i share My faster way, & accuracy for masking Camouflage (digital) that color tones more than 2 above.
I get A4 blank white sticker, Just print it & cut the shape out. Or u can print a Graph on the sticker paper & decide the digital masking pattern by using hand pencil.
It way too Fast to save your time by using traditional Masking Tape. The adhesive not stong that will peeling your paint.
Later i will use it for my next project, 1/35 ZTZ digital camouflage.
Recommend for Accuracy (Camouflage) Masking based on the 2d view.



It accuracy bcos it allow u to use computer trace & print it out.

definitely not this shop! not replying any email or question. slow shipping, my order took 1 week and parcel still not in my hand now. tracking no given is useless, trace nothing but shit on the Gdex website, and i do not know where is my parcel right now, destiny like MH370, perhaps ?

hi, i need some advise...

i have painted my megatron rotf leader class with mr metal iron

to ensure that the color doesnt come off, what type of finishing shud i use?

is it mr hobby super clear? or top coat?

since its metal color, should i get gloss, semi gloss, matt or flat?

thanks

Best not use any lacquer based gloss or clear coat on the metallic finishes as they will lost their shine due to the metallic particles in the paint being diminished. You can try using an acrylic coat like Future but its a bit expensive.

normaly for metal effect paint, used lacquer Flat black + Silver. It more stronger.

thank you guys

hye all, im kinda new on building models... so i need some guide.. is what im doing right? and im not into major painting.. just some detail(small) painting...

1. Build
2. Paint (Acrylic)
3. Coat (Mr Super Clear)
4. Panel wash (enamel wash)
5. Decal
6. Top coat

is it the right sequence?

It the right sequence but 3rd step should be gloss coat since MR Super Clear is just a lacquer base topcoat and gloss coat will help the enamel wash to flow better and make waterslide decals less likely to experience silvering. Personally i skip step 3 because the lack of time and use panel line marker instead panel wash but there a new pen marker that work like panel wash under the gundam marker lineup.

i bought this is it alright? it says gloss

Yep that should be fine but just need to remember that Mr Hobby Topcoat and MR Super Clear do the same thing just the MR Hobby Topcoat is acrylic base and Mr Super Clear is lacquer base.

guys, anyone here using createx colors on gundam?

whats createx?

they got plenty of series. wicked color is the multi surface paint, so probably can try on gundam but not sure the result.
all water-based.

check out here

tried on my mini copper car kit...
use it straight from the bottle...shame no local shop/online selling them...

or do you got lobang?

ehh. u mean straight from the bottle without thinning? the wicked series one is it?

local u can try touchdiy. that's where i came to know about this createx, never been there before but saw they got sell at their webpage.
go and have a look at their shop then report to us aite!

guys, is it possible to airbrush gaianotes ex04 clear flat as a flat topcoat? to unpainted build? if it is, what is the thinning ratio? thanx in advance.

Hi guys

im new in Air Brush

can i know how to fix this problem ?

got some split come out



this quite okie



but after that got the problem again




i dont wnat my Project bunta look ugly

tried surfing touchdiy..
can't find any createx??

yup...straight from the bottle...
i try opaque series btw..

looks like your undercoat is too thick..
thin it more...but not too thin.. just ngam2...
try to get 'milk' consistency ..

BTW can't see your 3rd picture..

common issue for ab.
1) dust
2) shake no thoroughly.
3) your paint dry at the mount of AB if u let it for 1-3min.

to avoid, use cotton butt to clear the ab mount everytime u wanna spray it, then press the spray to spray in test area to let the dot out (do not release the ab button)..... from spray area move it to your car. Do not release the ab button until u finish spray the layer.

let it dry, spray the second layer using the same method.
this method quit annoying, if gundam got dot paint, simply use finger to rub it & respray it.
