this question has been asked over and over again on this forum..

you can either google or try the local plastic modelling forums :

plamo.outthere.info/forum

or,

sggunplasociety.com

other wise, u can head down to local hobby stores to ask them for any tips/advices.

I might buy a TT hongli kit then spray paint first.

Use a HG or AG, no need to spray paint MG on ur first try. I recommend grunt suits, e.g.zaku cos lesser colours to paint and cheaper(most of the time) than lead gundams.

Everything has a first time, right?

Question: how did ur panel lining screw up when u top coat?

I think is top coat screwing up panel linings....... Now got a even better kit than zakus, is the genoace custom, g-exes and g-bouncer, all white so only need 2 colours..... white and another for innerframe/joints

Tested lacquer paint on ABS Plastic. No breaking even after stress tests. But it definitely feels stiffer.

I felt like doing a IRS report on this just for the lols.

AGE-1 Gransa... that was unexpected.
