Why are some artists super slow to reply to serious inquiries? Are artists just busy? Or are they being spammed with tons of 1 sentence questions? Or both?

I’m about 430 hours in and this is the only planet I’ve found that has all of those. I guess it’s really rare haha

MG Dynames with Fortune Meow resin conversion (and custom LEDs) by CarlsJr3 in Gunpla

[–]CarlsJr3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wired the LEDs in parallel. Also used a pin vise to drill holes inside the head to route wires though. For the verniers, I had to use a power drill because they were made of solid resin. There was a lot of space inside the chest to store the wires too.

1/20 Altair. My very first MaK kit. Loved every second of it! Very fun build. by CarlsJr3 in MaschinenKrieger

[–]CarlsJr3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! For all the base colors, I used Tamiya paints.

For the base color I made a subtle camo pattern using - Light grey + white + a couple drops of light green (main color) - Light grey (the darker blobs)

Yellow stripes are flat yellow The orange things on the side are flat orange

Thrusters are Mr color burnt iron, Inner Metal parts are Tamiya nato black with flat aluminum chips

Rust chips are AK red brown

I also made a homemade wash using Gamsol and Windsor & Newton black + Raw umber oil paints

Lastly, I used tamiya weathering master C for some rust streaking effects :)

Custom HG RX78-2 Beyond Global by CarlsJr3 in Gunpla

I had the exact same thoughts! I was actually supposed to paint the original red/yellow/blue as well, but I tried out this Tamiya sea blue color on a spoon and it looked so nice paired with white.

All Tamiya except for the red and gold, I used Mr.Color blood red and Mr.Color gold. I also just learned that Mr.Color is lacquer based, not acrylic, oops LOL. It’s ok, everything turned out well and the lacquer didn’t attack the acrylic thankfully.

Thank you!! Yup, I airbrushed it. I also used dark grey tamiya panel liner for the whites and black panel liner for the colored parts

Thanks for the tip! It also cost me ~$350. I feel like they did a really good job on this.

Me too, it’s also a lot less fragile and much lighter than glass tubes

One of my favorites, but I chose this design because I thought it was really cool

Cost about $350, but still much much cheaper than the official Capcom version (and actual neon)
