Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

Hi guys, does anyone use matt top coat before? I just built a sd gundam with foil stickers. Can I actually spray a layer of top coat over the kit? Will the foil stickers be affected? Thank u

You can. But your foil sticker will be shiny anymore.

Some problems occurred with Skycart.

My order consisted mainly of Creos and Gaia paint along with a 500ml Gaia Brushmaster thinner. And that very thinner caused my order to be on hold till I responded to their query about the cancellation of the thinner.

Guess I will have to pay like 5-8 quid more for that thinner here in SG.

i was worried thinner might be harder to go thru ...that's why i didn't buy it via taobao.

but at least paint no issues. the saving quite alot

Standard Creos(Mr Hobby) paint is at $3.10 each at Hobby Point before discount.

Gaia's basic colours should be $4 each at Hobby Point before discount, that's what I see on the tag when I bought the gunmetal paint.

i was at taobao, and i saw a few "shops" selling Creos Paint, but for the prices it shows about $1+. If I were to purchase, do i have to buy the whole series? Or, is selected paint color possible.

Select the quantity you want to purchase, and upon check out, there is a text box for you to enter the specifics.

Like C28 x4, C76 x2 etc. You will have to know the product codes for each individual paint.

faster because no need to clean airbrush? or because ur spraycan can cover a wider area?

 

[Errz]

cover wider area i guess. how can i do that with airbrush? higher psi?

think i need more patient bah lol . guess am feeling tired as i can only do painting at night after 11pm.
