I wonder what goes through the minds of the modelers who did these.

Don't forget to get a can of Bosny primer grey, you can get that cheap in a hardware outside the mall ^_^ Grab some various grits of sandpaper as well, and sand the parts nicely before priming.
TOA and Pylox are easier to use than Bosny though they are more expensive.
And yeah, do that test bed well, so that you won't regret your job on the FA Unicorn, coz that guy ain't exactly cheap.
've started sanding when I got my sinanju bazooka, so it won't be an issue. And I think I'll go for a MR hobby or tamiya surface primer, too scared to try bosny primer. and I have a FG blue frame to test out so it'll be fine.
If you're scared of using bosny primer, you should be more scared of using bosny paints (man bosny paints are thick as heck really, but their primer does its job well) XD Bosny primer is not corrosive otherwise it won't be even called a primer and defeat its own purpose. And if they are harmful, all of my painted kits would have fallen apart rignt about now, as well as for those pro modelers who actually suggested for me to use the thing. Also, just a bit of a warning, don't be surprised if you use primers and they produce a slightly grainy finish, according to experience and to everything I read even tamiya and mr hobby primers and surfacers still produce a slightly grainy surface, however, once you paint it over the finish would be smooth and fine depending on the way on how you actually sprayed on the part.
Anyways, it's up to you and I wish you good luck.
However, I use Mr.hobby flat coat for a final finish, because it produces a very fine finish, as long as you spray it right.
damn, lots of edits Still not used to the ipad T.T

So I'm wondering, for the panel lining and detailing part, gloss coat right? then for the finishing touches, flat coat. Right? Also, if I apply a gloss coat layer first, dirt won't penetrate up to the paint right?

So I just saw the MG Banshee gundam at my local comic store about a week ago. I stood there staring at it for a good 30 mins before Jason, the store owner, came up to me asking me I wanted to buy it. I'll post images of it when I can. Right now I'm just cutting off the studs and using sandpaper to smooth the parts out.

Yeah, basically that's the gist of it, in my case after I apply panel lines and decals I add another gloss coat before applying the final flat coat, of course flat is not the only finish that you can work with, you can settle for gloss or semi-gloss as well . Gloss coats offer a better protection against dirt and scratches in my experience, because you can just wipe off the dirt that might cling to the surface.
And if may I suggest,use Pledge Wipe and Shine floor polish for your gloss coat. You will need to brush it onto the parts, but it's self leveling so that's why it's very easy to use, and it's very cheap to boot.
Here's a tutorial for you:

And, on a side note since classes were suspended today, I took a pic of what I was able to do with the SD Ex-S before school started. Almost all of the parts are still in gloss except for the head, torso and shoulders. I'm really gonna buff up the puny boosters that came with the kit, and replace them with after market boosters, as well as add a Radome Disk for the beam smartgun, which the kit didn't include T_T

where can I get that polish? does it have the same effect as the spray?

You can get them at department stores easily, and at ACE too. Yes, it does have the same effect as spray, even better if I say so myself.

You're kidding, right? If you put funnels on the Unicorn, mix it up with Hi-Nu a bit and put Amuro in the cockpit. Everyone's screwed, give up Zeon, it's over.

Was supposed to finish priming my kit today, but, it rained very hard, so i was unable to do so.
