Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[Errz]

since u already pasted the sticker, it will not be possible to paint anymore.
but u can still do sanding for some parts and then do a flat coat.

just be very careful then removing the pieces coz RG parts are small and can break easily

i used wet decal. only few stickers. Will need to get decal again if i going to re-do/paint the kit. but dunno when that's going to happen.

still have MG strike freedom and 2 more RG.

This air pump will keep on pumping even when you stop using the airbrush. Will this damage the pump over time or you just switch it off and on it back when you start spraying?

It is a pump for an aquarium to begin with, so this is not an issue.

Personally, when I have to stop for a break, I will turn it off.

guys, need advise,

if im going to use spray can to paint back the gundam original colour, do i still need to apply primer first?

It will be good to apply the primer, it allows the paint to 'stick' onto the parts better.

Pleased to have the jubilee weekend used to a good effect to a certain extent.

Finished up the gunmetal coat for the inner frame.

Completed the painting for one set of external pieces in pink, began the painting for the next set as well.

I use Mr hobby spray can, get from Mws or hobby art gallery at sunshine plaza.

Im aware of the spray cans but I feel they can be very costly since a can usually dun last long. What I meant to say is that has anyone tried using other floor polishing wax to try and gloss coat their kits?

this one

this one

God Hand nippers. Good for cutting gunpla from runners, and that's about it.

For other cutting purposes, this God Hand nipper may give way easily. Good to have a Tamiya nipper around for all purpose use.

Can try taobao also. Generally easier to find loose pieces there.

found one shop selling

PG/MG parts

you'll need to contact the seller to confirm if they have the parts first.

What I usually do is type the name of the gundam parts I am looking for and sort by price. It's usually those than priced at 1 RMB. You have to contact the seller to ask for the price.
