Depends, playing with the kits doesn’t help (hg kits use poly caps which get worn out easily when moved alot) so get a good pose and let it be…

Heat is a factor, I got lucky when I went there but I have heard stories of the heat, if you get serious with your kits and paint/make dioramas/etc a friend of mine suggested getting a climate control…[Read more]

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]

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

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. 🙂

okie, this is just personal exp but, i’ve actually been having some decent luck using future.

i wet the spot first with future, then position the seal (sticker or waterslide), then once in position i dab it down with a bit more, making sure to get along any edges, as the future auto levels, it seems to fill in the edges, pretty much making them vanish.

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]

given that part, a simple 2 part mold down the middle would give you, your best castings. far as mold making, google 2 part mold and I’m sure you’ll find something more eleoquant then i

Something to cut plastic. When I stated I used toenail clippers. LOL.

Seriously, you need nothing else.

I started off with toenail clippers but then soon graduated to using side cutters which area a whole lot easier to use.
You can just get a high grade, no grade or SD and see if you like building gunpla before buying some of the more expensive things (like hobby knives and sand paper). Honestly though, I’ve been building gunpla for about 1.5-2…[Read more]

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.
If you…[Read more]

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. 🙂

you just made me do a bunch of searching to figure out you meant reflective gold. anyways there isn’t really a good way to paint reflective gold, you can get some very good results if you sand and polish things down then use something like Alcad chrome, or Mr.Color super metallic chrome silver, then use clear yellow over that, then use a gloss…[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. 🙂

Best thing you can do to fix gate marks is to not make them in the first place – I tend to be a bit careless about this, and the consequence is that I have to sand and perhaps putty the gate marks prior to painting. But you can avoid doing that repair work if you do the initial cutting more carefully: Careless cutting will actually tear out some…[Read more]
