hi all, may i know what Mr. Hobby color code is use for the gattling gun head.. kinda shinny and nice..

here

fichtenfoo.com

by the ways... its an expensive method and u waste a lot of surfacer just for that...so think wise if u r a budgeted modeler...

FYI, that specific item was AB with Mr.COLOR SUPER METALLIC:SM07 PLATE SILVER

^er, on your last line, they don't last long is it?

i'm currently building my clear version Freedom gundam and noticed that those nip marks are really annoying esp if its on the clear parts.  I even overdid myself on nipping and trimming some of the leftover sprues on the parts 
Need advice on how to properly clean the nip marks without leaving much ugly scratch marks.

well since it is a clear version then u cant sand it or else it will spoil the surface... just use hobby knife and trim it till smooth bah... thats the only way dude...

Frens! Which type of Tamiya Compound should i get???
The normal one, Fine or Ultra Fine??? Want to polish my transparent SD kit!

A bit hard to answer le, because......

Compound is like sand paper, in liquid form.

So depends on what kinda effect u want lor...... for the really shiny and smooth surface, usually used for car model finishing, go for the finishing compound  (Tamiya).
hope that helps....

dunno woh becoz in the HLJ website they onli got Normal Compound, Fine, and Ultra fine.....I am thinking of making my transparent SD gundam look glossy and shinny!
So maybe i go buy the normal compound and fine together since just 600yen for one!

if financially ok, is best to do so. just like sanding, sand with lower grid first then only go for higher.

for tamiya, u can check in tamiya undergraound in 1 utama. saw they use to sell there.

yup ... like what rayloke saids if financially ok with u get all 3 ..... since the proper way to use it is rub ( normal -> fine -> ultra fine ) but if ur lazy just rub fine is enuf .... also take note that it is better u wet sand 1st ur kit b4 rubbing any compound ....
