yea i rmb i was one of first who commented on the creepiness of it. XD.

so after top coating, it looks like a model kit spray painted with model kit paint?

i think i gonna try it on my fake gundam.

that is for you and others to judge.. lol..
If painted not correctly, it'll just look like normal
done correctly and you'll see an art

A tool is merely a tool. It's the hand that holds it, and the mind that controls it really matter.

FYI, 2008 BAKUC (Bandai's (Gundam) Action Kit Universal Cup) World Champion, by a Philippines, nick on internet DC23, was done solely by spray can.





z3r0717: creepy? Hahaha...........

not sure if this is the right section, but here goes; how to register
bbs.afhobby.com?

need invitation code or something?
thanks.

I saw from my 1/24 guide that the painting require lacquer, acrylic and enamel paint. Do I really need those 3?

And anyone know where can I get those cheap paints instead at Tamiya shop itself?

Hi all, i wanna ask some painting technique...

I wanna do the shading effect, which looks like this:



But I do not have air brush + compressor, hence I only use those Gundam color spray (those small tin can which dedicated for gundam color one)

May I know if it's possible to achieve such effect via gundam color spray? can give me some tips on it?

Thanks !

well vorador

I think video and image show more than a thousand word

Hm... ... sounds good but goota waste a lot of spray, but what to do i dun have air brush (and no plan to buy 1) so mah try it out !

wanna ask.. will it be alright if i use tamiya acrylic and water as thinner for airbrushing? and for Mr.Color what thinner is suitable cuz it didnt work with alchohol :/
ive never used my airbrush for acrylic before wanna try using it for modeling this time

Please do some reading before asking :

Arcrylic is not a very strong paint. You might end up with alot of paint chip easily if you are painting mechas.

guys i need some opinion... ...

alright i bought the PG strike freedom, suppose it was an extreme happiness but due to too much bashing and knocking in the forum now i feel i'm a dumb coz i bought this.

anyway dun care, i luv strike freedom so no matter how i will support this kit...

okok sorry my question is, frankly speaking the front skirt armor plate for PG strike freedom looks quite boring... so plain...


I'm planning to do some modding on it to make it look nicer, but i'm so n00b to physical modding and i scare i screw up the whole thing...

so may I ask:

1) if I just wants to cut some line on it, which tool will be useful on gundam kit?

2) if I wants to re-shape the front skirt plate, do I jsut sand paper it until it reach the shape or use some cutting tool?

3) any suggestion on front skirt armor which suitable for strike freedom

thanks!

^ you means you want to add more panel line on the kit right
maybe this can help

thank you so much!

whoa this link shows almost everything i need... just that he didn't explain the step on sawing... i might need that as well...

+1 to that. i find using dymo tape extremely useful as well, especially for curved pieces..

I understand your feeling.. pls dont get down just because what ppl dislike bout it.. To be able to own a PG should make u happy and a proud owner already. I very wanted to get this kit as well.... if my december budget allow And I will have the same idea with you, trying to make it look nicer. I think the best feeling will be when u have done an impressive job on this suppose-to-be-boring kit... ppl will no longer look at it the same way...

Anyway. I get an idea of repainting it like Keita's White Strike Freedom if I bought my PG.. you can copy its front skirt paneling.. simple but nice. But first i must brushup my Airburshing skill... it has been in the box for 2 years +



WHITE STRIKE FREEDOM

This is a very useful tutorial with many other different technique. Bookmarked already thanks!

DC23 is very popular maa
looks at his Sazabi mod and you'll be awed

bro,regarding that technique(painting the Sinanju gold part) how to do it?

this is AMAZING mod for strike freedom, and he gave me a VERY GOOD color reference. (coz I planned to replace the dark blue to dark grey, light blue to medium grey, make it looks like white-grayish strike freedom)

thanks for encouraging me man, I remember last time when PG 00 Raiser is out, I dun like it but never say anything, instead congratulate those who have it...

anyway that front skirt paneling is really cool! i gotta copy--pasta it also some metallic color at the back~~~
