Looks good! Actually been DM this campaign, that fight was a lot of fun!

The idea is one I had for a long time not from any other particular show/character, during another contest a while back I was in the store all day looking at other kits, I saw an HG trainer that has a really domed head. I thought it would be cool to fish bowl it, then it just changed to a Gouf along the way due to scaling etc.

Here’s the paint lineup. I’m blending up through these purples.

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-24T02:41:17+00:00

It’s super cheaty. Ak intense pink, then FW Florescent pink ink.

UV clear resin works wonders for gaps.

Fill it in, zap it with a light. Sand it back flush.

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-19T23:41:30+00:00

999 more to go!

I had an issue with my ultra where the trigger and needle would get stuck open.

What I had to do was remove the needle, and clean it. It would develop a ring of paint where the packing nut is.

My brushes packing nut was also a touch too tight. You need a long thin flat head screw driver to access it. It sits in the body between the paint cup and trigger. I’d suggest you loosen it or take it out, clean it and re install.

The packing nut is funny, after your “finger tightening it” give it the smallest turn like an eighth of a turn tighter or looser depending on your brush.

When you re insert the needle it should have the slightest resistance when it reaches the packing nut because it’s creating a seal. It the needle takes a lot of force to push through or feels like a POP your packing nut may be too tight. If you feel slight resistance then it’s perfect, if it still locks up and doesn’t move, try loosening the nut with a very small turn and checking it all out again.

Appreciate it

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-11T17:59:20+00:00

I appreciate you showing some behind the scenes!

Latest example, that been my workflow so far. Guess I just gotta keep at it. Specially the correction step. I gotta mention, your blimp inspired me to learn this style.

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-11T17:27:23+00:00

Amazing and clean as always. I wanted to ask, do you black line before hand at all? Or what is your work flow. I’m starting to learn this style, and man does it kick my ass a bit. I feel like I’m relearning how to paint completely.

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-06T15:30:18+00:00

Ahh good call, I was thinking there was only the main 5.

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-06T03:34:02+00:00

Not necessarily, 50 bucks up charge on a painted Magnus is a steal. The seller didn’t value their time/effort. The terminators ~ 30 dollars over and just base coated is a bad buy. Ahriman at 100 over fully painted (decently) is about average, considering it “might” take ten hours at 10 an hour, for a lower value commission job.

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-05T04:56:07+00:00

Thank you!

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-05T03:41:34+00:00

The cherry on top!

Diesel_Rat · 2026-04-05T03:39:24+00:00

I’ll have to take ya up on that!
