Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[tissuepaper]

tried to dismantle the arms part...but one part i cant seems to get it out lol. maybe will try on RG destiny .

can go daiso buy the $2 drill. 1.0mm and 1.5mm or something like this.
before fitting both parts in, drill slightly into the hole so it get "slightly enlarge"
for easier removal next time. but dont drill too much or else it might get too loose.

 

[Errz]

for hole, think should be drilling using pin vice? and scribing Panel Lines

eg the knee, thigh area where there's small hole.
and shoulder spike there is a small rectangular shape.
any one knows how to achieve this ? what tools to use ?

Haven't done gunpla for a long time
Feeling lazy, can I airbrush the entire assembled inner frame?
Maybe just prime than gunmetal?


Do people usually just do a simple spray paint?

Coz I used to do pre shading, but I noticed many display models outside just make do with a flat paint

depends wat u want to achieve and wat u are satisfied with lah. hobbies are meant to be enjoyed, dun have to care wat other ppl are doing. some ppl are happy with just snapfitting, others want to do shading and weathering... end of the day, as long as u enjoy the hobby can already


those on display on toy department and even those in the gundam fair at taka, a lot are just snap fit and flat coat without painting. some dun clear seamlines and nub marks and panel line with markers

Dark blue, yes. For black, it will depends on the surface area and where are they located.

Yah, black lines. Need to check which models I have completed had lines over the darker parts.

Quick question....

For prime airbrush...do you guys do it even if the base plastic color is white?
