Hellow, everybody I have a question for you, I recently started on the gunpla world and I want to do some panel lines using the panel wash technich on the kits I have but where I live it is very difficult to find the tools or type of paints available in other countries, I was able to fiind some water b ased Acrylic paints that I like but is it ok…[Read more]
one way you can try is to wet the line first. It is sitting there because of water tension. It should run after you wet the line.
Depending on the surface, it is also easy to paint the line directly then clean off the surface.
Ok another problem. It looks like i manage to “misplaced” the HGUC Kampfer antena. Can someone who has the model make a picture of it with a ruler so i could get the dimensions right.
Much obliged
Hi all I haven’t posted anything I a wile so just thought I’d shear this with you all.
Last weekend saw the annual IPMS Scale Model World Telford England and at the show they…
Congrats on the trophies. Any chance of the Sazabi photoshot?
Just looked at your Nu’s wip photos. Beastly job at details. Just a small question. Was the seam on the shoulder ball left intentional?
My GBWC 2014 entry..very rush build..took me 20 hours throughout all process as this time of years works had surpassed me. But gladly I got into my first GBWC entry. Sadly my…
Problems with chipping paint.
Was doing some paint tests and come up with this big problem. Paint is chiping like crazy if i touch it, blow air at it (and i dont mean from…
Havent topcoated it yet. It might have been my mistake. Also notice that the paint is chiping from places that have no mechanical connection like the top of the shoulders. Ill try fixing it by handbrushing and then topcoating it with gloss varnish. Question. Will it lose the metalic paint effect if i do that?
I don’t know if I’m seeing this right, but in the middle and the right edge on the top of the backpack, is the primer actually coming off?
I’ve heard that some modelers had problems with the Vallejo primer. It’s recommended NOT to thin it, spray two light coats and a final covering coat with a drying time of at least a half hour between them and…[Read more]
The primer somehow holds…(the orginal color of the kit is dark purple) I know some modelers have problems with this primer. Im also in love/hate relationship with it. Love it for the ease of use and as long as it covers the part it works great. Hate it cause you just cannot sand this primer cause its kind of rubbery and doesnt eat into plastic.…[Read more]
Yeah, I know, mixing paint can be a pain in the butt. Maybe a tip, I use the paint mixing bottles from Vallejo. They are 30/35 ml. Then pore some alcohol in them to level out the bottom (they are spherical). I use a toothpick as a measure stick. For instance a 80/20 percent mix, if I don’t need much paint, I carve 1 cm on the toothpick. 80 percent…[Read more]
did you clean the plastic with water and liquid detergent or anything alike before painting?because their are some residue from molding the plastics (like oils, etc.) that make the paint can’t adhere so much.
Plastic was cleaned. Its just the last layer of paint pealing off. Didnt have time to check with demineralized water as tete sugested yet (had a rather hectic end of week in work) but i guess it could be the main culprit.
The weather and timing finally worked out and i was able to snap some shots of the finished Sazabi. I wish i could have had this guy finished for the GBWC but gunpla ADD got…
