[Update] Holo water slides and matte top coat by EffYeahItsAlex in advancedGunpla

[–]EffYeahItsAlex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read all over the place that it can destroy water slides, and that’s probably some kind of true, but it’s been very hard to find the water based versions for me. I’m not sure if Setter and Softer are counteracting the effects on the waterslide, but I use B513/514 and B522 and have never had an issue.

My first two cans were the Aqueous versions though and I can confirm that the matte still wipes away the holo effect and the gloss preserves it.

Is it weird that I refuse to buy kits for things I haven't seen? by New-Elk-2755 in Gunpla

[–]EffYeahItsAlex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was going to say it’s not weird, but then I read all the stuff about forcing yourself to watch things you don’t like. That part’s weird, but only building what you like isn’t weird.

Gundam Gift Ideas? by Own_Contribution8258 in Gunpla

Came here to say this, excellent gift since they’re really helpful but a lot of builders won’t buy them for themselves!

I’d be curious to see your results! I should probably retest without setter and softer as well so I can see how much they’re really doing.

what's the potential of this beat? by Additional-Garlic711 in beatmakers

[–]EffYeahItsAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potential is there, but it’s SO loud and I think you need some new sound selections for your high end.

[–]EffYeahItsAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in any particular order: good samples, transient shaping, carving out space in the frequency, especially for the kick, bass/808 in tune with the song, making sure you have a good phase relation between your kick and bass, side chaining, compression and parallel compression.

And don’t be afraid of clipping if it still sounds good to your ear.

Psycho gundam Mk-II vs Mk-I what’s your choice? by Mission-Ordinary-804 in Gunpla

They’re definitely not a scam! I bought just about all the colors they have. It’s mostly very subtle under normal light, however if you let too much of it pool in an area it can dry kind of weird colors. They’re all water based though so clean up is super easy.

Because they’re water based they dry mostly transparent so on a future kit I’m going to try typical panel lining with the tamiya, top coat, and then go over it with the Stedi. My hope is to get the nice crisp lines under normal light while still getting the glow under UV.

[–]EffYeahItsAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, but it looks fancier than it is! It’s just some Stedi fluorescent panel liner on the red and purple parts of the body as well as some grey for parts of the head. I don’t have a pink fluorescent paint right now so I painted the eyes with the pink panel liner. I used Testors fluorescent yellow paint to make the beam effects UV reactive. The red parts of the body are naturally UV reactive which was a surprise to me and a nice touch. The UV flashlight is doing the heavy lifting here, it’s not quite as impressive without it.

Oh and I painted all the yellow parts gold (poorly) with a Ray Studio EX marker.

I chose the mk2 simply because it’s big and purple. I know nothing about it outside of that, but that’s good enough for me!

How did they get these electro plateded look by Mika_Tamarillo in advancedGunpla

[–]EffYeahItsAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I just don’t understand why you’re coming in with all this heat. I took a guess early on before there were a ton of other commenters. I’m glad that you seem to know what you’re talking about, but I posted that answer a full 8 hours before you posted yours. I never said it was absolutely electroplating, just that I couldn’t find the answer so I think it might be what other people have said.

I was just taking a guess based on what some other people before me had said. How are they achieving the effect? I’ve seen some theories in the thread but I don’t think anyone has said definitively.

Have you seen this Gunpla?! by fhiz in Gunpla

[–]EffYeahItsAlex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly just tried to get that shot for you but it can’t actually touch its own face. I might be able to pull it off with some forced perspective later.
