so after one week of hand painting all the gold and spraying the metallic paint i think ive done a pretty decent job painting sinanju id love to hear some feed back from others though View
Your Zeong looked really great. You’ve also used a nice background. And it ain’t no shame, going up against Henry and StryderPrime, and not taking the gold back home. At least you stood there, tall and proud!!!
I think if i put my heart into this and not do nething but this i can get it done before saturday more is already painted but i just wanted to see something done
Right now i already stripped off the original paint for the tamiya primer so all i have to do is prime it up then check for scratched surfaces then sand it n then re prime n then paint?
so i have to prime it with tamiyas since im using tamiya paints but after that i still have to resand it but wouldnt that create a more scratchy rough surface though??
If you are using the Tamiya acrylics, you can’t prime your parts with Tamiya Primer spray cans, nor the Tamiya Surface Primer which comes in a bottle. Both are lacquers and will ruin your messed up paint job even more!
There are two options for you, one being that you use some more paint to thicken the surface and then sand it smooth, the other is…[Read more]
i finished modding my zeong and i started to paint it however when i did after the paint dried i could see the surface of the plastic to be all scratchy from sanding it down and such is there a way to get rid of that look like prime it or something??

For a flat paint, a 800 grid sandpaper will do, for gloss and metallics, a 1000 or 1200 grid sandpaper is needed. And you need to get a primer that is compatible with the paint you are using, provided you want…[Read more]

Thanks 🙂 theres still more work to be done on the chest and i will be doing scribing once all the clean up and scratching is done but i wasnt too sure if the legs should still be the same roundness since i was thinking about maybe making it blockier
Schools started but comic con is only a few weeks till today so i have to get this done. Even though im the modeler i would like some opinion on how this is looking so far like maybe crticism or even ideas but im continuing on this massive project till the day its comic con
The kits coming together quite nicely, maybe scribe a few panel lines for added detail?
Also you may want to round a few of the edges to make them suit the rest of the model.
