Hi all can someone please tell me with the Mr. Color Super Metallic Super Gold, Super Iron, would I have no choice but to either air spray those paints on myself or else find someone that could do so or can those paints also be hand painted on ?
Mr. Color in general is difficult to hand-brush, I think. It dries very quickly and (unlike acrylics or enamels) thinner in a new paint layer can disrupt paint that’s been previously applied. (This is less of an issue if you’re spraying, but if you’re brushing paint on, the physical action of brush-painting combined with the weakening of the…[Read more]
I adjusted the colors to my actual spray cans as it is just now that I have come back to see them and I plan to replace the glossy gold with Titanium Gold on some parts since it might be too shiny being alongside the silver leaf. I used a green as a background due to its “neutrality”. Would greatly appreciate your insights and tips, thanks in…[Read more]
Thank you @Java as this is my first step, i would like to go into color separation to give the parts more depth. 🙂 planning to add in a darker shade of blue to complement the light blue and a gray to complement the white. 😀
be careful putting gold and silver next to each other they blend together a little too well, from a distance you might not even be able to tell that there’s two different colors being used at all. You don’t seem to be doing that anyways but thought I’d point it out, anyways looks good.
Thanks for the advice. I am currently adding color separations to this scheme and while the silver would be shiny, the gold would be flat so there should be no problem with being too shiny, but I’ll take your advice in case. 😉
If just the hands, genteikits (dot) com, use the replacement part service, if they aren’t there send them an email, helped me get replacement parts for my doven wolf
I’m assuming you mean the builder parts from Bandai, I haven’t checked but you can probably order them right here on this site, other than that it kinda depends where in Canada you live, it’s kinda a big place. I was in Vancouver and they had stores that carried them, but in Toronto I’ve never seen them in a store.
LOL for the “friendly” 😛 i think I need to get the right hues and maybe the background made it stand out? I am planning to kitbash it with the wing of the Wing Zero Custom so I am going for those colors, though I am still considering some color separation, and maybe replacing the silver with Gun Metal. Thanks for your insight, Cthulhu. 🙂
Its a basic render, but it does make it look bright, tell me any pre-shading or special effects going on?
If just straight like this it’ll be your personal preference as its too bright for my eyes…but would stand alongside the original rx-78-2 in terms of brightness XD
I made a newer version that matches my colors better, this will be a future build so thank you very much for all the insights, keep ’em coming. 😉
@masterDS64 since it is so white, i might consider giving it some weathering since I am starting to appreciate the depth it could give unto any kit. I’ll post the adjusted color scheme, and I kinda…[Read more]
Anyone who knows a site where I can purchase a MR hobby flat topcoat from in Europe? where I live there just aren’t any shops that sell topcoats and if I have to order from America the shipping costs are way to high :/
Been working on a nu gundam ver ka, now I heard some bad stories about the fin funnels, tell me, would using 2 top coats (or just one) on all related parts of the funnels be as effective as painting to make the connection of the funnels stronger, or would I have to resort to the other make shift suggestions to get…[Read more]
Does anyone have any suggestions on colors for MG Aegis I would like to keep it about the same color on the episodes. Please keep in mind my only option for painting is using Tamiya spray.
