Sadly, my first few attempts to do this ended up with horrendous results Model Kits Gundam & Mecha modelling thread V33, Gunpla builders assemble!

QUOTE(Twobad @ Feb 6 2014, 12:51 AM) Just painted this guy for the MG Geara Doga Awesome » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Details were painted using a 00-brush with a sharp tip. For such small figures you need a palette to thin/mix your paints, 'cause you need to try out the right thickness: Color to thin=mini will be flooded, to thick=details get lost. Also make sure there's not a blob of paint on the brush before applying by whiping it over paper e.g. Last step is one or two washes with diluted black enamel (after a thin layer of varnish) to bring out the detail, then carefull clean-up with a cotton-bud (just like panel-lining with Zippo) On another note, I'm sold on the RG Exia, it's nice to see them breaking away from the current B frame (as speculated and visually evident by the prototype image |

QUOTE(orestes @ Feb 6 2014, 08:40 AM) was thinking of using sharpies for it ... but then i thought, will the color stick on the plastic .. My experience with sharpie, only the metallic sharpie (gold, silver and bronze) sticks, however they do not stick really well to the new PS frame.Avoid normal sharpie to paint on the armor, it will be terrible. On the other hand, I paint my 3.0 transparent head visor with normal red sharpie, it illuminates really well when the LED is on |

An impulse purchase of Kampfer Amazing, and also an impulse decision to do a quick custom paint
Flat black for armor, yellow-coated silver for the gold furnishing, silver for joints, bronze for verniers and heat pipes. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yeah shame on me for the bad quality images |

QUOTE(Owweichieh91 @ Feb 16 2014, 08:28 PM) ya bro this technique i try before ,sadly i cut too deep for all model so sad , by the way which sanding grit u using to smooth the surface are u into painting the model? I think if you are into painting, you just have to worry about leveling the nub marks. The plastics quality is good enough that it does not require priming or sanding anymore Try starting with 600 and all the way until 2000.

QUOTE(OhNooy @ Feb 17 2014, 10:20 PM) Apply flat coat on armors separately, but how about the panel lines and decals? Some decals will run through multiple pieces of armor. You're gonna have a very hard time to mask the frame. You're supposed to slice the decal that sticks on few pieces, like on the shoulder.I'm thinking of do coating this way too. Just mask all the gold part especially chrome plated part. |
