Hello CBrain,
I do recall they sell "tingi" in ginebra bottles or in 1 pint can aside from that you can also buy 3M sandpapers. I usually get the 600 and 1000 grit ... opps don't forget rubbing compound..also in tingi..baka meron nang "sachet" pack :-)

There are rows and rows of paint stores in Muntinlupa (Tunasan) by the National H-way. There's this paint store in San Pedro, Laguna (next to Muntinlupa) called J & B Paint store. They sell Hudson there. It's located along Rizal St. leading to the town proper.

Thanks, I daily ply the Susana Heights route to get to the Putatan area in Muntinlupa but that's usually before 7am and after 6pm so most of those stores are closed at those times. I'll try to go "thinner" hunting hopefully during Sundays (hope the shops are open) when traffic isn't that bad in Tunasan enroute to San Pedro. For now I'll use the Gunze paint thinner in the 50 ml bottle I bought yesterday.

Do they sell Hudson in the J&B paint shop you mentioned in "tingi" packs?

guys i really nid ur help! #:-)
and btw the decal borders started to show up after applying lacquer clear flat on it.....is it like that?

Gunze lacquers dry to the touch in a short time(maybe 10 mins or even shorter)depending on the humidity. But it doesn't mean that it can be roughly handled already. If your paint is still "wet" after quite some time, then the paint that the lacquer was applied on may have been compromised, which I'm sad to say, may be a problem. Just leave it alone first and observe.

b) Gasoline/kerosene smell - ordinary paint thinner

Save up on those stirring sticks at Starbucks and Seattle's Best.

n what i mean soft is that i tried to scratch it off with my nails after a day n it still chips off that easily so i was wondering if it affected the base paint thus it wont cure

Ever tried priming the model first for better adhesion?

How do you paint the model? Do you coat it layer by layer or do you apply a heavy coat right away?

May nakita akong Ginebra bottles of unbranded lacquer thinner sa isang hardware sa Metropoint Pasay Rotonda. About 20 pesos each.

elo.... what's the usual paint consistency for brush painting? i mean, the proportion that has been sorta like the rule of thumb to avoid runs, blotches and brush stroke lines?

thanks!

First of all welcome to Cbrain21 and CSMeekai.

CSMeekai: If you are interested in using brush and acrylic, there is an article in the May 2002 issue of FSM (Fine Scale Modeler) not FHM re: Basics of Brush Painting by Jeff Wilson. You can get the PDF file from http://www.finescale.com/fsm/objects/pdf/basicsofbrushpainting.pdf or you can look for the magazine.....

hope this helps

Nyay, hehehe. Di ko na kasi tinitignan tong thread na to. Ok, with regards to consistency, basta ang flow ng liquid na parang pasteurized milk. Madali lang naman kung meron kang different sizes ng brushes. I have sable brushes 0,2,4,6 and 2/0 (can anyone tell me why it's called 2/0?) and loads of different sizes of toothpicks. If you go over my website, you can see my T-72, M1025 and M966 all done with brushes with the exception of silver undercoat (T-72) and matt finish

CSMeekai: Good. . BTW, you live in the South of MM...the only guy I know that lives in the south is GIBeregovoy....
