What are you building? 9 years, 6 months ago Here’s my current build, the main suit itself is pretty much done. Still waiting on the restock of TS39 to come in, then I can finish the backpack. So far it has been a really fun build!
What are you building?
That looks absolutely amazing!
i wana say Photoshop because dame thats a Clean build, nice job bruv.
Did you use spray cans for painting?
Yup, yup, cans. TS stands for TamiyaSpray. Some people get amazing results with cans… I still prefer an airbrush though.
Did you have to mask the black pieces to get the silver emblems? Been thinking I want to try painting mine instead of using the decals.
Yes yes, I sprayed them black first followed by matte top coat. Masked then hand painted the silver using X11.
Cool. Not too confident in my gundam marker or brush painting skills to get the gold on there, but practice makes perfect as they say. Lol!
I recently heard about a reverse panel wash so may try that as well and see what the results look like.
For sure, the amount of kits I destroyed just trying things… well… it really is down to the experience. For the most part, I don’t think there is ever a right and wrong to technics.
Thank you guys! I would love to try an airbrush, limited by space and neighbors ^^
did you use a top coat on the red? and what one did you use?
For the red parts I used the following steps :
Mr. White Surfacer > Tamiya Gloss Aluminum > Tamiya Mica Red.
No topcoat was used.
As for my choice in topcoats :
Gloss : Mr. Super Clear Gloss
Semi / Matte : Tamiya
nice dude you should decal that kit, or even try some custom decals that would look awesome!!!
Thanks! I was going to, I guess I got lazy. It sort of is a nightmare wet sanding 1/144 pieces o_O
