lolz... still no one can answer this question kah

Your paint is not thin enough... put more thinner/ levelling thinner ...

If still got web the put some Mr. Retarder mild into ur mixture. ( Sumtimes i use it, sumtimes i dont... lol )

Or just use Mr Leveling Thinner.... cuz the Leveling Thinner alredi has retarder mixed into it... no need the hassle of figuring out how much Retarder u have to put. 

ok. will remember to spray black on last next time. thanks.

is it possible to use a white basecoat (methinks mr hobby has one) instead of mr surfacer as a primer?

Guys got a question...  can i spray enamel paints onto Mr. Surfacer ?  And can i spray Mr. Topcoat over onto enamel paints ?

will have any side effects ?

No i mean, lets say i already sprayed my kit with Mr Surfacer ... then can i spray enamel paints on the surfacer ?

And lets say i already spray my kit with enamel paint... can i use Mr Topcoat to coat it ?

Err thnx again lol.

Thx rayloke for the info  , is that the woodland scenics do international shipment? thing going to get some tree and grass from them all realistic and nice~

Si fu si fu sekalian,

Would the 'chrome gold' painting trick work with other colours? I'm trying to not use the eye stickers for my SD, so am wondering if i paint the eye bit silver and then spray a coat of clear (methinks mr hobby has clear red, clear orange, clear yellow, clear green and clear blue) then i'm all set?

hi guys, anyone of ya have experience with this?



1. how long normally it ll take to oxydised? say stored indoor, in glass cabinet with no direct sunlight nor any source of strong lighting.

2. if any mistake made, any good way to remove?

3. the base color different, will it create different shade of chrome? eg the base color is gloss black vs bas is gloss Green.

If someone could help, might save me some time and money. this bugger aint cheap

Thanks in advance

not guru la, just like everyone else, enjoying the hobby while learning new things and hitting the wall occasionally

ok for more info, i quote what hlj descript about this product:

Name: Kosutte Gin-San

Maker : Work

Discription:You most probably can't cant tell from the name that this material produces one of the best metal finishes I have ever seen. By rubbing the powder onto a surface a metallic finish can be produced. The more you rub the brighter it gets. By changing direction and buffing patterns you can simulate different finishes. Warning: This powder is VERY adhesive. Wear gloves and make sure that you properly mask and cover areas you don't want to have this material on. It is difficult to remove.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Of course i ll try it myself, and i m willing to share what i encounter after that. just try to ask around for tips i need to take special precaution so i might be able to reduce unnecessary waste.

Also since this work most likely like those metallic paint needed to buff, i guess can create chrome-like effect.

I want to redo an SD Kampfer. Will Mr Thinner remove both the flat topcoat and ALL traces of paint?

but my kit is nearly 20 years old... i repainted it last month, but not satisfied with the results. time to scrub scrub methinks.

Instead of keep on saying Mr.Thinner expensive, isn't it better for you to provide another solutions other than Mr.Thinner?

P/S : I use Mr.Thinner to remove paint. Yes, I have to use it damn carefully,not to waste even 1 drop..

i read that gunze has a mr. paint remover. Apa itu?

any idea where to get those hobby polyster putty?

sitting in front of your computer n clicking mouse can give u lots of knowledge, but wont bring u anywhere in modeling.

trial n error is the best!, get your hand dirty n u will never forget those stupid mistakes u'd made; will remember them for life.............

only bad thing is, it might cost a lot of money if compare to watching youtube...................

So for those ask questions n got suggestions by others, make sure to try it out....

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

Normally I use a stick to see the dripping. If the paint dripping is like a dot and non continues, than the mixture is right. But sometime I do AB with thicker paint. Just increase the air pressure will do.
