Sorry for the late reply. You just do it free hand with an airbrush. It doesn’t have to be exact so you don’t need mad airbrush skills to achieve it. Just do very light coats and blend the colors into each other.
I completely handpainted a M9 Gernsback, HG AGE-1 noramal, the SD Kshatriya and a couple of other SDs (partially). My actual project is HG Dynames in green camo pattern. Will be my first custom paint job, since the previous ones were all original color style.
So it’s a practicing series. I will paint my HGs first until my skills are good enough to…[Read more]

My question is about effect parts. I’m not sure how the rest of you guys feel about effect parts, but I feel they have this toy like appearance.

Thanks.

Hello Guys.
I have recently started building gunpla; so far I have just stuck with panel lining and top coating my HGs. I just ordered a Slave-1 ship because it is just the most coolest ship ever created (sorry Falcon fans).
My question is about painting the Slave-1. I will need to hand paint it because I do not have a safe place to use spray…[Read more]
Thin down your pants to a watery/milky state and apply the paint carefully with a thin layer. Repeat the process a few times and you will get a smooth surface. Of course it won’t look perfect the first time but with a bit of practice everything is doable. I am practicing thi myself so you have to be a little patient while doing this….

Like what Cthuihu said…thinned down the paint to watery. We always say “let it run.” If your enamel panel line color don’t run means your paint still too thick.
And one reminder, don’t try panel lining if you got a flat coat of your model especially the white. Do it on semi-gloss or gloss, after finish your panel lining, seal it with flat…[Read more]
