Not sure if I’m completely done with this kit or not, but pretty happy with what I’ve got done so far anyway. This is on old HG Serpent Custom from 1998. Here I’ve completely…
That was a serious Battle for sure. You definatly have to do something with the scars. If metal cooles down after beeing red glowing hot, it becomes some kind of a darker blueish grey. I would go for that and maybe keep some of the edges dark red glowing.
Check some lasercuttet industrial metalparts. Outside where the temp wasnt hot enough do melt the metal, it will change the color from the grey directly at the cutting edge to a yellowish brown a bit further away. Hehe depends on how much effort you want to put in it.
I though, what for tanks works, might do it here as well. Its my first Mech.. Think that it is a bit obersized for that scale, but not inacceptable, or unrealistic. Ok it is an constuct from another dimension and has higher powers, but the japanese seawater in the air seems to be stronger.. 😀
Thank you for comment. That was not priming yet.. just showing the inner frame that amaze me to look at. As usual i will unassembled all parts to do painting.
After a LONG hiatus,
The RGB Unicorn project is up and running again 🙂
Managed to fit 37 RGB neopixel leds in there, and am tempted to add blue leds to the verniers too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPeToU0xuag
Hi guys, I seek your advice. How can I get good results using the Mr. Hobby Cute Compressor? I recently got it since I am starting out and I found out that the power is…
4 Psi is really really low. To get some paint out of your airbrush, either one, you need to thin the paint heavily. Orange peal is the result of a too fast drying paint, to avoid it one can add retarder to the paint. The most likely problem for you with such a low air pressure will be the paint splotching….. That’s why my advice is to thin the…[Read more]
Hey man, it’s been awhile since I’ve been on this site site so I apologize for the late thank you for the advice! You’ll be happy to know that since then, I got the Mr. Compressor L7! I don’t know how to set up and use the air regulator though. T-T
4 psi is really hard to work with. I use a wide range of paints in enamel, lacquer and acrylic and depending upon what I’m doing and which paint (not always small parts model kits) sometimes I use PSI as high as 40 that’s TEN times what this does. Even for model kits I have used over 10 psi many times. You’ll probably have to thin a lot. Pay…[Read more]

Thanks for the ideas!
