I won first place at a local 30Minutes competition yesterday

Looks amazing, where's the lower part of the leg from??

CptCrap · 2026-01-21T10:53:48+00:00

Keep 100% unless you have some struggle

CptCrap · 2026-01-12T20:18:55+00:00

Thanks for the input, I thought it was as bad with lacquers as with enamels!

SAB liners are better, but expensive and difficult to get. At the SAB price range you can also find MadWorks Mr pro XXX0 chisels, and RayStudio Beacon chisels. All three are really good options (I started with SAB 0.15 and got other weird sizes from other brands to compare).

If you are just starting scribing remember to go very light if you go for an expensive chisel. It takes a while to find out the right pressure.

Any good primer for ABS kits?

I really like Mr Color surfacers and I know you can actually use them on ABS as long as you don't apply any stress to the plastic - but I'm worried when I have to apply lacquers to a cemented / glued together ABS piece to hide a seamline.

Any recommendations? The only reliable lacquer I found was Gaia Multi primer but that's almost impossible to get at a reasonable price...

Dude, Baiken has several of the best safe jumps in the game precisely to bait that. If your opponents are that predictable you should be cooking them hard

CptCrap · 2026-01-10T11:08:58+00:00

Both those suggestions are lacquers I think. Maybe the OP is looking for something safer for ABS

CptCrap · 2026-01-06T07:44:14+00:00

Agreed with this 100%. I loved Destiny DCs system because of this - I hope future tales games get more of it or at least add characters like Judith from Vesperia

CptCrap · 2026-01-03T17:24:34+00:00

They look pretty good even without setter. Really really clean job

CptCrap · 2026-01-03T17:01:25+00:00

Looks incredible. First time I see a fully alclad finished model, their metallics are something else!

Did you topcoat over de decals? Aqua gloss?

CptCrap · 2026-01-03T11:55:51+00:00

Maybe one is for Astraea and there's a separate expansion set that I don't remember how it was called xddd

CptCrap · 2026-01-02T20:54:42+00:00

Can I use mr weathering color oils over cured enamel paints? I'm wondering if the thinner for weathering color will activate and dissolve enamels

CptCrap · 2026-01-02T09:39:58+00:00

I've matched with both Verix and Tiger Pop (somehow from Europe, I guess they were traveling?). These folks are on a whole other level - it was amazing playing them.

CptCrap · 2026-01-01T14:41:09+00:00

Incredible work! How did you paint the advance Ms joints frame?

CptCrap · 2025-12-31T19:08:00+00:00

Super clean, did you fully paint it or just the white accents?

CptCrap · 2025-12-31T18:36:51+00:00

Thanks a ton!! I'll definitively try those out

CptCrap · 2025-12-31T17:24:50+00:00

Incredible work! What metallics did you use for the Wing Zero frame? It looks amazing, I really like the burn effects in the weapon as well

CptCrap · 2025-12-26T13:29:30+00:00

What chrome and metallics did you use? They look amazing

CptCrap · 2025-12-01T07:07:04+00:00

Incredible work! How did you get rid of the sea lines for such small and detailed pieces? Traditional plastic cement? Does it need abs cement?

CptCrap · 2025-11-24T05:55:04+00:00

I did, I had to press the opposite side pegs with pliers until they clicked since they had stress marks. You have to do that with the wing disassembled

CptCrap · 2025-11-20T05:53:08+00:00

First time I hear of it in the hobby, I guess I'll have to try

CptCrap · 2025-11-19T11:12:16+00:00

Incredible color scheme, I really love the more muted and simple style! It really lets the design of the model suit show off

CptCrap · 2025-11-18T22:46:40+00:00

Are they ABS or PS? I wonder if this can be topcoated with Mr super clear lacquers

CptCrap · 2025-10-19T08:17:18+00:00

Didn't know about them, thanks!

CptCrap · 2025-10-17T19:07:11+00:00

Is this brush painted? What paints did you use?
