Hi all,
I’m looking into getting myself a rotary tool, but I am unsure what I’m looking for. I’ve read some stuff on the inter nut going on about varible speeds and all that fun stuff. I’m just looking for some advised, thanks
hello all. so i just finished mg sazabi ver ka today and want to apply a top coat. can i use rustoleum clear matte, or only model clear coats? i have seen some people mention using krylon for top coat. i built the kit strait from the box except for the under frame.
I got a mg banshee ver ka (WOOT) and am doing water slides, I already had some practice (shame it was nu gundam ver ka…) but its the final result I’m worried about…
As some are aware, mg banshee ver ka comes with gold decals, I was at first thinking gloss but I noticed defects on the plastic,…[Read more]
You either need to be more careful, lay off the paint thinner (looks like you added paint, dunno what you use but some paints can affect plastic) or stop playing with it so much…
You can glue it, I guess, don’t expect to be able to do much with it
the piece first broke when I made error in judgement on the size of the original hole. trying to mount it so it could dry. I did glue it back together but did realize I glued it crooked. =_= it was so slight I could not see it. Until I tried to fit the piece in again and then I ended up in the current position I am in now. I used testors enamel…[Read more]
Mine is Silaire, and it have been with me since 1997. I pay S$1200 for this compressor and I usually spend 6- 10 hours on the airbrushing, and these hobby have been sticking with me for 30 years and counting…but compressor come in to my life in ’97.
That depend on your budget you would like to pay? How long you use on airbrushing? And how long…[Read more]
I’m still begginer about this hobby and i want to try paint my kits. i got some question about painting. hope you guys can help me. (Sorry for my english, btw)
1. do i still need put primer on the piece even though the color of the paint is the same as the piece? ex: paint the body parts of the hg rx-78 gundam with…[Read more]
Hi hobbylink, i need some suggestion on MG sazabi ver ka coating. I not sure what kind of coating for MG sazabi ver ka. Flat or Gloss?
Is difficult for me to decide which to be coat cause this one is huge kit, not sure the “gloss” effect will look the kit abit weird or not, and worry “flat” cause abit to dull. I don’t think i wanna repaint the…[Read more]
I’m going flat. There are too many detail and panel line on this kit, gloss will not be a good choice. But I think I go for a much softer red since is a Katoki version. 🙂
My question is about effect parts. I’m not sure how the rest of you guys feel about effect parts, but I feel they have this toy like appearance. I was thinking about painting them in some kind of way that looks opaque but also luminescent. Does anyone have any knowledge about how to do this or perhaps some links to some examples.
Thanks.
Hello Guys.
I have recently started building gunpla; so far I have just stuck with panel lining and top coating my HGs. I just ordered a Slave-1 ship because it is just the most coolest ship ever created (sorry Falcon fans).
My question is about painting the Slave-1. I will need to hand paint it because I do not have a safe place to use spray…[Read more]
Thin down your pants to a watery/milky state and apply the paint carefully with a thin layer. Repeat the process a few times and you will get a smooth surface. Of course it won’t look perfect the first time but with a bit of practice everything is doable. I am practicing thi myself so you have to be a little patient while doing this….
You can…[Read more]
I completely handpainted a M9 Gernsback, HG AGE-1 noramal, the SD Kshatriya and a couple of other SDs (partially). My actual project is HG Dynames in green camo pattern. Will be my first custom paint job, since the previous ones were all original color style.
So it’s a practicing series. I will paint my HGs first until my skills are good enough to…[Read more]
Like what Cthuihu said…thinned down the paint to watery. We always say “let it run.” If your enamel panel line color don’t run means your paint still too thick.
And one reminder, don’t try panel lining if you got a flat coat of your model especially the white. Do it on semi-gloss or gloss, after finish your panel lining, seal it with flat…[Read more]
So while I normally go Out of box build for my kits, the stickers on my hg kyshatriya…kinda suck and the longevity is questionable, so I’m thinking of going back with the thinest brush and doing those details by hand.
But the only reason the stickers suck is because my hands are not steady, so…can I grab a…[Read more]
It’s simple, just use the appropriate thinner for the type of paint you’re using. For instance if it’s acrylic you can use any brand of acrylic thinner or even domestic use alcohol.
Gundam markers could be fine but don’t use them directly. Pump the tip to let the paint go out then apply it with a brush. But brush painting has a very long technique…[Read more]
I’m getting the unicorn 03 fenix when it releases in February, but I hate nub marks and I’ll have to repaint the entire kit to get rid of them effectively.
Does anyone know an effective solution to getting rid of titanium finishes?
ahm hello people of toy tengoku, I found a anwser to my Christmas figure and that’s to make my own. I never made a doll of anything kind I am looking into buying 2 of them and their parts to make my own.
the first is obitsu *I think that’s right in 1/6 scale I found a head I want and bodey type. but I don’t now what I need to do the eyes and lip…[Read more]
Hi ryan and syd. I am vincent from indonesia and i am new to gunpla and other Plamo / model kits. i just started building gunpla this september. Yesterday, i just got myself a Nu titanium finish ver KA. The question is, if i apply the water decals to the kit with mark softener and top coat for the finishing touch. Does it affect the titanium…[Read more]
I hardly see them here in this group so I’ll have a try…
What some guys told me at a local hobby shop was you can just throw water slides straight away onto a special finish kit, I can’t comment about mark softer being used but I can suggest that if you want to see how a gloss looks like on a titanium kit, try cutting off the name plate from a…[Read more]
This is what I’ve got.
