tamiya acrylic clear red. I tried the enamel version too, but that comes out more like a dark cherry color. It took a lot of coats, you going to need at least 2-3 jars to paint a sinanju.
the judges seem to have been overwhelmed with submissions. i think they said its going to at least a couple more weeks before there are any announcements
Get some alligator clips and bamboo skewers, makes for easy parts holding.

The Iwata neo is a good first brush. They can be found for $40-$60. I wouldnt recommend those really cheap $20 you see on ebay, they are the lowest quality and break quickly.
As for a compressor, one of those “master” brand compressors from amazon or ebay is about the only one you’ll find in your budget unless you buy used. Its very quiet so it…[Read more]

Stay away from compressors meant for pneumatic tools; these will usually have 1/4 connectors, a high max PSI of 80-200 (you’ll only ever need 12-20psi) and will…[Read more]
Ive had pretty good success using alclad II chrome sprayed over a coat of gloss enamel. As far as chrome powders, I’ve heard good things about kosutte gin-san, although its a bit difficult to find.
thanks guys, I don’t have an airbrush in my possession, so I will have to think of something else. I am currently using rattle cans. Another question, if I want to dry brush to creating weathering, where in the painting/top coat stage do I do so and then what topcoat do I apply if any?
Any topcoat will do. And that’s depend on what final result you. Dull metal color, flat coat. Shiny ‘bling bling’ metal finish, gloss.
If you using rattle can, you might take a look into commercial rattle can paint. If I’m not wrong, there is Chrome in a can, but best is do a resin primer first to prevent the color eating through color and into…[Read more]
Well, it was quite the journey to get to this point. This was my first time using any sort of alclad paint, so that was interesting. Here are the final images of my finished qubeley’s photo shoot.
