Gonna try to finish HG Aegis tonight so I can top coat tomorrow. Then will piece together the Blitz now that it’s finally dried. Hopefully tomorrow is nice and dry and I can consider testing some paint for one of my other kits. View
It is also used to remove seam lines on canopies on aircraft building. There are two compounds, one rough, the other a fine one. Apply the rough one on a clean soft cotton cloth. Use in twisting motions on the to be polished surface. After a few minutes, clean of the excess. Then apply the fine compound on an other clean cloth. Do the same as with…[Read more]
Hmmm I see. Thanks for the info. I bought the wing one then. The Tamiya Polish compound finish. I’ll have to buy the course and fine compound with the clothes as well.
It’s basically a rubbing compound, like those you would use on an actual car. Think of it as like a liquid sandpaper. It’s purpose is to remove marks on a surface, and leave it looking better then it previously was. This video should help you out.
Does it matter on what type of enamel brand I use for an airbrush? I have Testors right now but I’m not sure if that the recommend brand to air brushe gunpla?
i srsly dont recomend testor as it is the crappiest paint ive ever used in my life time of gundams it killed my panel lining it takes forever to dry and its not that cheap its a pretty small bottle and its a pretty small bottle of thinner too id recomend tamiya enamels or modelmaster but if u want u could use other different painted like laquer…[Read more]
i think almost everyhobby shop out there sells tamiya paint mr color however im not too sure buecause mine does not becasse certain hobby shops dont sell em becasue they cant make money off it it really depends on location and wht they sell too but for the most part modelmaster tamiya humbrol vallejo aclad theyre usually well known in hobby shops
If you’re going to use testors paints, Model master for your air brush, as its a bit of a different composition, and the standard testors for brushing. Testors paints aren’t bad at all, everyone just has their own preferences. However, don’t stick to one brand of paint, because all of them do…[Read more]
Lol. She is not into building them but she’s really likes looking at the mechanics. She was blown away by the Nu Ver Ka and 3.0. I have been mentioning about Sazabi for a long while but never gave it a go since it’s kinda expensive 🙂
this isn’t exaclty a gundam related question. but i was wondering if anyone knows if Gundam Markers will work on any LBX kits, or other kits in general.
Hey guys..last year we saw an unpainted model of MG 1/100 Gundam AGE-FX..but to this date we still haven’t see it coming out..among all Age kits I like that the most(as I m not very fond on the anime tho).
I think there was an AGE-3 Normal on display as well but I doubt they’ll see the light of day for a long time. The other MG AGE kits all sold pretty poorly to my memory.
not that unusual they also had a nightingale prototype thats been sitting there for eons so my guess is theyre prob gunna put it up as an re release maybe
So ive built about 13 mgs and one hg now ive decided its time for me to step up my modeling game and start spray painting my models starting from now so the next model i am buying is the hi nu gundam ver ka i have all the paint necessary but im now i have a few questions.
how many coats of paint do i need?
should i paint the parts whilst there…[Read more]
The amount of coats depends on the paints you use and the colour of the plastic. For example, white paint will only need about 2 coats on white plastic but if it were to be painted on blue it may need 3 to stop the blue coming through the white. As a rule of thumb keep applying thin coats until you’ve got a solid colour.
I always spray the parts individually, when spraying on the runners, you’ll be left with gate marks, these can be touched up by using a brush, but will never the less leave indications on where the part was on the runner. Or you have to be willing to sand those area’s down, taking a lot of time, and if not careful sanding of paint on certain…[Read more]
