Gundam color by Mr. Hobby are all lacquer base. But with more experience modeler, they can see there are normal paint color also a gundam color except normal color is lot more cheaper than Gundam color, lol.
And no, Mr. Hobby Acrylic is nothing special, they don’t need special thinner too. It just a market business. You can thinned down with any…[Read more]

Gaianotes Starbright silver, follow by clear yellow or clear orange (you can mix both to create better effect too).
Alcad II chrome, follow by alcad clear color.
Mr. Hobby metal color stainless silver, follow by clear yellow.

And do remember to clear coat it. 😛
cheers. 🙂

question 2. There won’t be a prefect fit on it, maybe a little modify over it… 🙂 and I don’t get what do you mean on question 1. Is the funnels/bazooka connector too loose or the plastic itself? thanks. 🙂

If you only build Gundam, then you only need 5 tools.
1. Plastic side cutter, 2. Pen knife (hooby knife), 3. Tweezer, 4. Cement glue, 5. sand paper or sanding stick.
Most Gundam only need these tools, there are only few MG need a extra tools – screw driver. These MG are the same era of 08 MS team kit like Gouf Custom, EZ8, RX-79[G], etc.

There are many way to make it work.

I not sure about MicroSol, you might want to do some search on it.

Mark Softer. It work best with mark setter. This is the way how I do it, and I not sure others.
1. Wet the surface, lay your decal on the surface.
2. careful clear the water on the surface and under the decal with a saber brush.
3. then comb…[Read more]

Try Gunze aka Mr. Hobby spray can.

Gunze spray can. It sprayed out in mist unlike Tamiya in spread. For much more easy control, Gunze is much better, on the other hand, Tamiya got more brighter color choice than Gunze. And if you only build Gundam, then is fine using only Gunze… because all instruction booklet of Gundam use Gunze color. Cheers. 🙂

Could you tell me what step you did so far on this? Is the blue stuff resin? silicon mold or clay for mold? thanks. 🙂

Play too much like what masterDS64 said. Use too much force on fitting A and B together, it will break. Using Tamiya enamel wash with Tamiya enamel thinner on panel lining,, it will crack on most Bandai kit too… lol.

Just handle with care, and you model will last long. Is nothing about the hot weather. I live in Singapore, 12 months also…[Read more]

No. It won’t have the scratch mark if you handle the pose more careful. I sprayed all flat coat and clear coat on my Gundam. And on and off, I will strike a different pose.

Yes. The clear coat and paint will make the joint stiff. That is no way to avoid.

Scratch the parts is pretty common. One more tips, do not spray primer, paint and clear…[Read more]

You got a jackpot! you got the shopaholic illness already. Because buying make us happy but short term. The we unhappy, we buy again and it will never stop. There is always sales, cheap shipping… I myself sometime also hard to resist it. Maybe you can add everything in the…[Read more]

I think you are saying those old skool MSV kit that take at least 10 years to come back. I remember I ordered a old msv 1/100 Zogok (the one that UC gundam got in HGUC), it took me 10 years to locate it, I also ask me friend to help me search for it during their Japan trip. lol…. but after that, it reissue…

I do agree not all always come…[Read more]
