The Plastic Model kit hobby thread

[samloi]

Do you buy online? or in physical shop?
And can you share the thinning ratio?
I used the vallejo one... cannot sia...

vallejo i tried but cannot stick well........maybe cause i dont like to clean with soapy water before hand
Moi still a noob but Mr Hobby seems to strike it well for me

I use about 1:1-1.5 with levelling thinner. better with .5 tip else will clogged

Have you tried the 30mf kits? Cheap, easy to build and the base figure can pass even pangsai cross legged.

Tks. I would give a try soon.

most of my kits are sprayed without primer.
Especially after i used vallejo. i think i don't know how to use. Its quite horrible.

I bought metal figures 120mm and various scales to practise painting, if don't like then I wash it off with thinners and redo with other methods and paint medium.

I got a question. What do you do with completed models? Take a few photos and chuck one side? This question bothering me to start working on my pile of shame.
