Most of the inner frame is cover except for the joints. But the frame is so nicely detailed I had to paint it. At least the barbatos frame is more exposed
lookin forward to the full mechanics vidar. It seems that the frame is quiet visible on it. If I think about all the work I spent on the shadow fox’s frame, that is not seen at all…
Most Alclad paints are lacquer based. They have some enamels in their range, mostly the clear paints and they have a water based clear gloss.
They high shine paints from Alclad need a black gloss (white seems to work to, so I’ve seen that is) base coat. If this base colour is sanded and buffed before applying the main coat, the end result will be…[Read more]
Ok the usual gloss black primer. I have several chrome and silver colors, but am not absolutely sattisfied. I have seen Alclad high gloss clear used in several plamu tsugurou episodes, but never this polished aluminum. I hope i can get it in germany.
Du you spray a thin or thik layer? like a glosspaint, creating a single surface? Or do you even…[Read more]
I use an airbrush. I spray the gloss black base coat, let it dry overnight. Then I lightly spray the aluminum, it will start to look like metal after a few passes. I let that dry overnight as well. You have to use the aqua clear. If not, you loose the metal effect. It will look like a silver paint
Ok. I think I will do some testseries with combinations of different chrome and clear paints. Never thought about the clreargloss to be the most vital component. Always tried to get the finish out of the chrome/silver itself.
You need to use a gloss black first for alclad to get the most reflection for the shiny metals. I also have a powder you wipe on a glossy blue to get a polished stainless steel look
UUUuuhh.. metalic purple, shiny metalcolors and nice detailling. this might end up awesome!!
You have to show more of it during the process.
Love it already.
I think it’s time for to quit this hobby. I’ve never been this angry. The kit was fine but the decal(s), oh my god! Thank you, everyone. It has been a nice experience knowing you guys here. Goodbye Gunpla TV. Fuck you, Bandai!!
but this reminds me of the Audi Urquattro I built. Shown here at the automotive group. Everything went fine until I tried to place this hughe and rather old decals for the ralley design… I ended in spraying it with my airbrush, after I cooled down..
Oo.. same with my rg sinanju. I’ve never had problems putting decals (rg, mg, pg, macross kits), i have no problem at all with the kit, but the decals urrrgghh.. :)) especially on the legs part. Btw, excuse my broken english :))
Is this the RG Sinanju? if your that frustrated with the RG just go HG or even some MG’s they dont have the same amount of decals. It would be sad to see anyone give up Gunpla.
