Hay all. I need a bit of help. Today I took out my airbrush for the first time. When I started spraying I got these air bubbles on the piece. I’m using a Vallejo acrylic primer. How do I fix the problem?
Is your airbrush new or used ?
genreal advices:
-clean the airbrush before first use if you bought it used
-give the primer bottle a good-long shake before using
-thin the vallejo primer a little (with vallejo thinner): few drops of thiner every 4 ml primer is a good starting point
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree on that last note. Never ever thin down the Valleo primer! This is where things turn really sour.
It almost looks to me like there is a foreign substance in the airbrush that mixed with the primer.
One very important thing, do you have a moisture/water trap on the compressor? It looks like they are water…[Read more]
thats the “fish eyes” problem wht happens is when ur painting as the paint comes out of the airbrush the paint is drying before its hitting the surface of the paint. wht is ur thinning ratio for the acrylic primer that could be the reason
Thank you very much for the link.
Yeah, I have to agree with you on that. There may be more parts, and of course they are bigger parts, but if you have build a MG, one could definitely build a PG. I’m also looking forward to the PG Unicorn.
Thanks again
A real bummer. It’s one of the two things I dislike about the PG line. But I did manage to find a stand on Ebay for PG size kits. It comes with multiple adaptors like the stands for HG and MG. A bummer as well that my strike freedom and skygrasper stand don’t fit the O Raiser.
Thank you very much for the link.

Hi all. I’ve bought the PG 00 Raiser. It doesn’t come with a stand as stated on the HLJ page. But on of the pics show the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser on the same stand but separate. Does any one know where to buy a PG size stand? thanks.
The stand came only with the first orders as I’ve heard somewhere on the web. I believe it was by Rrobbert184. I’m also searching for a stand for the PG Astray Red Frame, though not that hard. I’m sure the PG Sky Grasper came with a stand. Maybe an option would be ordering these parts via genteikits? I don’t understand why Bandai doesn’t make them…[Read more]

Took a crazy amount of time to build. For an HG kit. It would have been about 16 hours. The 1/144 Dendrobium is complete. A very fun kit to build. I used blue to break up all…
Turned out really nice! Love the blue breaking up what else would be a huge white piece of hardware. Awesome job sir! Thanks for sharing this build with us 😀
A great model. Well done on painting Shin, I think it is. Been a while since I watched Seed Destiny. I could only imagine the amount of effort it took. Congratz!
That’s turning out to be one hell of a great kit. You’ve inspired me to buy another Ver. Ka and do a similar paint job. I’ve decided to go with black and three different greens. I can’t wait to see it finished!
I love the PG line. I’m buying them all. Nearly there too. When I heard I ordered it as soon as it was live on HLJ. But I was unsure on the LED’s due to I very rarely use the LED’s on my PG and MG’s now. But I […]
I got the decals from sameuldecal. I found out about him from FaceBook. He’s got a wide range of decals and kits to order. Due to the size of the kit, the amount of decals and size is massive. So the cost was $40 US I think.
Aside from being a bit thick on the paint. It’s a really good effort, for a first time. I’ll being pretty crap when I use the airbrush for the first time in a few days. You’ll only get better with practice. Keep up the work and you’ll have a good looking kit. But remember it’s all about fun, even if it doesn’t turn out how you want. So ENJOY!
The plan is to keep it clean. Because I’ve got very little weathering and battle damage experiance. I plan to use some older HG kits for practice at some point.
Update on the Dendrobium. It’s finally all built. But it was really white. So I decided to break it up with bits of blue. Then the task of water slide decals is taking longer…

Great idea to use some blue to break up the surface a bit. Looks great, good color scheme too! Never realized how big a kit it is, but your pictures show it’s true awesomeness. Thanks for the update

are actual bubbles forming when you spray the paint? if so then it maybe something as simple as you holding the airbrush too close.
Thanks everyone for the help. I believe it will be a mix of a new airbrush, not being cleaned first. and holding it a bit close.
