Building SD Alex 2/9 (filling and covering holes)

[Zofnok]

hey, i never thought about using epoxy to make the gundam figures more complete, although, i no longer build gundams, great idea though.

[jayko657]

how come you only used 1 glove while mixing the epoxy?

[ayamcupu]

how if useing Mr. hobby "mr. white putty"?? do you need to mix it with other putty??? thanks

[lhasarus]

@ayamcupu

I never used Mr. White Putty but I wouldn't mix it with other puttys because they mostly use different thinners which will cause a big mess if you mix it...

[gundamexia95]

after u mix the epoxy putty and it is still soft y u take off your glove and do it?is it safe

[lhasarus]

@gundamexia95

After that I used tools to form it and didn't touch it any more.

[jayko657]

lol holes everywhere

i know its cheaper and all,but couldnt they at least cover holes before selling them in stores?

[pattyboy1001]

what is the difference between the smooth type and the quick type

[lhasarus]

The name says it. One results in a better surface and the other cures faster. I prefer the smooth one.

[frow55]

Nice, never thought of using a credit card as plaplate.

[lhasarus]

As long as it's polystyrene ^^

I never bought pla-plate cause i don't understand why one should buy it if you throw away lots and lots of plastic away in your everyday life ^^

[Ravagehyperkill]

Wow, honestly this is a very educational vid ^_^

I can see the effort ur doing w/ ur models and I'm truly amazed ^_^ I just wish I have time to build models w/ such high caliber techniques

[ssnake11]

will the left over epoxy harden up if u left it there ?

[lhasarus]

Yes. And there is no use for a hardened epoxy worm ^^

Last time I had too much left over I sculpted the hand of SD Force Impulse Gundam. Epoxy is nice for creating new stuff too ^^

[Vancoustique]

[lhasarus]

I learned it from better modelers. Go to gunpla boards like:

Zero G (malaysia)

(its hard to find. Google for ngeekhiong and click on the Zero G link on the left side)

Fichtenfoo (usa)

plamo.outthere (singapore)

hobby fanatics (usa)

plamo de (germany)

Read WIP and tutrial posts and watch those stunning finished models. I've got most of my knowledge by reading in these forums.

Ask someone at Zero G if you don't know where to get supplies. They should help you. I've got mine from HLJ
