QUOTE(dishwasher @ Jan 9 2009, 05:41 PM) Use the 'wash' technique. Thin some grey/black paint, and then run it over the panel lines. Do a search on google. thx bro..but wad type of paint should i use?enamel or acrylic?or both also can be use? Added on January 9, 2009, 8:54 pmso both tamiya surface primer also can be use for gunpla right? This post has been edited by -Kouichi-: Jan 9 2009, 08:54 PM |

QUOTE(dishwasher @ Jan 9 2009, 10:07 PM) Paint has different 'strenght'. Generally its lacquer, enamel, acrylic. If you use an enamel wash on acrylic, its gonna reactivate the acrylic paint and mess up your model. Acrylic however sucks as a wash because of the surface tension of water, so... thx thx alot..so i can't just simple use paint wash technique for pane lining huh?Go to Ace Hardware and buy a bottle of Future Floor Wax (55 ringgit I know cos I ran out and bought another bottle today). Paint your kit, let it dry, spray Future on it, let it dry, and then you can do an enamel wash without really worrying about paint reactivation. Remember to really thin your wash as well! Oh, and yes, you can use tamiya primer. I'm so broke I use bosny automobile primer. so generally most of the pros use the wash technique or gundam marker?? |

thx alot davelcm..well i tried panel lines with gundam marker b4 i flat coat..its still hard to rub off the excess..mayb its because im using mr.color flat (lacquer)..
i dun hav enamel right now..coz this is my 1st ever finished painting a kit with airbrush..so i use gundammarker instead..screwed up abit when doing panel lines.. so if i use gundam marker for panel line..i hav to apply a gloss coat too?so i can wipe off the excess easily on painted surface?? |
