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!!!!!!

Not sure if I’m completely done with this kit or not, but pretty happy with what I’ve got done so far anyway. This is on old HG Serpent Custom from 1998. Here I’ve completely…
That was a serious Battle for sure. You definatly have to do something with the scars. If metal cooles down after beeing red glowing hot, it becomes some kind of a darker blueish grey. I would go for that and maybe keep some of the edges dark red glowing.
Check some lasercuttet industrial metalparts. Outside where the temp wasnt hot enough do melt the metal, it will change the color from the grey directly at the cutting edge to a yellowish brown a bit further away. Hehe depends on how much effort you want to put in it.
Well nope, the base for the red parts is the Titanium color, ontop of it I painted the clear red to make it red and a deep metallic color . And it`s Mr. Aqua Hobby Clear red. Look up tutorials about Candy colors the technique is similar
I though, what for tanks works, might do it here as well. Its my first Mech.. Think that it is a bit obersized for that scale, but not inacceptable, or unrealistic. Ok it is an constuct from another dimension and has higher powers, but the japanese seawater in the air seems to be stronger.. 😀
Thank you! Yes, this is my first kit. I did take time and care building it though. Panel lined with Fine Point Gundam Markers, and top coated with Winsor & Newton acrylic matt varnish.
Thank you for comment. That was not priming yet.. just showing the inner frame that amaze me to look at. As usual i will unassembled all parts to do painting.
