i want to make a white saber as fluorescent pink.. not the otherway around..
for sd purposely not like those transparent saber came with mg..
if got glow in the dark even better..

you wanna do something like in the picture
you better dont use masking tape

masking tape on beam saber then you get 2 side of color after you paint with a straight line one it...one side transparent pink one side white

its slowly and lightly spray white on the end at the holder side...spray can maybe abit hard...but it still can be done

something like what im trying to say btw u are the pro so ur explanation should be more exact to the point

then both an be used. for the acrylic paint, since it's translucent, u have gotta paint it white first. as white as u can, then the fluorecent apint on top. the effect is like using those fluorecent highlight pen, and draw on top a piece of white paper.

If u r using laquer, also need a white base, paint over it. effect is like using thick fluorecent poster color and paint on a piece of white paper.

As for glow in the dark, i dont think it has any pink/red paint. it's greenish color in normal lights. i know humbrol enamel paint does have it.

As for glowing effect (not glow in the dark), u need "black light" or UV lamp (like those used to see the watermark on our dollar bill) to shine onto the kit. Not good for your health though. certain color will be enhanced under this light, like fluorecent color, pure white, hence creater a glowing effect. However, then u gotta build a case for display.

thanks rayloke for the explaination..

as i do like to search the fluorescent paint if any..
whether it's really exist and can be found around here..
otherwise i just end up with the spray..

i normally use lacquer paint

cannot....


cement is used to melt plastic so both part can "melt" together...

resin is not plastic...so to glue a resin part, u hav to use AB glue...

well for gold ya need clear yellow but for that the gold effect different from the plated 1 abit but seem nicer

walau wan continue quarrel bout chrome paint here ah... tired liao la lao weh... now no example for chrome gold effect so wait till i done an example myself liao im going to prove it la by then...

yup here is the pic i done b4

compare the direct gold spay between clear yellow

well if u want chrome gold can set up a DIY electrolytic cell.. for bro chris's gold colour, the left gold is the one came from bandai and the right one u painted it yourself?

errm i think you misunderstood the meaning of electrolytic because I only can mimic but can't make it

plus : both also painted which 1st one on the left is direct use silver background + gold but the right side i use silver background + clear yellow and both of them come out different terms of gold but i perfer the right 1 because is way better than plan gold

why not? btw add the yellow would make the gold brighter

I think richard meant that if you want to chrome your parts, you can build a simple Electrolytic Cells to do the chrome plating http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topi...h20/faraday.php

i was just thinking of this idea... never tried it before though.. should work theoritically..

Added on July 30, 2008, 1:15 amu'll need to add one layer of carbon to the plastic if it really works there's no need to add extra money for chrome parts

this one will do http://www.finishing.com/faqs/howworks.html
if u know english u should be able understand it \
come to think of it, we used to chrome keys back in school few years ago and it was successful.. should try it on gunpla someday

lol maybe you should try AB 1st see how you addict to it but for those Electrolytic Cells i think still no one try on it or have the resourch to try also as those equipment/tool is expensive and i don't think only manufacture have them.

thanks for the highlight

i think the flying effect on the funnels made up a more significant part in that RM50..

plated gold and self AB color gold is really 2 different thing! U can mimic the gold but u cant achieve the quality of plated one!
Plate chrome gold are smooth surface and u wont see those small gold sand particles! The color is usually really tough and wont get scratch off easily!
AB one, u can notice those small gold particles and also the surface is not smooth and gloss as the plated one! However AB one can do a lot of special effect and shading on the gold then the plated one!

thanks for explain it....
