QUOTE(chriswoo @ Jul 31 2008, 07:20 PM) finaly chome war over got a bottle of greenish looking mr. masking sol neo too. Haven't exactly used it as i'm a bit unsure if but come to 1 most important topic i like to as related to AB methold that is what the MOST effecient way of masking when comes to details part coloring can anyone suggest that?  for me i done some research that only best and more effecient masking is tamiya masking tape and fluid sol mask but to apply it is not easy so any expert here got know how to use that is more better way then me >,<? it may help those who want paint 1/144 kits and above   a) Is it safe for paints - i.e. do i need to prepare the surface in any way to avoid ripping off paint when i lift it? b) How long before it solidifies and i can proceed to ABing on the colour? Will it solidify in the bottle (i.e. must use up within a period of time)? thanks in advance. |

Si fu si fu sekalian,
Would the 'chrome gold' painting trick work with other colours? I'm trying to not use the eye stickers for my SD, so am wondering if i paint the eye bit silver and then spray a coat of clear (methinks mr hobby has clear red, clear orange, clear yellow, clear green and clear blue) then i'm all set? |

I want to redo an SD Kampfer. Will Mr Thinner remove both the flat topcoat and ALL traces of paint?

I've primed my stargazer with mr base white. don't think spraying on another coat of white paint would help much? Should i proceed straight to shading?
so much to learn... |

speaking of which, SD Seed Zakus come with an interchangable antannea on the head - a normal one for commander units and a placeholder for the grunts. When using the placeholder, which is actually a piece of plastic covering the opening from the inside, there's a noticable 'seam' on the head (slightly more obvious than a seam line). Can i use mr surfacer or do i need putty to get rid of this?

uh oh, what kit is it? if it's a cheapo sd or ng, just get a new kit. otherwise you'll need a 'hobby type' thinner - i.e. Mr Thinner to remove the paint. But this is not cheap and not sure if it'll remove pylox.
Or perhaps you can sand the joints lightly - IF the holes are not tersumbat totally. |
