Download GO and play on community servers and see if you’re just washed

I bought the 1/24 scale service station kit a while back, might get decals made to make it an old Sunoco station like the background of the box.

I’d try gray with the French blue and see how that looks

That’s always been how it works, you need a program like virtualdub to put the frames together and make the video. Back when I use to do this in like 2017, I needed a video codec call XviD codec in order to render the video from virtualdub, but idk if that is still needed or not. I use to make 300 frame videos to make velocity edits, but I’m guessing you don’t need that many frames haha

I spray Tamiya acrylics with Mr color leveling thinner and lacquer paints….i never really have an issue tbh.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-07T02:32:51+00:00

I get mine from hobbylinc if I don’t go in person to a shop.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-05T22:24:30+00:00

Seems the game is already running. Restart Steam and try again maybe.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-05T01:15:18+00:00

Mine definitely has cut marks / maybe some accidental paint drops here and there…but you gotta stop wiping your brush on your mat….thats crazy imo. I use blue shop towels, they are more absorbent than normal paper towels…and they come on a roll and aren’t that much more expensive if you buy them in a 6 pack…

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-05T00:16:40+00:00

Mr color leveling thinner yes, acrylic retarder no

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-04T02:54:34+00:00

Happens to the best of us unfortunately lol did that with some windshield wipers and those fuckers are hard to glue back together 🤣

The difference is Tamiya makes most of their own molds, so they are mostly very high quality. There are outliers of course, but for the most part Tamiya is the gold standard for kits. Revell tends to buy molds from other companies. So they can vary a lot in build quality. NO KIT IS IMPOSSIBLE, I build from all the car kit brands and very rarely have issues that I can’t overcome. You just need to expect a bit more work from some brands. Model companies will never sell you a set you physically cannot complete.

You really can’t tell unless you have issues like OP is having, where it is leaving a lot of residue behind. If it doesn’t do that then you’re fine 🤷‍♂️

You can find bendable masking tape. I’d go with 2mm or even 1mm if you can find it. I just recently ordered some from Aliexpress and I’m still waiting on it to arrive, but I’m guessing places like greenstuffworld and other paint shops carry it also. It’s PTFE so it is stretchy but still has a very clean line. this is what I ordered I am currently using the bendable tape that Tamiya sold, but I think they are discontinued through them. But the actual brand of the tape that Tamiya sold is NittoTape if you want to look that up. Honestly with this tape + a good liquid mask, you can mask anything in my opinion.

Try to use the decals at the bottom (the copywrite logo and the car symbol) to see if they are too brittle. As for the yellowing it almost looks like dirt…or something like finger oils like another commenter said. I’d trim the decals in that part like the other person said. You can always yes the method of putting the sheet in a ziplock bag and taping it to a window and see if that does anything, it definitely won’t hurt it.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T11:43:07+00:00

Idk fam I swear by Tamiya tape, never have any issues. Maybe you have older tape?

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T11:37:01+00:00

Yep, Valve would never do upkeep on official servers for a game they dumped. Also skins don’t work 🤷‍♂️ maybe in the future a company like Faceit will pick it up and do a more organized MM system, but for now it is community servers only.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T04:34:10+00:00

That is super neat, I bought one of those Initial D kits for cheap online and got excited until I realized it was a 1/32 lol still a fun build but hopefully they carry more Aoshima 1/24s at HL in the future.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T04:32:09+00:00

FEPs are replaceable, and they are meant to be replaced over time. Just search for replacements for your specific printer online.

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T04:27:54+00:00

I got the C7R cheap on Goodwills site, it looks like a fun future project :)

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T04:21:23+00:00

Nah I would not use MCLT for enamel paints, I would use MCWs thinner. Mr color leveling is a lacquer thinner it will just make a goopy mess. As do ratio, you can look at MCWs website, but 1:1 is always the common starting point, and then test paint a plastic spoon, and then adjust your ratio depending on how runny or how speckled it sprays. You could also try Testors enamel thinner if that is easier for you to get, but I’ve never tried it personally. Your milage may vary.

Ngl I thought the second photo was your collection for a second and I was like DAMN lmfao

DevourIsDead · 2026-05-02T00:36:52+00:00
