tq i've ady compared n got a few spraycans figured out. but if any1 can help more ur welcome 2 k.

thanks again

Dear madmoz,

Mr.Top Coat fall under Aqueous category.

Ic ic. Tq.

Dear Sifu's,

May i know the effect is the same if use Flat paint + Clear Gloss top coat VS Gloss Paint + Clear Gloss top coat?

wa this question very hard to answer.......

ok if u spray the some amount of gloss top coat, the one with flat color as base will look less glossy. but with experience n skill, even flat base color can be as glossy as mirror with the help of gloss top coat.

O.o thanks rayloke.. i will play around with it cos i dont like kit to be so glossy

Helloo... i juz wanna ask has any1 started painting or will paint their MG Sinanju?

is there any tool that can be used to make panel lines?

btw, wut's this for anyways? can this replace the normal gundam lining pen?

normally i use a cheapo pin vise to hold a needle (Those used for sewing), together witha p-cutter (Those cotter specially for cutting plastic).

to get the position, i use masking tape, then poke some holes to create marking, then use dymo or dyna (different brand only, basically same type of tape) tape to aid creating the lines.

almost everybody will ask,why it's very easy to slant or create lines that's not straight? well the secret is to draw the line very light, do it like 4~5 times, then take away the tape and continue draw, use the depth u want. later, for thicker line, can use p-cutter on the line.


1. use masking tape to get the right position:




2. poke holes....





3. with help of dymo tape, use needle hole by pin vise the script....




sorry being long winded, i like panel lines very much...... hope that helps.

erm, wanna ask here is that enamel paint use for lining and painting are different?

erm may i know whr i can get this weathering set in KL ?

http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZGMS107

Besides that, is there any other brand or way tat is recommended for doing weathering ?

I'm using it for military aircraft model kit.. wanted to do the rusted panel lines..

Sorry for the nub question, and thanks for answering >< hehe

You can try TM and cineleisure.

wat paint u applied?
(i kena before, marker under primer still have "shadow", it's very sad )
if u use acrylic (Mr. hobby or tamiya), try use window cleaner aka windex, any brand will do.
if u use mr.color, try brake oil "dot3" (i haven't try myself by i've read few sucess stories b4)
if u use can spray, most prob ur last hope is brake oil.
one of my fren tried brake oil, it didnt work so u still have to try urself.
brake oil may coz some brittleness of ur plastic.

if u rili need to save ur kit, then rub with hobby thinner but it's a nighmare

Added on January 20, 2009, 4:30 pmmr.base white is to give a "white foundation" before u paint other colors.
so the color u paint later will be "original". esp, white, yellow, red or light colors.
if u paint straight on plastic (other than white) or primer (grey), ur color coat may be a bit darker than wat u want.
and mr.base white is not a primer, it's diff from primer coz does not has the durability of a primer. it's just a foundation color.
"WHITE SURFACER (white primer)" is available if u wanna prime ur kit in white but only available in can spray.
mr. base white has advantage over normal mr.color white as it's a lacquer, and more opaque and sticks better.
u need to prime wt normal surfacer (1000 or 1200) before u apply base white.
dark colors, black or metallic colors not affected if applied straight on grey primer.


same.
but if u use enamel for painting, u won't wanna use back enamel for lining.
the purpose people use enamel wash over lacquer/acrylic is bcoz enamel thinner does not harm it.
so u can clean up the messy line without affecting ur painted color.

u don't have to use those wat. i see many people use acylic drybrushing/enamel wash for weathering.
those markers are hard to get and expensive.
just my 2 cents

@ erh_teo

do u mean by buying maybe a rust brown enamel paint from maybe tamiya for example;

den i use a brush to brush it to make the effect as i like? sorry for asking so much hehe, my only experience is panel lining lol, so there's lots of things tat i wanna make sure before i do it and spoil my kit ><

err.. i didn't answer ur question though
but if it's regarding the mr.base white, sorry if i meant to correct ur post.
i too been wandering long wat was the diff of using mr. base white as to using other alternatives.
u know, it's a waste if i get something redundant and GSI certainly has their reason to market mr.base white.
i forgot where i got the explanations but somehow i'm cleared now of it's usage

weathering is a bit tough, dun ask me coz i'm not military guy..
but a quite search through armor/military modelling might helps..
it's not relying on material but oso reference and technique.

u might wanna try this:
