Two arms and you spent almost two cans? Something is definitely WRONG with the way you painted those pieces, definitely not just '2 layers'.

I sprayed the whole MG ARF frame too, and I still have some volume left for the Tamiya spray can, which volume is way less than those spray cans you can find in normal hardware shops.

If you want to bring out the metallic colors, you need dark undercoat/basecoat, especially black.

A more appropriate thread to discuss painting is here.

Since you are using normal spray paint, don't be skimpy on the usage. By that I mean yes, spray piece by piece and be really patient.

If you want your metallic silver to shine (which is the purpose of painting with metallic color), then use black base coat (gloss, it will help the silver to stick better).

There are lots of good painting tutorial, just search on the Internet for spray painting tutorial.

That's almost RM 4k of Gunpla, in just a few months

But they are screaming to be worked further on man

RE1/100 line is intended for kits with MG-like details but with articulation, part separation and counts of an HG.

Good effort on your first trial, a popular customs color scheme nevertheless (silver/black combo)

However, try to improve your painting technique, obvious paint blotches on the shoulders, and pay attention to the complete build and identify which area needs to be painted. While some areas do not need to be painted, but there are crevices that must be taken care of, evident by the reds on arms and at the hips.

Oh and since you use silver, use mechanical pencil to draw the panel lines, normal Gundam marker usually do not work well on shiny pieces (depends on paint type)

I really don't like dry transfer, I would rather pay an extra of RM 15-RM 20 to get waterslide decal, the quality is higher and much more convenient. There was one third party water slide which was pre-cut, forgot the brand (not Samuel), very nice.

Nightmares of dark colored kits, the nubs

Prepare your file, sandpapers and paints gentlemen

What model?

Usually you should check the limb's articulation individually, then you'll know their movements range when assembled. You can also look at the manual and the box to see the 'recommended poses', or refer to online reviews.

Ehehehehe

I think it's about time we leave him be, most of the time his posts are self-contradicting.

Tryon 3 and Crossbone X1 will be released too!

The End, Denial, Crossbone, Tryon.... shit, this is going to look bad on my wallet

You can do customized build on any kit from any series if you are imaginative enough

P-Bandai Exclusive [Soon]:

Already out, availability in Malaysia is usually 3-4 weeks late, unless you buy from Japan websites and use EMS

***wishful thinking that Bandai has finally done the gold color mold right***

Nah...

It's weird, we should be hearing news about Litt Tak warehouse clearance by now

Yes, normally they would have put up the promo by now.

The manipulator works fine for me, just need a very small piece of card board to slip into the palm/wrist joint, and blutack in thewrist/arm joint. Works wonderful.

Missed the Poslaju guy this evening, my HiNu Brave

And looks like it will be chrome afterall, but need more images to be convinced to make a purchase.

Yeah that's why need more images, from the top until the calf it looks like a finished product
