Beginner Modeler – Modeling Competition 2013. 9 years, 2 months ago Couple of a days until the end, i ran out of paint. Story of my life. Only two tiny little parts on the head left and funnels. I suck in everything what involves paint.

I hear you man! That happened to me with my AGE-1. You don’t stink at painting, it’s just that the can wastes a lot of paint.
I see… =( So, one thing is for sure – i will never use spray cans again. Especially for small parts and details. No, really – for the same price i could get every paint i need for right shade of purple, mix them, get the color i need, and a lot will remains… Yes, brush. But it will be way easier and I get what i want eventually.
Will try to warm can and to shake it harder tomorrow, maybe i stil could get enough from it to finish what i started. It’s pretty cold here, so i probably have some chances…
Lession learned, i guess… -_-
I don’t mean convert entirely to handpainting. Handpainting is a skill that takes a long time to master. I would recommend hand painting for the details, and spray painting for the main colors.
Agree. Big parts is really hard to paint so they can look good and strokes cannot be noticed. But I’m thinking about getting airbrush. Not for models only, I can probably use it for drawing, but right now it its too expensive for me=(
I found paint, by the way. It’s darker, but i’ll figure something out. Mix it with white or light blue. It’s not as hopless as i thought ^_^
