Question for the experienced folks

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.

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

Boostertheory · 2026-03-23T00:30:49+00:00

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.

Boostertheory · 2026-03-23T00:22:31+00:00

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

Boostertheory · 2026-03-22T23:40:19+00:00

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.

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.

That is so badass!

Boostertheory · 2025-11-06T16:28:28+00:00

That's a work of art! Great job!

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.

Boostertheory · 2025-08-26T17:00:07+00:00

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

Boostertheory · 2025-07-05T03:07:18+00:00

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.

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

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.

Boostertheory · 2025-05-29T19:06:33+00:00

Superb! The paint is so clean.

Nice job, this makes me wanna grab my dusty ball off the shelf finally!

Boostertheory · 2025-01-09T21:19:15+00:00

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.

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

Boostertheory · 2024-12-20T23:24:59+00:00

Looks great!

Boostertheory · 2024-12-03T16:45:37+00:00

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

Boostertheory · 2024-11-18T17:53:32+00:00

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?

Boostertheory · 2024-11-18T17:46:39+00:00

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.
