From the notes in the photo. It said that dipping the sticker to the water will allow easy reposition of the sticker. As you know, the sticker is hard to reposition after stick into the model. Dipping into the water allow you to move it when the sticker is on the model surface.

Only two major gripes- Stickers. These always go directly into the garbage. If I can't paint on certain details, I'd much rather use water-slide decals. The dry transfer decals are ok too, but stickers? Come on. Exposed polycaps. Many of the newer kits do a good job hiding them, or replacing them w...

I think bad weapon handleing on hand can fixed with double side tape. You don't play the model after complete it right? If not, your model will worst and worst until you need to use superglue to hold it.

If you don't want to play with putty (the smell is not good). You can use super glue to do the same job. However, you need to sand it more carefully as superglue is harder than PE plastic. Moreover, i think this is your best way to remove seam line for ABS plastic as normal glue does not work on ABS

Currently, I'm in the process of building the old 1/100 V2 with Assault and Buster equipment. For such an old kit, it's got a surprising amount of detail and "stuff" throughout the structure, and looks pretty good for a kit of its age. My only complaints would be the amount of gaps that a...

I think only gundam wing and X-gundam have serious amount of panel line. Rest of them are in reasonable amount. Like F91 series.

I think that is the starting line they use glueless design. Anything before that...... Depends how good you are and what is your expectation. I will not touch any kits that is design before 1990 Actually a vast majority of GunPla is glueless. Bandai's entire model strategy was about making the proc...

The HG kits which start from 1:100 F91 are within the acceptable range. I think that is the starting line they use glueless design. Anything before that...... Depends how good you are and what is your expectation. I will not touch any kits that is design before 1990

For nasty 3000 round per minutes, RX-78-5 is not good for you. Although it can fire at 3000 round per minutes, the clip only hold 3000 rounds. Moreover, it is set to 5 second before it can cool down. So, i don't think it is as cool as you though. However, for the fire power, it is t90mm round. So th...

What i think the cheapest way to get all tools are walking around the local big tools shop. You always find somethings very similar or exactly the same but different packaging in the model shop and the price much cheaper. For top coating, i think it is better to buy Mr. color one if you are beginner...

Hello! I am planning to buy a ultrasonic cleaner to clean my air brush as some part of the air brush is very hard to reach. Do anybody have any experience using ultrasonic cleaner to clean their air brush? I am always using acrylic paint so i think they will dissolve into water during cleaning. Than...

If you paint your model, don't even try to use marker to panel line your model. Your cannot remove it unless you remove the paint as well.

My one was old 1/144 z-gundam about 1990. This is my first one need to use glue as well. Before that, i only make SD gundam

I have build a 1/100 F91 recentlyl The quality is good but don't expet you can have any pose except standing. Moreover, you may want to check the part before start. I cannot believe that one of the VSRB rifle is missing 20%. So becare before opeing the box

you can easily replace it if you lose one Hardly easy for me. I wouldn't even know what the things are called or where to find them (certainly not at the hardware store), and ordering from overseas is not an option for me. If you don't go to hardware shop to buy screw, where do you want to buy it f...

screws good. Moreover, you can easily replace it if you lose one. I don't know why you don't like it.

Well, in my case. I watch the anime 70% and making model about 30%. As i watch at least twice to all my gundam anime, i don't need to watch it to know where it is. However, i still spend most of my time watching the anime insteading building the model. Although the left hand is holding the model and...

I sometimes watching gundam anime when i building gundam model. However, it is different series most of the time :-). About the mood to build the gundam model, i always have! As my building project is always on (I have so many of them i can building them one after one without stop). Anyway, i agree ...

what i mean is before putting final semi-gloss layer, i need to do the decal and panel line. If the paint is gloss, i can save time on putting another gloss layer on. That's what i mean. It take four extra days if i put the extra gloss layer on.

Here is a question.

I mixed 90% of gloss white with 10% of flat grey. Is the new mix is gloss or flat? It is important to know because i can save a layer of gloss clear if the mix is gloss.
