^ lol, i dun think anybody wanna sell off their SF's beam shield ;P lol, other ppl wan em too >.<
too bad this aint akiba, where u can buy gunpla separate parts, kekekeke

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 )

aloha ~~

i just bought a MG 1/100 Shin Musha Gundam

to anyhere who owns a Shin Musha, can anyone tell me how to make the so-called gold parts more "gold"?, if u know wut i mean

when i checked in Dalong.net, then i compare to the real stuff, its really weird, doesnt match at all ;p, kekekeke

which recommendable gold colour spray should i use? or should i surface them first?

can anyone tell me where can i get this?
these are called Hologram Sheets

so long i didnt play with my AB, suddenly i ab my kit today, put surfacer in the ab, there's this web thingy that came out of my ab, wuts the prob with that?

is my mixing ratio wrong?

help me onegai shimasu

urmm, this is how i do, surfacer 30% & thinner 70%, correct ka?
then how bout mr. colour ? same mixing ratio?

well, in my case, i used an alternative method though ;p, strip a little bit of lipstick or a nail colouring and mix it with a nail cutex (mine's lemon flavour), that should replace the paint (mr hobby's) and the thinner (mr levelling thinner), it always gives me satisfacory results ;p

but its up to u to choose which method is better for u ;D

ok guys, i follow the correct mixing ratio proportion and this is wut i get ;p

GM Striker is 2/3 surfacer, 1/3 leveling thinner = leave no colour parts behind, all surfaced
BB Zhang Liao is 1/3 surfacer, 2/3 leveling thinner = still can see a bit of coloured parts



yohohoho. can realli see the difference , so the next step is colour using the right proportions again i suppose? , i dowan screw up my ab skill

but in the end, i used up all of the air canister then kenot use the remaining ab surfacing on my Zaku , only able to suface "a bit" only for the side shield

yes sir , actually, it's been a while since i ab my kit actually, so when i check back my compressor, it's not functioning =3=, so i went out and bought an air canister, and tried several experiments with it, really got BIG difference when used it

i think i should go and scout a compressor and buy it

but thanks dude, i really learn a lot

well, i dun always use the industrial thinners to mix ;p, often use the hobby thinners
i always use nail cutex (the one u polish off nail colours) in my case , works well both ways

i first time use the real touch marker , use it on the Mascross Alto, the white parts
applied and wipe it with tissue, result is very dirty indeed =3=

any tips on using the real touch markers?

real touch markers are, urmm, like the one below
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10037435

but they're very much different from the normal gundam markers
real touch markers seems waterproof , then tried with thinner, all gone , have to start all over
or is it i have to stick with the old school twist style, use the thin point gundam line marker

saw from hobby japan 2008 november issue, they used it on the Macross parts to make the detail lines, then wipe it off, but when i tried it, it made a smudgy mess pulak

guys, which methods are recommended?

a. mr colour, topcoat, lining & decal, topcoat again

b. mr colour, lining & decal, topcoat again

c. mr colour, lining, topcoat, decal, topcoat again

note that the above has no primer/surfacer to begin with

yup, the colours do match , tested & proven , unless if u wanna give a try using other set of gundam markers

hey guys, just wanna ask here, is sinanju better off with flat or semi-gloss or gloss topcoat?
i noe most mono-eyes are better off with the super finish gloss candy
coz i'm about to make the final topcoat layer for my sinanju
just need some recommendations

btw, can tell me wut are those thingies in the shield , wut are they called? , and the white thing on the eye (i noe it's not real eyes ;p), and the small yellow thing on the chest part


next, is there any way to make the shield blade to be sharpen until so sharp wan?


wuts with the white thing between the booster pack? ;D, and how to fill in between the gundam 'ears'?, and how to make the GN drives longer? (it seems longer to me)



sry if i ask too much T_T, it's just that i wanna try modding with my own hands, gotta start trying now ;p, if possible, i need tutorials too T_T

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?
