got a question,usually a liner can use to line how many 1/100 model?

want to ask , AB 1/64" is wat mean?

Hi guys,

I'm very new to painting models and recently bought myself a simple kit to start with. I'm very new to this and is looking on hand painting the kit since i cannot afford airbrushing kit yet.

A)Let me get this few items straight with you guys for painting. Planning to
buy,

1. Primer for light and dark colour
2. Acrylic paints
3. Brush
4. Thinner

B) Anything else i should add?

C) ALso, can i buy the the four CYMK acrylic colours off the art shops and
mix em myself as it is cheaper this way, and i have more experience
with mixing paints. Will this way work?

ANother thing is, to the PROs out there, any way to ensure uniformity through paint brushing? or i need to buy spray can paints from hobby shops for large surface areas?
THanks a lot guys.

modeling paint is kinda hard to level using brush for a newbie therefore u cant ensure perfect uniformities from hand brush paint... AB is the best but in some ways, spray cans can perform better than AB..

btw, do primer using hand brush is ridiculus for newbie...

This one have no definate answer, cause some 1/100 model dont need much lining while some need a lot of lining.

guys, lets say if i lazy go hobby shop to buy a hobby surfacer/primer,
which brand, or type of surfacer should i purchase from a normal hardware shop/artshop? (or do they even sell any )

anybody know where to get Tamiya Clear Pearl Spray in JB? Cant seem to find any Toycity here.

Toycity? There used to be one in Plaza Pelangi, but not sure whether it's still there or not. Then again even if it's there I doubt you will be able to find Tamiya Pearl Spray over there.

Want to ask people with experience working on Kotobukiya kits. I recently bought a a SRW kit and I'm not sure if I can apply the same work like those on Bandai kits, ie. using Mr. Cement, sanding, priming, coating etc. Asking because their plastic seems significantly different from those of Bandai's and scared might destroy the kit. Thanks.

can.. just be extra careful as their ps is thinner and less solid..
cracking/breaking is prominent if not carefull..

i wanna ask.

does chloroform works on gunpla?

as an alternative to mr.cement

anyone got a guide on the paint job (How-to) for the Gundam Wing Zero's wings to make it like er... grayish... or tarnish er... u know... like they're not brand new as they are from the box?

sorry for the bad description... i hope i got my question through....

Airbrush it and do shading effect on it! Or used those Tamiya Enamel Paint to paint grey on ur wings then wipe them off it with the thinner again. Last is used Flat Top Coat to kill the gloss and then do panel lining with Enamel paint and try wipe a bit of those tat run out of the panel line!

sounds complicated and difficult.... :-S

any simplier explanation or step by step for noobies?

first Airbrush one i think u cannot do it
Second one is enamel paint, try finding it loh but i think is still a bit hard for u to understand
So the last one Flat top coat and panel lining loh! This one most easy all u need is go buy a can of those Flat top coat from hobby shop and spray it on to ur kit then Panel line using some gundam marker (those very Fine one) then Flat top coat on it again! It will kill off the glossiness on the gundam's Wing but u wont get the greyish effect! Tat need shading technique which u required a compressor and airbrush

can someone teach me how to remove the seam line properly? i've been using mr cement s, apply to the gaps and press it hard for a minute or so before sanding. the result isn't satisfactory
