Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

Thanks! That helps.
Just to confirm acrylics from art friends can be used with air brushing too? Any particular brand i must look out for? Just thin it with 91% alcohol and it's good to go with air brush?

may not use alcohol, can use water or other diluted ammonia based solvent(9:1 water-Magiclean Glass Cleaner). When the consistency is just right you will get it going through, or just up the pressure and force it through

What kind consistency should it have, thick or very thin? I'm new to airbrush, just hoot one from Keith a few days back.

Is it better to topcoat then place decals and topcoat again or just topcoat and place decals?

I prefer to gloss topcoat, place decals, panel line and topcoat.

[Blusttoy]

Yes I really like Hobby Art Gallery/Hobby Art @ Work selections and competitive pricing.


And I can't get enough of the Destroy modes. A quick weekend build based on the deactive Unicorn.

Haha, I was considering either black or grey but your post somehow convinced me I should go for matching greyish decals.

It's at 5th floor Tiong Bahru Plaza. Turn left at the lift lobby and walk down the corridor past the Tuition Centre. I was just there last week, unless they've moved already??

 

[bukitview]

I was there last week also, but the shopkeeper doesnt look friendly, suntec one warmer.

Anyone knows what to do in this situation? How to let the vapour out?

Thanks!

Thanks!

just unscrew the clear plastic part of the moisture trap and wipe away the vapour

 

[Bryson]

Thanks, I tried unscrew the clear part but it seems so tight.
