i will try it and post the result later.
i really wanted to perfect it as per what the box shown. hahhaha.
if this 2 mg gundam is successfully i can try it on a perfect grade.
unfortunately only wing gundam and strike gundam available for perfect grade.

one thing, the lining marker is not that good, any other solution?
*
what you mean only got wing and strike for PG..
there is a lot more PG out there

http://www.dalong.net/review/pg.htm

or izzit you mean locally only sell those two pg only? but here also..TM sell many other PG also what..

QUOTE(boltguard @ Apr 30 2007, 03:46 AM)
sry to ask this, never try this before but is there really a difference between:

spray black coating, after dry then spray a layer of gold
(and)
straight away spray gold on runners

i need to know 1st before any accidents happen, lol =P
*
it is recommended not to spray straight on the runner..it will leave you a cutting mark later.

spray black first or spray gold straight that one up to you..its better for you to test it somewhere first before actually doing it on ur SF.
spray straight gold also is no harm..but just dont do it on the runner..

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

TM always stock up all of their 3 topcoat..
sell them for RM30
and one of the hobby shop at city square there also sometimes sell topcoat for RM24..forgot the shop name..not really friendly also the uncle there..lol

QUOTE(ahhann @ May 5 2007, 12:43 AM)
Can someone show me what is Flat Top Coat look like?
And if possible the process of applying the top coat on to the model?
any special tools needed?

Kinda wanna try on 3 of my MG.
*
there is no real process of applying topcoat..its a spray can..so you need to apply them like you spray a spray paint lo..so meaning no need any kind of tools for applying topcoat

but you can always put the topcoat can in hot or warm water few minutes before you spray them into you kits..its make the topcoat spray more smooth

this one totally depends..sometimes one can can only last for 1 or 2 MGs only..depends on how heavy you spray it. but maximum usually just till 2 MGs if you spray the whole kit..even till its weapons..

hg about 3 or 4 like that..
