Hey syd I figured I would ask you if you would like to become a judge for an upcoming contest I am holding. To celebrate the summer time and to give everybody something fun to enjoy together this year. I don’t really have anything set in stone just yet but I am looking for feedback for what people want to see in a contest and for judges. […] View
Would anyone happen to know what metallic paints could be used to achieve this finish? I have been researching and I seem to cannot find any concrete information on achieving…
that picture is a limited edition kit i dont remember exactly where it came from but it came out a whiile ago. if ur planning to paint that kind of similar effect u wont be able to do it perfectly but its id prob use some kind of silver/aluminum and mix it with some white to achieve that effect

Could be the resolution of my screen….
The blue seems to be the Tamiya Metallic Blue…[Read more]
I agree with the white silver parts. They’re smooth on the model with no visible flakes. It’s closer to the non-buffing Aluminum Metalizer I use from Testors. Grey parts like the round ones (condenser caps on knees, ankles, and thighs) do seem to have visible flakes however, just like the Tamiya Chrome Silver. The thrusters are painted with Alu…[Read more]
