In reply to: Ketwaroo posted an update in the group Beginner Modeler - Modeling Competition 2017ViewGreetings. I present my possible entry for the plamo competition, assuming I don\'t mess it up half way. At Beginner level, I will attempt Aoshima\'s 1/24 scale Back to the Future DeLorean. This is not gunpla and not the regular snap fit models I\'m used to either. Plastic cement is required at every step so there\'s much less room for undoing assembly mistakes. This will definitely be a challenge. Even though the instructions suggest it\'s the car from the first movie, the chassis has the the option to rotate the wheels out and down like the second movie and there are \"Mr Fusion\" decals included. I\'m hoping that maybe I can build the flying version instead of the one with the lightning hook. Second picture is my progress for the first day. Had to stop because the plastic cement I was using wasn\'t working that well on the chromed inner rims of the wheels. And the only other strong glue I had on hand has a 24 hour curing period.Very much welcome, mate! Finally some fresh air, not just Gundams.

In reply to: khrlefsf posted an update in the group What are you building?ViewHye, I\'m new here and new to gunpla world :) hope will be your friend. I just completed 2 MG & 2 RG kit, Strike Rouge, GP03S, Wing Gundam Zero EW & Freedom Gundam respectively. Now I\'m gonna build a very old 1/60 scale kit RX-78 GUNDAM from 1980\'s. I buy this kit first before those two MG & RG but no time to build. Cheers, happy gunpla :)Wow, 1980 kit, looks like you have lots of paint work to do.

In reply to: DongChen posted an update in the group Beginner Modeler - Modeling Competition 2017ViewHG RX-178 Step 2 done! Sprayed a coat of semi gloss clear coat. Next step I will do some hand paint according to the picture.Paint stays on lacquer better than bare plastic. Also I’m using both acrylic and enamel, enamel makes plastics crack if not coated.

Not saying your doing anything wrong but can I ask why you coated it prior to painting?
