Hi guys.. I saw those rough rough paper.. Got 200.. 400.. 600.. 800.. 1000.. 1200.. 2000.. 2400..
Wat are those for? Is it the higher number the better the grade?

if I'm not wrong It's the roughness. usually 800-1200 should be enough imo.

for me i use 600 - 1000 for normal sanding.

for ABS plastic, 400-600-1000.

For matt fnish i woudl do it like this, for gloss i would use up to 1200 and after tt wet sanding with sanding sponge. :)

i know... its parental guidance, they always show it before showing the noose:s12::s12:

:s22::s22:

alternatively you can get from keith at airbrush.sg or taobao if you are willing to take risks, its more cheaper cause its OEM and the latter is from china=:p
FYI.. Keith ab n compressor also from china.. :)

Stick to own bandai system better. When you mentioned PG, 95% of the hobbyist will think it's perfect grade.

FG - first grade
NG - Non graded
EG - entry grade
AG - advanced grade
RG - real grade
HG - high grade
MG - master grade
PG - perfect grade

guys, gimme some opinion. My fren said he's in one HUGE gundam shop in Akihabara, the PG 00 Raiser + special stand sell 18370 Yens (around S$ 300), worth it?

(Also, what's the current selling price for this kit in S'g? He said the PG Wing Zero custom sold at 11020 yens)

take the 00 raiser and the stand cause you'll probably need it for aerial poses... I think I saw the pg wing at taka for about 300.. correct me if I'm wrong though
