Bro, i think you should give it a try la. Especially resin offers a lot more choices, especially for the niche market stuff which big company cannot justify the cost for producing injection kits.



Just say it is more like a very fine n slightly less crispy gypsum(plaster).

just realized there are 3 different kinds of top coat.

flat/matte , semi-gloss, gloss

i think flat/matte shld b good ? gloss gonna make gundam look like shiny sports car

flat/matte would give u a non-plastic look...hehehe

hi there.. simply question, i just want to know ur opinion..
does D-Hell Custom look good in gloss or in flat matte spray?
thanx

depends on the model la, some model look good in gloss while some not, zaku always look good in flat, gonna buy a zaku to build too

er mine is strike freedom. hahaha

Strike Freedom looks better in shining glory-ness(or glossiness )

ya meh? :| thought of going matte :|
cannot imagine SF in shiny mode

will take more phono soon.

woahhhh awesome!!!!

need more close up pic

hey guys, any methods to prevent inconsistencies during coating using spray can? I sort of realise that some parts that I sprayed turned out to be more frosty than others. It was quite obvious when those pieces were assembled together with one side being frostier than the other. thanks

cook heat up the spray can before spraying and spray at the distance of 15-20cm

oh yeah.....dont forget to spray at place with no wind, else the wind will blow the coat away before it reach the surface

Thanks for the tip amduser, btw I found a useful tip from a blog that might help those who needs spraying tip

Tips and Tricks: spraying flat top coat on unpainted model

But still for clear paints like topcoats esp flat/matt, do you know how much that is needed to spray? unlike spray paints with colours, i found it difficult at times to know how much i have already sprayed onto the pieces and this tend to contribute some problems as i might think i did not spray enough thus the spraying frenzy happens
