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…
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.
Its a HG RX 79 [G] Ground Type from 8th MS Team, I’ll add some chipping, clean up the weathering and add a diorama when I have the time.
The Graze Ein is really big for a HG kit, I painted the frame but I think I’m going to be lazy with this one and just gloss coat the armor pieces later.
Hello everyone. I owned 74520 HG Compressor two weeks ago. and i broke the Basic Airbrush that come with it. So i tried to use another kind of airbrush.
That is how they should work – air should only come out when the button is pushed. I hope the old airbrush worked that way. I have no idea about that compressor but mine turns on and off as the air reservoir empties out and it fills back up. I also don’t see a regulator or moisture trap? Those get critical pretty soon. If you paint in humid…[Read more]
