QUOTE(rayloke @ Apr 18 2012, 03:09 AM) Name added!!!! One of the most regulars in modeling thread joined!!!  Yes, chrome powder can use, even paint can use for snapfit.... As the rules say: u can use paint to panel line, to paint those small small rivet, to paint parts that r not seperated for colors (eg HG kit that molds everything together). As long as the whole kit is not covered with paint, u r fine. So adding a bit of paint here n there just to enhance details is ok. (Psst.... not joining OOB meh?  )  like you and phoon mentioned, its not as easy to handle nib marks when doing snapfit mah.. so wanna try something new loh |

from what i understand, snapfit should be like how Ngee Khiong does his kits. paint and marker for detailing, but not fully painted. am i right?

 this is what i have planned for the swords. gonna attempt a chrome finish. can't really see it on the photo, but if you look hard enough, you can see my camera lets see if i can pull it off!  |

QUOTE(ascentic @ May 5 2012, 03:32 PM) I think it's Magic Powder that he is using yup! steps for it was this  Step 1: Sand the parts till smooth. Paint the parts glosy black. Wait to Dry. Step 2: Take some magic powder, and use some fabric to polish it on the parts. Am I right?  black > wet coat gloss > magic powder QUOTE(General_Nic @ May 5 2012, 10:30 PM) when u rub it on black gloss paint, it'll create a shiny surface that mimics chrome surface yes! technically, you can do it on other colors as well, but black turns out nicest. i tried with silver as well, but somehow or another some yellow spots appear.   QUOTE(General_Nic @ May 5 2012, 11:14 PM) most likely, with added chemical to make it super reflective i guess? as far as i know, magic powder is graphite powder. after buffing, you cannot touch it otherwise it will lose its shine. in fact, just leaving it out makes it lose its shine.. but a quick buff and it goes back to becoming nice and shiny omg my group build kits are coming very slowly, only snap fitted the feet of my RG Freedom, today jz finished painting the arms of my MG Zeta Plus  |

Phew!! Just finished one of the most stressful paintjobs ever done by myself! Creating hi gloss sure is challenging! Now hopefully the results will turn out good.. Pics later tonight. Fingers crossed for everything to turn out fine..

Pegging your kit on polystyrine is my preferred choice as well.. Come along sunday, and I'll show you. Just bring some polystyrine, toothpicks and satay sticks

QUOTE(rayloke @ Jun 5 2012, 07:22 PM) yeah the best way to transport your kit is as shauno mentioned. Oik? You teach me wan wor.. You demonstrate upside down better.. Just too bad even many veteran modelers still dont get it, n i always see a lot of newspaper wrapping n such..... Shauno, this sunday show everyone how it's done n how u can actually terbalik the whole thing.... HOHOHOHOH |
