Update 11/09/2009: Finally found some alligator clips, so made a part two of this tutorial using the alligator clips.
Decided to make my own painting clips like the ones being sold to model builders by the hobby industry. Ideally I would have wanted to use the standard alligator clips but I wasn’t able to find any of that type. What I found in my local hardware store that was small enough to grip even the minutest part were miniature battery clips. They cost about $1.10 for a 4 pack.

Finished assembling the Rick Dias that I was building a few days ago. After we got some good weather around my parts, decided to take some still shots of the completed project. I decided to skip the decaling step and just leave it as is, without its AEUG markings.

Here’s a lucky find, a plastic primer paint from TOA paint of Thailand. Its supposed to be Acrylic Lacquer based and works ideally for ABS, PVC and PP plastic types. It’s cheap too at only $2.30 per 400 cc can. The color of the primer coming out of the can is white. The plastic primer was originally created for preparing the surface of the plastic parts of motorcycles so that the final paint can stick easily onto the surface.

While waiting for paint to dry during my assembly of the Rick Dias MG, I was looking at the color guides for the different scales of the Gundam Exia at Hobby Search. This was in preparation of the Gundam Exia I purchased from HW Japan that I’m hoping will arrive in a couple of weeks.
