Just found out a way to remove the weathering effect from a blog and tot i share with you guys.


MP SS paint removal 101:

A) weathering:
The weathering is way easy to remove and requires almost no effort. A little rubbing alcohol (I use expensive TARGET brand 95% stuff) and a stiff paper towel make this a 5 minute project. And the panel lines stay there! It's hard to remove them, but I didn't want to anyway. You can just rub off the weathering (Gently) and the pretty grey panel lines will remain behind.

b) nosecone:
That silver is really on there. I roughed it up with a green scotchbrite pad before and during paint removal. Just light scuffing to break the paint up, not enough to cloud the blue plastic underneath. And you just use the same alcohol/towel technique. I pulled the nosecone forward and held it with my fingers in one hand (that never touched anything else) and removed with the other. If you happen to touch the cockpit with a alcohol soaked hand, bad things might happen. Clear plastic hates alcohol.

3) thruster covers:
That paint is really on there, but scrubbing and protecting the blue tail fins with one hand got it all clean within about 30 minutes.

Did a comparison and notice the difference between both the MP01. Below is some photo taken for comparison. Now I know why I paid so much more for my TomyTakara version.

Morning guys... time to go to work... so sleepy..

I second that. No molest no fun.

Treo 650 is a humble PDA phone compare to the latest crop of offering with wifi, 3G, HSPDA and GPS which the treo doesn't have.
However I like the simplicity of it, so I humbly still keeping mine.

Wah... this referee make people nose bleed only!!!
