Q/A & Help Group 8 years, 3 months ago hello guys! I just want to ask for pointers in detailing a gold plated kit. I want to give my Hyaku Shiki the details it should have like in some parts of the shoulders, side and front skirts but I’m scared that if I mess up it will completely ruin the kit. can someone help me? thank you! 🙂 <3

I’m assuming you mean to panel line(and possibly weather) the kit. Very easy problem to solve. Just get top coat the kit with a gloss coat that wont dull or over power the shine of the gold. basically, get varying degrees of gloss coat, and test them on the empty runners(or any extra parts). keep track of which is which, and you’ll know which gloss you need to use. After that, you can panel line and weather the kit without ruining the gold finish.
in terms of painting touch up the nub marks by just adding like a dash of gold paint to it to cover up the nubs and for the other stuff thats not gold just paint it i dont think u need to panel line the gold at all so dont do that and use a very very very very very thin coat of gloss coat onto it yea u need to protect the gold but do a very thin coat
thanks but I don’t really need to touch up on the nub marks. luckily for me the under gates worked like a charm for the most part. but panel lining the gold on appropriate places like on the front skirts, side skirts, forehead and on the shoulders would make it look even better than just plain gold all over.
thanks for the tips…might try the gloss top coat cause I want to add the appropriate lining and detailing.
