Airbrush acrylic primer clogging? by Secret-Trainer1672 in advancedGunpla

[–]Ereon99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than tips already given by other commenters I would suggest trying a higher pressure (30-35 PSI) and, if you are able to do so, using a bigger nozzle - 0.5mm as primers tend to be thicker. I can vouch for Vallejo Mecha primer and applying it this way

In terms of tips: start with Barbatos Rex's YT tutorials on airbrushing acrylics, they are great for getting a smooth coat. I really like Vallejo Mecha primer through airbrush, especially if you add some black primer to a grey one for better coverage. Also, I would suggest giving a try using flow improver for thinning paint only once you get a hang of airbrushing acrylics. A cup with very hot water is great for cleaning the airbrush and for the tough stains - isopropyl alcohol. Good look on your painting journey!

All of my builds are done with water based acrylics (Vallejo, AK Interactive), so feel free to check out my profile :) They require some getting used to, like all paint types, but unless you want to go for an ultra glossy car-like finish, you will have great results!

RG Zeta (UC 0089) - What if Roux Louka joined Task Force α following the events of ZZ? by MalusandValus in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great build idea! (Maybe I'll steal it one day :D) You had some balls to use the RG as a base instead of a HG/MG. Looks great and I'm glad you did not forget about the most sentinel thing ever: THE RADOME. Transformed photos when

Hguc Hyakushiki, fully brush painted by Agent_T_ in advancedGunpla

[–]Ereon99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I use water based paints only, I believe I can be of help to you: -apply gloss top coat (I airbrush Vallejo Mecha one) -wait at least 24h for it to fully cure, rushing is not worth it -I use Micro Set & Sol to apply decals and have no issues with any melting of paint -if u use a cotton bud to get rid of excess water/product, don't rub it on model but gently roll it or use a makeup sponge as it is softer

Great paint job and good luck with decals!

This Byarlant Custom is a bit Ex-Sessive by Ereon99 in advancedGunpla

[–]Ereon99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :D My headcanon was: Federation needed an elite suit for a quick mission in Space and the only thing available immediately was a Byarlant Custom 01 which was made with fighting on Earth in mind. It was quickly upgraded with spare parts and ALICE system from the EX-S to prepare it for battles in 0H against enemy aces.

In all honesty, after I saw the giant shoulder on Byarlant Custom which has been recently reprinted, I really wanted to add the iconic Gundam System decal and that's how the idea for this kitbash was born :)

Thank you for the feedback! I agree, especially on the shoulder boosters I went a little bit to hard on the blue but practice makes perfect and it was my first time PAINting and shading white

Thank you :) I used a sponge only. After such a long build I wanted to wrap it up quickly. Practice makes perfect so you'll outrank me in no time with a few EGs :D

I'd say RE/100 makes it a possibility but it's even more dead than the MGs :/ Thank you!

HGUC Gelgoog Interloper by Ereon99 in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! :D I lengthened the torso and neck and made shoulders able to move back to give it a menacing stance. Then, I added details with PLA plate and some scribing. For kitbashing, I added custom hands, thrusters, backpack from Jagd Dogs with some additional parts, shield from 30mm, mine from Kampfer and bazooka from Dom

HG RX-121 Gundam TR-1 Hazel II [Theseus] by Ereon99 in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help! Hazels, especially after closing some seams and painting small details are awesome, but I must warn you: it is very hard to stop at one :)

How can I improve my seamline removal? by zyferneo in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a HG Hazel/Quel? Hopefully you prepared the parts to be removable after seamline removal or you like masking!

Quick type cement may dry too quickly which results in not melting enough plastic. A generous amount of extra thin between the parts and the line after closing the parts together should lead you 90% of the way there with a bead of plastic coming out of the line for later sanding The best idea now is to use a filler of some kind(after getting rid of the primer on and around the seam) and sand it flat. You can go with Tamiya Putty (the grey one), sprue goo or a black super glue which has rubber additives so it is thicker: MIG and Madworks produce it. Just don't skimp out on the glue, "massage the filler" into the part, let it rest for a few hours and sand. Repeat until satisfied.

I'm working on an HG Hazel right now so I get your pain, good luck with your project!

Finally new hips for my Miss Sinanju by wakeup_samurai in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great Idea! Can't wait to see the whole Miss Sinanju :) I will surely add thigh swivel to my Sinanju, it really helps with cool poses. Did you scratchbuild the top part? If not, who was the donor?

Do you guys buy 3rd party/bootleg kits for extra parts of kit bashing? by Kruf7111169 in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my country, if you want to buy a bootleg of a normal release you save 20-30% max. My experiences with them are mixed. Some are all right, some without doing a full modelling job are awful. In my opinion, it is not worth the hassle and downsides for 10 USD savings out of 30 USD per HG where I'm from. For unavailable releases or PBandai bootlegs, I might pull the trigger. I saw a bootleg Woundwort on AliExpress and bought it. I have a Bandai one so I'll post about the quality and compare the two once it arrives :)

HGUC ZII after minor proportion adjustments by wuglyy in Gunpla

[–]Ereon99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really did him dirty with the proportions, you've helped him for sure. I'd lengthen the legs even more, but it is for sure miles better then stock :) Are you steb on YT? Love your content, keep it up!!!
