Noob question (lol): when you use gundam markers to paint, how easy is it to remove the wet paint if you've made a mistake?

For example, when you use the gundam marker to do panel lining, it is easy to just wipe off the excess with your thumb or a wet cloth.

Can the same be done with the paint markers?

can but ur hand will get bloody dirty frm that^^ if cloth then jialat lor cuz paint...

if thers web appear on ur model after u AB, it means your paint is still too pekat and need to add somemore thinner to it...


Added on May 28, 2008, 10:08 pmhow many layers of top coat should i spray on my mg freedom so the paint won't chips off? i use AB one not direct from the can cause the nozzle really sucks... (i spray the top coat into the small cup on the air brush then i spray on my kit like spray paint like that... please note that it's kinda thin...)

besides, can recommend any sites for air compressor maintenance tips?


Added on May 28, 2008, 11:02 pmguys, is that possible to mix tamiya acrylic paint with mr hobby thinner or tamiya thinner mix with mr hobby lacquer paint? if cannot may i know what will happen?

Err i handpaint, bro... i dont airbrush..  biggrin.gif    Still got webs appear... hahaha.

Actually top coat 1 coat enuf d la... you cant make ur kit 100% chip -free.... its bound to chip if u like to play alot... i rarely see ppl double coat. Wont it be too thick ?
Tamiya dont have lacquer, btw... so u cant possibly mix Mr.  Color Thinner with Tamiya's ENAMEL or ACRYLIC paints... the only lacquer tamiya has is spray cans....

Tamiya's acrylic just use water to thin it... same goes to mr hobby's acrylic ( flat cap )... You can use mr Hobby color thinner for both brands... since were talking about ACRYLIC paints here.

Mr. Hobby's Lacquer ( mohawk cap ) must thin with Mr. Color Thinner....

Tamiya's Enamel must thin with TAmiya Enamel Thinner, obviously lol...
*
dude i would like to ask about your line 2 and 3... in line 2, u say i cant possibly mix mr colour thinner with tamiya's ACRYLIC paints but in line 3, u say mr colour thinner can mix with ACRYLIC paints from both mr colour and tamiya brand.... both saying the opposite facts le...

so, which is true now?

Been looking for paints to start off my repainting projects.

it seems like these paints are not easy to find. XL shop Mid Valley, Toy City HQ and Branches, few other toy shops....basic colors like flat black, and such seems to be hard to find.

Any sifu here know about the best place to go? like a One Stop place to get all the tools i need?

Thanks
*
toy city mostly sells tamiya acrylic color only... XL shop mid valley sell things damn bloody exp... if u want a great varieties of paint to choose, go to AF HOBBY Shop at Ampang... U can get all the tools + paints there... the boss is familiar with all the paints and tools so if u not sure u can get some recommendation from him...


Added on May 31, 2008, 10:50 pmguys. a fully painted MG freedom kit can sell how much ah? 100% paint original animation colour, no weathering + 0% sticker usage...

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  cry.gif
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...

he he belum cuba belum tau, sekali cuba lagi mau..... tongue.gif

For this one mebbe some will tell you this and some will tell u that. i recommend u try it yourself. Obviously the paint must be dilute to a level it can flow in tight space, like a panel line. but how thin or dilute, it's totally up to you!

For example, u r using enamel paint black only (without adding other color like brown), the more dilute u will find that the tone of black/gray is lighter. so u can have thousands of tones of color. if u want a natura,l magazine photographed, kinda effect, mebbe lighter. If u want a very graphic novel dark panel line, well, make it less dilute. it's like in water color class, nobody can tell you what color the car you r going to paint. it's all decided by you!

So try it yourself. first, gloss coat your kit, then try lighly touch the tip of your brush onto the panel line. the paint should, by itself, flowing and filling up the gap. Look at the result, if u dont like it, hmmm too dark, use a cotton bud dip with a little tuppertine or enamel thinner, wipe it off!

Play with it, it's really fun! mebbe u can do a purple panel line which nobody ever did and the result is shockingly beautiful?

The main thing is not how dilute so the paint can fill the longkang, everyoine can mix more thinner to fill longkangs, the main thing is what kinda of effect you want to make your kit looks even more professional. tongue.gif

Happy trying!

hehe i tried once on my painted HG justice but the result doesn't turn out like what i wan la... the pressure very hard to control also... by the way... im currently learning it too haha...

For me panel lining with Enamel is really time saving and easy! U just dip it on to ur kit it automatic feels the line.....want to clean up just used back the enamel thinner to wipe it! And yup u guys need to used Gloss top coat first so it can make it smoother and easier to wipe!
Guys back to my Gold paint question up there.....any advise?
*
300078,

theres a few methods for gold paint depends on your desire on what kind of gold u like...

1. if u like the old type of gold, get the mr color no.9...

2. if u wan darker gold, get mr color metallic gold no.217...

3. if u wan "1/100 oowashi/shiranui akatsuki" or "strike freedom full burst mode skeleton system" type of yellow gold, spray a layer of chrome silver on top your kit and then spray a layer of clear yellow on top the chrome silver layer but remember in this method, your yellow layer must be same thick every where or else the thicker yellow paint parts will have a darker yellowish gold comparing to other parts of the painted body... also remember to adjust the yellowness of the yellow by adding clear orange to make it darker...

add clear(no.46) to lighter the yellow but i don suggest you to do so cuz natural gold colour should be yellowish laugh.gif

the third method is tested by myself so it is proved to work but if u wan example pic for it then im sorry cuz i din do it on my kit, i help other people do... please try it on a runner for testing 1st before u do on your kit because it's not that easy... and remember to gloss the surface to make it nicer laugh.gif

lao... btw, craft knife.. which type is recommended to buy? the 60degree or 30degree one...
*
aiyo i buy all the three types lor 30, 60 and 90 degree haha... hobby pen knife holder can switch the blade part without buying another handler de ma so don worry la cheap only la nod.gif ...

well for those blades i gt 3 handles for every type myself cuz i very often switch between them de...

i use 30 for nip cutting cuz it have a longer blade cutting tip and it can cut nips more accurate compared to others...

i use 60 for scratching away the paint marker line for place which i don wan the paint to be at and make panel line drawing thinner on those unpaint parts and also cut nips sometimes... sometimes shakehead.gif ...

i use 90(have very short blade cutting tip bout 3-4mm only) to cut decal after decal applied on those place which got seam lines which shall not be hidden away using putty(like freedom/strike freedoms' shoulder) or panel lines... it also can be use to make or deepens the panel lines so u can get ultra thin panel lines in some parts which have/dont have panel lines originally(own desire) hmm.gif

all of them are useful and u can get them for about RM12-13(Maped Creativ)... becareful cuz the blades rust easily if u touch it with bare hands so to clean the blades use tissue paper... if u rich get tamiya hobby knife as it wont rust but of cuz la cheapest i saw is about RM60-80 hehe laugh.gif ...

and by the way yamyinhao, dont use envelop knifes cus it isn designed to be use as a hobby knife as the knife is loose and cutting is never accurate at all doh.gif ... get urself a Maped Creativ hobby knife at bookstore like popular or thai kwang...


.......and guys, to fix seam lines mr putty is best so far... putty the seam line then stick together both pieces then cut and sand the seams till smooth then straight surface once or twice(if u r very cho lo or very unlucky) then smooth liao then can paint ad la... no nid much work de la... see my MG freedom in modelling gallery... i din surface to check the seam lines also cuz mafan la btw in hurry also so juz putty then cut and sand till very smooth then straight paint ad without surfacer... easy and as good as those with surfacer to check for seam lines...


these are just my experience so good luck trying it:thumbs:
