Future Finish?
I kind of want to go past that one… It jost come to as not shiny and smooth enough for me. Though the end result is pretty good and it’s so damn easy to work with I’d be willing to pay more and sweat a bot in order to get that perfect finish. Though, doing some sort of compound clear coat would be a bite too much I guess.
Way too many “thoughs” in that reply, sorry. 😛
I find the FF works well, but as you say, if there’s something better for a “special” gloss finish out there, I’d love to know too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpTm1MBX3K0 this made me think about if there’s something better perhaps. GunPla kits in general can do with FF (Final Fantasy) for that gloss-enough to more or less high gloss finish. I even put FF on straight flat for semi semi flat look. It’s just amazing that the glossines of the finish can be toned up or down in respect of how much of the substance you’re using. This makes Future a well rated top coat in my book and all I can say about is that it’s easy to use and easy to make your model shine, at amazingly low price and little effort. But, as I’ve said, this guy made me think and wonder. And the fact that I’m working on a couple of car kits that need to look as shiny as they can with the flawless surface. Haven’t try buffing it out with something out of fear that it would do it more bad than good.
Right now I’m trying to research as much as I can about Alclads aqua gloss coat but all I can find is that it is, in fact, Future-like to the point that people say it’s identical…
I find if I just lightly dust with FF I get a nice “not too glossy” look, although if I specifically want a flatter look I use the Alclad light sheen (or whatever it’s called).
A gloss that could be buffed nicely would be interesting. Anyone got any ideas for that?
The best gloss coat is urethane clear. All real car use the same type of urethane clear, same goes with most pro builder.
I myself still prefer using Mr. Hobby GX clear and Gaianotes EX- clear.
I don’t think which clear is matter, since car builder will still need to polish it. 🙂
