Phrozhen.Khold Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 1st question: pano po pag smooth out ng edges sa mga pinagtanggalan? i used to have an idea na to sand it but iba na yung color eh.. or do we really have to sand it then just bring back the color? thanks! newbie lang in this hobby po You can sand it using a grade 1000, 1500, or 2000 sandpaper... but I suggest you use grade 2000... then of course you would have to repaint the part... some people even use a primer before painting it with the color that they like... but if you're not into that work and you're being lazy... I suggest you use a cutter to even it out... :cool: Quote Link to comment

I dont really recommend them since the pressure that you get from them is limited and you might end up with a Gundam that looks like its in a paintball battle instead of an actuall mech battle... I found a nifty tutorial in youtube and this might be useful to you... and by the way... there are no sub-titles Gundam Building Tutorial Quote Link to comment

I saw somewhere that the Iwata Deluxe set that I'm hoping my GF's sister would buy costs around $300+ and since its gonna be bought in Japan I'm hoping it would be cheaper... the Tamiya airbrush is actually good but I read in the Scale Modelling thread that the hose oozes in time so I suggest you just replace the hose... its actually good for its price... it sells for about 5K in Lils at SM Megamall... For custom colored Gundam kits... some people just fancied to try a color combination they had in mind... but to do this you MUST have a template of your kit and color it using crayons or colored pencils to see if it would look good (thats what I do anyway) Its all up to your imagination... my advice make it simple... and easy to do... and more importantly... it wont make your Gundam looked like it was recycled Quote Link to comment
