    Hey guys I was wondering how some of you all come up with custom paint jobs. like what gives you the idea or how do you konw it will look good??

    • I think it’s different for everyone. mostly I think it’s just going about your everyday life when you see something and get to thinking, “hey what if?” and from that “what if” you go about your idea. it’s not really something that’s simple to explain cause it really could be anything. if you like a color maybe you just want to work it in then you realize that maybe some of the other colors around it wouldn’t look good so you change some of them and keep going from there. Or maybe you’re playing a game, lets say Metroid Well Samus’ power suit has these green energy lines going through it “wouldn’t that look cool on a gundam?” well give it a try and see. You don’t really know till you try it though I don’t think, till then it’s a concept that you think may work. Pretty much you just take inspiration from things you see.

    • personally i just throw some paint on a kit and hope it dosen’t look like crap. My Sazabi Ver Ka is the prime example. Im working on a custom color nu-gundam right now and im thinking about a color scheme for my hi-nu with the HWS. I’m thinking about replacing the purple with a burnt orange but im still in the planning process on that one.

    • Generally I’ll refrain from a full paint job on my Master grades, as the white plastic generally looks better then any white paint, lol. I will paint certain parts to fill in the areas that are the wrong color.

      Other then that, custom paint jobs are related to whatever theme I’m going with. So generally, my kits will see mostly military style paint schemes. It’s my Custom builds that get the creative color schemes. If you’re doing a particular theme for the build, it makes it easier to create the color scheme.

      • for me i just think about the gundam and then look up online at some cool kits and then get an idea out of it usually i keep it in my mind and imagine it if it would look nice

    • research, for me I look some similar kits with customs paints online then if I’m not satisfied or something pop-up on my mind i will try the color scheme by providing a linework of the kit then photoshop to try the formulated color scheme. If the color scheme is bad on the photoshop, I will not continue the scheme then try another one.
