Most of the inner frame is cover except for the joints. But the frame is so nicely detailed I had to paint it. At least the barbatos frame is more exposed
lookin forward to the full mechanics vidar. It seems that the frame is quiet visible on it. If I think about all the work I spent on the shadow fox’s frame, that is not seen at all…
I working on the outer armor part of MG Thunderbolt FA Gundam, There’s some line on it, but my enamel grey tamiya panel line not really shows up, what should I use?
Hey ho! Going through my older builds, thought I would show you the Geara Zulu I rattled off. Did this one for funsies, I wanted ot take a break for full repaint builds, so…
Actually there was no sponging on this at all – I used chipping fluid and Ammo Streaking Grime ^_^
I build in subassemblies – on a full paint job that can be a hundred parts on skewers being painted up, but for this build I detailed some bits before assembly, and then weathered the sub-units e.g. legs, arms, torso, head etc. I painted loads of…[Read more]
Chipping Fluid,gives you this result.. I always use a proxxon for chiping and put the fluid back into the box. I have to try it. Actually the two 1/35 scale mechas I built lately are perfect for this. Some tips or technics?
The trick is you are using enamels over the chipping fluid, not acrylics. Basically, spray on your chipping fluid as normal, then AS SOON as it is dry, I sprayed over a light coat of Ammo by Mig Streaking Grime (enamel). Then AS SOON as that is on the model, gently work over the streaking grime with a brush moistened in water, and it hopefully…[Read more]
I see Isee. So it is just the streaking you create with this technic. I thought the actuall chipping too. But this was made by drybrushing. But I found some other ejtertaining Playlists in your channel. I have an unpainted Stein on my shelf and a few Ideas in my head. Maybe your budgetbuild is giving me some insoirations. I would have all the…[Read more]
The Mig stuff is just really nice to use for weathering – it’s what Mig is known for. AK Interactive have similar products (Mig Jimenez used to work for them before he left to set up Ammo by Mig) and essentially they are designed for specific weathering effects so that you don’t have to make your own by mixing or thinning enamel paints. I haven’t…[Read more]
I have a c9mplete set of artist oil colors and always wanted to to try using it as washes. But as someone said… now you have to wait for at least 5!days… I lost all my interrest .. 😀
Never used Mig stuff, but I like the idea of having a metalball in the bottle. Vellejo has also a hughe set of effect and weathering paints. And far bejond.…[Read more]
Hey folks! Thought you might like to see my recently completed 1/60 No Grade Strike, all painted up with acrylics, enamels, oils, and Mr Metal Colours for the frame. A fun build, if a little basic in the kit features. It’s not a PG but a little effort make make a fine cabinet filler ^_^
This is one serious build. In that scale you can go completely nuts with the paintjob. Surely took some tike, but the result is more that sattisfying. Great one!
Seriously.. this is the 5th time I tried to upload my pictures, but they got lost allways. Its uploading em all, but in the End they disappear.
This sucks.. :C
Most Alclad paints are lacquer based. They have some enamels in their range, mostly the clear paints and they have a water based clear gloss.
They high shine paints from Alclad need a black gloss (white seems to work to, so I’ve seen that is) base coat. If this base colour is sanded and buffed before applying the main coat, the end result will be…[Read more]
Ok the usual gloss black primer. I have several chrome and silver colors, but am not absolutely sattisfied. I have seen Alclad high gloss clear used in several plamu tsugurou episodes, but never this polished aluminum. I hope i can get it in germany.
Du you spray a thin or thik layer? like a glosspaint, creating a single surface? Or do you even…[Read more]
I use an airbrush. I spray the gloss black base coat, let it dry overnight. Then I lightly spray the aluminum, it will start to look like metal after a few passes. I let that dry overnight as well. You have to use the aqua clear. If not, you loose the metal effect. It will look like a silver paint
Ok. I think I will do some testseries with combinations of different chrome and clear paints. Never thought about the clreargloss to be the most vital component. Always tried to get the finish out of the chrome/silver itself.
You need to use a gloss black first for alclad to get the most reflection for the shiny metals. I also have a powder you wipe on a glossy blue to get a polished stainless steel look
UUUuuhh.. metalic purple, shiny metalcolors and nice detailling. this might end up awesome!!
You have to show more of it during the process.
Love it already.
Christmas GUNPLA!!! very nice.
Thank!
