I finger paint my kits…jk. I hand paint my kits using acrylic paints and a brush. There are a few rough areas I need to go back and work on but over all I’m very happy with the results.
This HGUC Gouf Custom is a increduble kit. It’s almost a small MG… high quality in pieces. I’m a fan… My only critic is the mono eye… is a decal… a feather…
Honestly, that’s not bad at all. What brand of acrylic are you using? If anything, you just need to thin the paint a bit more to get rid of the rough texture (unless your paint is meant to have it, of course).
Did you sand up those legs? It’s a nice way to get a dirtied up matte effect, but if you’re gonna sand. You should doing lining first and then sanding. It helps blend in the panel lines for a cleaner look.
No I have not done any sanding on any of my model kits before. I have only been doing models for about 1 year now so still learning a lot of various techniques. Thank you for the advice and ill give it a look!
If you’re going to try sanding, I recommend you use a high grit sand paper. Maybe 320 grit or 400 grit. Another way to make the panel lines cleaner is to rub them down with a Q-Tip, or use rubbing alcohol, or paint thinner.
Nice work! Are you doing a full repaint of the figure?
Yeah im going to be painting the entire kit.
Nice.
