  by the way do you guys know where i can get good model paints for the model?
  
  last time i bought from the store in marina and far east but some of the paints inside like spoil wan. its eiother they have dried up or is diluted.
  
  i tried searching online but somehow those american e-stores will only ship the paints inside united states only.

  Let this be a warning to all . If you are a novice model maker , its best not to do the Titanic model . Well , for mine , it is from Academic (forgot scale) . However , without proper tools such as side cutters & modeling knife , it is very hard to get small and fragile pieces out intact. I broke alot of it while doing mine.
  
  But now i got a few tools, a knife (engraving knife) , side cutter and a tape . I have some other tools as well . Total cost for the tools only , is almost $90. The knife alone cost well over $30 .
  
  Another thing u certainly need , is a good file. Titanic model (using mine as a reference) is a tight fit. Without filing , there are remaining plastics left from the sprue. Then the model won't look nice anymore.
  
  Oh yes , my Titanic model came painted to the exact colour , hence eliminated any need for painting. Maybe you can try the Academic one the next time.

  Never keep the paint over a long period after opening . It will dry up. Even after capping , it will still dry up. My Tamiya plastic glue dried up like that also.
  
  For paints , im still a novice , but maybe you can get it from brands such as Mr.Colour (Gunze Sangyo or Mr Hobby) . Their paint are quite used by advanced model makers.
  
  As for tools such as knife , i got mine from Hasegawa . Their tools are very good as well (esp files and knife).
