http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/1100-mg-sazabi-ver-ka/ – what I did was three different undercoats – white, grey and black and the same red on top of each. That gave me the differentiation I needed. I dunno if that works with your spray cans, but you could experiment and see.
First I put down an undercoat of either Alclad gloss black, grey, or white primer. Then the red I used was Createx pearl red. I then finished with a coat of Tamiya clear red on top.
alright, this question may not be related to anything about gunplay, but has anyone here ever participated in GBWC before and when they say to take three pics of your model, does all the pics need to have the diorama in it as well or just your model only? All answers accepted
Hello, got another question, this time…TITANIUM FINISH!
No, its not touching up a kit with it, but im after the look…on a hg unicorn unicorn mode (so my hg banshee unicorn mode titanium finish doesn’t stand alone you see).
Now I heard of doing base coats of silver and clear…but is there a clear white, never seen such a thing , so would…[Read more]
as far as I know clear white doesn’t exist. Tamiya pearl white I have used and it’s very translucent. In other words you’re gonna need multiple coats for it to look white, in my experience about 3 coats is pretty good, as for a titanium finish. Also it’s very sparkly, when it’s still wet if you get it into the sunlight it’s really something…[Read more]
Rattlecanning…I can’t hand paint well either due to rubbish brush strokes so that rules that out (but if you know anyway other than air brush id like to hear any and all methods, effective or not!)
I was about to say maybe i could hand paint using that but…it says not too :c
I heard alot about the alclad range, well, its not that i don’t have access to an airbrush (yet) but the space involved is my problem (only place i could use it houses 2 cars and air brushing outside aint wise XD)…
But thank you anyway, ill bookmark that incase…[Read more]
The Jesta HG Cannon looks pretty sick. I would recommend an RG Kit but most of them are 2000 yen with of them being 2400. What kind of design are you looking for? Military look, more swords, more guns etc.?
Yes, exactly what I was looking for, and high grade kits are supposed to be really good! Thanks!
I prefer a more military look, after all, why would you bring a knife to a gunfight?
The RX-78-2 does look great, but sadly it goes out of my budget- I got exactly Â¥1,696 remaining from the PWP prize (thank you HLJ overlords), but yeah the RX does have it’s swag-
I took a look at it. It is indeed a flying ball with a gun on it.
I read a review and it does seems to be a great kit, and even though I’m sure in the future we will be quite happy flying around in our giant balls shooting stuff around, I would go with a more “mechy” thing this time. Joke aside it does seems to be a great kit.
You must apply a clear or flat coat after putting decals. These are transparent paints that protect the decal. I remember I was like you when I bought my 1st kit-1/72 Tornado Valkyrie-totally ruined the decals because I didn’t know about this too,lolz. You could look for replacement decals on HLJ or Ebay.
