Ordered on sunday, shiped on monday, arrived in Germany on thursday. Totaly worth the 40€ shiping. I am so happy that I got one of the last shadow foxes and the L.E.D knight is such an impressive kit. Thank you hlj!
Oh.. This will be in a not that near future. Especially, if they announce a new contest. But i will. I could post the runners and whats in the box. Its the most wanted kit of all I have ordered so far. I will take my time with this.
So found something interesting and weird. So during the 1970’s -1980’s, the South Korean government created a ban of Japanese Media. As a result, there were a lot of “Innovative” cartoons made. One of them is called Black Space Knight. Do you guys recognize any familiar masked figure.
I’ve finally joined the airbrush master race! I’m going to buy paints and thinners, then it’s time to practice just on paper.
I’m thinking of starting with lacquer paints, any…
i used the good old fashion tamiyas but prob with that stuff it scratches easily so you have to pledge it and wait a while but spraying with laquers dont forget to wear a gas mask that stuff is toxic but have fun with it keep a good distance away from the parts not too close or ull overspray n not too far so u cant do any good precise painting
Was that Tamiya Acrylic? My local hobby shop has a decent selection of them but I don’t know if you need to thin acrylic like you would for lacquer paints.
Thanks for the tips for spraying, I’ll be sure to keep them in mind when I’m setting up.
Finally, Nick has joined the party!!! 😛 Congratulations on your purchase!
The Tamiya acrylic paints need to be thinned. You can use X-20A or Isopropanol Alcohol. If you choose to use the latter one, make sure it’s at least 90%.
All paints scratch, so it is advisable to clear all paints….
There is no problem in using enamels in the airbrush,…[Read more]
Thinners…. As I read it. I got alot of problems during my past projects. Using Vallejo acryliccolors, i thought using thinner and cleaner from Vallejo should be an emprovement to just using water. But i figured, that thinner and cleaner kinda reacts with water, causing a total block of the colorflow inside the pistol. Just using water, I have no…[Read more]
I’m pretty rough when it comes to airbrushing. $30NZD airbrush sets and a nice medium sized cheap chinese compressor. I decant tamiya spray cans into the hopper and it stretches out the cost of the cans as they can be expensive. The outcome isn’t bad and it’s great for experimenting. I use a strong Resene paint stripper for cleaner for all types…[Read more]
For what it’s worth – I use a wide range of paint types in a lot of different applications which includes fine scale modeling/gunpla. I almost always use the thinner and paint from the same brand. I find that works the best for me. I use enamel a lot for base coats – needs a good long time to dry and needs a sealing top coat if you are going to…[Read more]
Hey guys, here’s just one of the many kits I’ve completed. For right now I’m just building, panel lining and adding decals to kits. Looking to start painting and customizing future kits.
Haha, can’t wait to reach the episode, when you really watched the latest StarWars movie and ranting about it. I am at 180, can’t be that long anymore.
can I ask what can I do because I just finished top coating my sazabi ver ka and it has this foggy white marks what can I do to remove them? I’ve used a flat matt top coat.. thanks in advance.
If you have a hair dryer or a heat gun (lowest setting, you don’t want to melt the plastic) and heat up the effected areas. Don’t keep blowing on the same spot, but move in circulair motions.
The problem is, you sprayed during a humid day, all the moisture in the air settles on the model and mixes with the air born paint particles. The hot air…[Read more]
thanks bro managed to fix it same style mostly.. I applied another coat then right after it quikly use air dryer but rather lowest setting I’ve put it in the middle.. from 70% frosting in kit to nothing.. yey!
That’s good news!!! The hair dryer may be set on a higher setting indeed, but a heat gun is designed to strip paint, hence the warning. Nevertheless, happy to hear you got it fixed!
Good job!!!!!!
