I will add that you should use the Tamiya thinner (X20) when thinning Tamiya paints. It’s formulated differently from most other acrylic paints on the market. This means you might get some very bad results if you use a thinner intended for a different brand of paint.
this was the first time i painted the inner frame of a kit made it really hard to put the joints together didnt want to try posing for fear of snapping an arm or leg off
MKII is a beast. Only mg I don’t have from build fighters. Fingers crossed. And I beleive the GBF stands for gundam build fighters. I beleive its a kit we haven’t seen fully yet in the new series. Great show guys, but I think the ladies need some bigger kits. 😛
Just a short question here, does Tamiya spray paint metallic orange go well with Tamiya spray paint bright mica red? Need some reply as not sure what colour to buy to fit the metallic orange
they should go quite well together metallic and mica both get a nice sparkle to the paint, I think Mica actually sparkles more but it shouldn’t be overpowering either
MG 1/100 Sinanju, fully painted down to every single finger. Started in the end of 2014 and completed early 2015… the gold trims are nightmares and took 2 days to complete cuz I kept on making mistakes and had to wash it and repaint many times.
Very nice. love how the red turns into purple/pinkish. If you don’t mind me asking, what paint did you use to get this kind of effect?
And are those metal thrusters, or did you paint them that way? And love the colors of the weapons!
Thanks in advance and again, great build!
Hi, Gaia black primer -> Mr. Hobby SM06 -> Gaia Clear Red x 3 -> very thin fluorescent pink -> clear red . Those are metal thrusters, I painted the inner rim, you need to have very low ratio thinner when painting metal parts. Weapon effect is white primer, Gaia duralumin silver -> clear orange -> clear red -> bit of red at the very end, hope this…
anyone know a good online shop that sells modelling spray paints (preferably tamiya) and will ship to an APO address? i’m stuck on some random rock out in the middle of the atlantic for a handful of months and can’t seem to find any suitable paints in my area for the models i’m working on right now.
