Panel washes on top of acrylic paint is tricky. I’d first coat the paint with a gloss varnish (Future Finish works well for this) and what I’ve found to be the safest wash is artists oil paint diluted with mineral spirits.
future gloss coat
then afterwards use humbrol paints trust me when i say this because ive had problems doing panel line wash for a while and humbrol works great even if the glosscoat isnt completely cured if its like 70% cured it still works i only know because ive been using tamiya acrylics and there paints are really weak and easily chipped
I’m in for the LED. With other kits, I’ve found it best to put the lighting in at the time of the build, and given the complexity of a PG, I don’t want to be disassembling it at a later time to add the lighting.
Lots of masking!!! I was thinking of doing more, but I was happy with the added detail on the bland sections of the kit, and thought doing too much would detract from the overall effect.
I show how I did it here: http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/1144-neo-zeong-part-3/ – basically lots and lots of masking, and I made a little template to help me keep the spacing right. The tricky bit was figuring the correct spacing to ensure that the design fit exactly.
