Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[Cleaver]

I read that you guys prefer to use the super thin cement, is it better than regular one? I tried both but the super thin doesn't really have that impact as the regular one, although the regular was definitely messier.

Should I apply it like applying those furniture glue, on both side and wait for it to dry/gel a little before pressing the parts together?

The thin cement dry very fast, so what i do is leave a small gap in between the lines, and let the liquid flow down, apply about 2 to 3 times and press.

I prefer the normal type though, just dont spam too much on the parts

Hey sorry for the delay in reply, but I also face your problem and ended up using Mr. Hobby Mr. Super Clear Glossy for wash and if I need gloss final coat, then I use the Krylon. Although since their gloss is not that glossy, I use it to "fix" frosting too.

And I think I have to open up the Psycho again for gluing after deciding to remove it's transformation gimmicks, too many seamlines. And then repaint some stuff, probably get brown lining as well.

The RG was tremendous fun though [I mean really fun, haven't had that sensation in quite a bit], although I was afraid of breaking my pistons despite seeing that Sliver has managed to separate his. Found it easier to pull apart after using the frame motion instead. Definitely will get the Titans version.

haiz...... wasted money liao.....
i use just thinner to fix frosting.....

i also prefer the thin type....... easier to control than the thick one, always gets too much in the gaps that it ooze out onto the surface

seeing your psycho and mk-II i can only think of this scene, the one in Hong Kong City......

i tot the whole idea of using cement to clear seamline is for the cement and melted plastic to ooze out?

what kind of clips u using? shld be very easy to attach parts to crocodile clips leh

 

[tarui04]

the alligator clips are useful in most situations except in parts where there isnt a hidden area to securely clip on.

an example is a ring part for the GN-x, all surfaces of the part are visible with no hidden areas. so if i clip on 1 part to paint, it might move as result of the air pressure or the clips will leave "bite marks" when i change position to spray the blocked area.

yea. i use bluetack when that happens.

some pics:

a beam cannon that has no exposed parts. I filled the hole with bluetack and stuck the stick in there

How i attach the clip to the part.

Please do correct me if i made mistakes.

looks ok.
but is the clip sturdy enough, since it is held to the stick only with blue-tack

MG gn-x
the part at the wrist area. looks like a bracelet
