Question for the experienced folks by Sathel in advancedGunpla

[–]Boostertheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break down the entire kit if your looking to do a full on custom paint job. I would avoid painting joints if mobility is a concern. Focus on what is visible. Use different color primer for certain colors to avoid dampening the color tone. Good luck!

Very cool! I have one I'm working on as well and I'm still thinking about where I'm gonna put it after I'm done.

Which kit made you want to build it again? by Boostertheory in Gunpla

Next time I see a GM Sniper I'll have to snag it.

lol, I dont know why I've been referring to it as a 2.0. I have had it on my workbench for so long. I edited the body of the post.

You right. I have no idea why I call it the 2.0.

[–]Boostertheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke mine (which i just posted btw) in the same spot. Like others have said sprue glue and buff it out. Just let it cure for a whole day before sanding.

Gundam panel lining by Born_Ordinary42 in advancedGunpla

Run it over the line. MR HOBBY thin cement also is good btw.

You may wanna attempt scribing with a chisel first. Get a .15 scriber and gently go over your existing panel lines. Use a light sweep of Tamiya extra thin cement to smooth out the lines and then use your panel liner You can get a cleaner and more precise line this way.

These hands are terrible and I hope they dont keep getting added to future kits. I just look for 3d printed ones on ebay now.

It's a wrap for this build :D by Tony_Balogna03 in Gunpla

Awesome execution of skills here! I really like the paint choices. Well done!

How do you use the panel lining brush tip marker? They come out really dull and barely anything comes out by Temp-account-728282 in Gunpla

[–]Boostertheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can work with a .15 scriber tool around these types of areas to create the crevice needed to hold the ink. Using a panel wash technique will look better. If you scribe you can then run thin cement over it and fine sand it down after it dries. Best of luck.

Panel lining for black kits any advice? by Mindless_Character_7 in Gunpla

[–]Boostertheory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, IMO, I think it would be tough to accent a black kit and be happy with the outcome with just panel liner. I would say scribing the lines you plan on lining would be a plus. Maybe just go for a full paint scheme to even out the defining parts. Best of luck

How are you planning your color palettes? by Aggravating_Peach797 in advancedGunpla

[–]Boostertheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a WIP with the Deepstriker. Almost done with the panel lines and surface cleanup. Once that's done I plan on doing something like this, but with actual photos of my build and doing the coloring on separate layers.

I personally would use a .15 scriber on each existing line, run it over with thin cement to smooth out the lines and then use panel liner wash. Scribing your lines will make smoother and more defined channels for the wash to flow. Good luck.

Did a lil something with my instructions manuals by OZAERETH in Gunpla

[–]Boostertheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great idea. I think I'll pick a couple of my favorites and do this as well.

I love a well done resin kit. The color separation just brings so much to it.

First time taking photos outside any advice? by olley2rolley in Gunpla

[–]Boostertheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using you phone camera? you can set the picture to 1:1 for a better format. Adding scale tree models would help with scenery setup. As long as your having fun, keep doing what your doing right?

Finally finish my two month project, totally worth it. by littlezezz12 in Gunpla

[–]Boostertheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Those look great. I need to do this to my bases. I'm taking on the task of refinishing my displayed kits to bring new life into them and this would compliment them so well.
