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
Ye i also use 99%alcohol it works very well i strongly suggest not using something industrial like because it could destroy an expensive airbrush like that
actually i had one of those hobby japan books that had a tutorial on how to scratch build the jesta cannon armor i never gave it a shot but it makes me wanna try just to prove something to bandai lol
Actually @teetee580 the gold is darker than u think its more of a hyaku shiki gold i thought that too when i saw it but i was wrong
Although trying it on the runner or something is a good idea to do thanks guys
recently i picked up the unicorn gundam code 852 version
even though it is a stunningly beutiful kit, its not undergated so obviously i want to at least hide the nub marks alittle bit by adding a dash of gold on the nubs but my problem is what kind of gold would be close to the gold they have on the unicorn???
I’ve looked up some pictures of the “Hong Kong” Ver.Ka. Unicorn and it looks like a very light “gold” plating.
I would try a dot of silver and a tiny drop of clear yellow, not the normal mix of yellow and orange.

actually if ur shooting for mg
then use then buy the nebula blitz theres an adaptor to the back of it im not 100% sure but it should somewhat fit because the mold if for the blitz and there proportions are the same

if u want to go even…[Read more]

Alzard and myself had the same issue. Only found out that the page for it existed through Facebook. It was never posted on the HLJ Gundam page, and still isnt. Luckily, few days after the initial Order Stop happened, it became available for Pre-order again. I kept checking every day. I suggest you keep an eye on it daily, they might get some more.…[Read more]
Only on FaceBook??? Well, HLJ has dropped the ball on that one in my opinion.
