Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

Got the same one too. Just that some of the decal sides are very easily broken into bits and pieces. So just be really careful. And also, it seem to be thick. Take quite a while for softer to stick it on to the plastic

haha .dont really like this brand . might wait and see if bandai or any other brand will release the decal

Kinda new to gundam modelling here, looking to get a hobby knife. Any recommendations? I have heard about Tamiya, x-acto knives and wondering which one to get?

This is one shop that one user recommended.

He has mentioned that they can ship the paints to SG.

I bought most of my paints from taobao, and uses its own forwarder 4px. Shipment arrives usually within 10 days. As long as i don't buy sprays, should be fine.

Maybe, once Hobby Point ends their discounts for the paints.

Hobby Point at Bras Besah has been selling Gaia and Mr Hobby paints with a 10% discount for the past 2 months, so I have been visiting them for new paints and some top ups.

How much ml per bottle and how much per bottle

The standard Mr Hobby paints are in 10ml bottles and cost $2.80 each after the discount.

The Gaia EX white and black is $12.90 before discounts, 50ml bottles. Their standard paints are $4 each before discount and in 18ml bottles.

 

[Errz]

and 121 Star Bright Silver vs gaianotes Ex-07.

I use EX cause they are found in large capacity than standard paints, 50ml vs 15ml. And the two EX I am using happens to be main colours too, white and black.

The white was used to mix with the pink used for the MG Freedom some time back, and the black is used as the base colour for my metallics applied onto the PG Unicorn Bazookas.

As for the silver, I am unable to help as I do not have the 121 and EX-07. I am using the 009 bright silver though, mix it and thin it well, it gives a very good shiny metal looks.
