Added on November 27, 2008, 5:06 pmgetting back to ur questions..
well.. depend wat suites to ur need;
1) most of us will snap-fit our kit, painting or not it's a matter of when time allow us to do so.
bear in mind an MG kit requires somewhere from 2-3 weeks and can last up to 1-2 months (if u r rili one bz fella) to complete painting.. so i snap-fit the kit i want 1st and find when free then start painting
2) fix figuration is almost a figure, with movable parts and detachable armors, it doesnt allow u to "build the kit from runner". so it's diff. i like snap-fitting so i choose model kit.
3) money
u can spent min or alot depend again how u gonna spent ur money for tools, paints, not to mention airbrush handpiece and compressor. but i spent more on paints, thinners and disposable tools. airbrush n compressor is just one time investment.
so, u decide wat u wanna do after u snap-fit lor.
thanx for the reply, i bought some basic tools from tamiya under ground already, and some instant spray on type paint. guess i will do the same, snap fit the kit then think about what to paint and when to paint. by the way, do you use air brush for ur gunpla? i check some online tutorial, dun really hav idea how to use it and i know with compresor and and different sizes of air brush it would be another hefty investment if i dun really use it often and at the end of the day, it will become and white elephant. where to look for those gundam marker or gunpla related material? i check few hobby shop, around one utama ( tamiya underground), mid valley XL sell some of the paint only, where can i actually scout or check out gundam related things and air brush stuff? any good recomendation? hope u dun mind from time to time i will ask u more if i go into paint and detail scaling of gundam. Thanx alot of the reply
