well zeta already has lots of blue on it but I guess you mean the whole thing in different shades of blue, anyways it sort of depends on what effect your going for, but well see my icon….hint hint. ok seriously though if you’re gonna do a blue scheme then megaman is as good a starting point as any.
Hey Guys, I’m just getting into airbrushing and I’m looking to get Tamiya masking tape. What millimeter tape should I get? It ranges from .5MM to 40MM. Thanks!
to add to that just a bit, regular masking tape can leave behind a sticky residue, the proper stuff is better about that, though I won’t go as far as to say it’ll never happen I’ll say it’s less likely.
Hi guys! I’ll post the same question on a few threads here so that it’s easier for it to become an attention grabber. I’m looking for the best high gloss varnish that I can get. Also, I’m thinking about Liquitex high gloss varnish. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
I recommend not posting the same thing on different threads, it just annoys people and make them not want to help usually.
as for the high gloss finish, “future floor polish” is the general big recommendation. but just as important as the product is the surface prep, if it’s not smooth it won’t shine.
Hey folks, still prepping to start my sazabi but i was curious if i should snap build this thing first before i start my painting or just paint as i go, like i have been doing. i’ll be hand painting and using a totally different color scheme.
Painting while it’s snapped isn’t easy unless you modify the parts, some people on youtube (including “theghostofzeon” who was the australian entry for the gundam world cup) do tutorials on this, mostly peg cutting so they can snap kits together and then pull them apart without risking parts damage when pulling it apart again.
Right now i paint as a go, but seem lines bother me tremendously so im very mindful of how and what im painting and when. i was really curious because of this kit having so many moving panels, what method would be easier. I would be VERY nervous about peg cutting on this kit, so i will be very limited on my test fitting.
well it really depends on a couple of things. From your question I’m assuming what you really want to know is if you should paint the model assembled or in pieces, so I’ll focus mostly around there. Now then you mention hand painting and a color scheme, now if you’re gonna do some sort of intricate details like hand painting a logo or something…[Read more]
The hand painting technique is just the method of choice due to limited budget and my extreme familiarity with the medium. I find that using “green stuff” (miniature 2-part epoxy filler) cleans up seem lines fairly well and also sticks to the prime that i use so thats not really an issue. Primary concern is the amount of tolerance between parts,…[Read more]
green stuff… you do warhammer miniatures. Yes green stuff will get in there rather nicely but once again you’ll have to paint over that and so you’ll want those parts together still, as for the casting lines it’s fairly easy to clean up, and Bandai to begin with is pretty good about them to begin with, but all you do is scrape it with your…[Read more]
does anyone know a site that sells replacement parts broke a piece of sazabi ver ka kinda upset about it i tried gg said they dont sell and then i went to genteikits and it said they only sell until like their part paid 50 or something like that i dont know how to buy it on genteikits since im new to it but just wondering are there any other sites…[Read more]
Genteikits is currently down, due to the enormous amount of orders they’ve been receiving. Wait on that.
Did you buy the kit from HLJ? If you did, they give free replacement parts for ones broken or defective out of packaging. It’s only for orders placed within the past ten days, though.
Well ,when gentei kits works again its a simple order form (it may change though from what I just seen), order the parts, check emails, then pay the invoice later on, seems odd but it works…but again it may change since now they order the parts like normal customers of bandai replacement parts.
its sort of a combination of a gelgoog 2.0 head on the back with that fin but bumped up with an rx 78 top piece mabe take that off an rx and just glue it onto the top of the gelgoog and bump the fin to the back of it either that or probably scratch build one yea prob scratchbuilding it might make it look more exact
Better off googling italian red and maybe a car so you get an idea of the finish…results may differ depending on skill.
OR if you have it on hand try painting a plastic spoon and see if you like the finish, I gotta get around to doing this, I have the same red…and a rebawoo to try it out on!
