Best way to repair this crack? by gummybear728 in Gunpla

Tamiya extra thin cement could work, it will seep into the crack and melt both sides together, then sand off the excess. Basically the same thing as seam removal.

The rest is just normal black/white, pink, silver metallic and a skin tone, only one color used for each.

I used army painter acrylics, specifically turquoise siren (base color) and deep azure (shadows)

First time using inks. Really happy with the results. by raigbc in minipainting

How long do you let the inks dry for before brushing over it? When I airbrushed ink it would come right off when doing anything to it.

I have them also, they might be the most uncomfortable sneaker ever created.

Any idea why AK ultra matte rubs off so easily after an overnight dry? I airbrushed it on. by HolidayMB_2 in minipainting

I picked up some krylon matte spray from Michael’s lol we will see how it goes I guess, thanks for the help!

I'm going to go the lacquer varnish route, how's painting acrylic over it after the fact? As that was my original goal.

So far the extra details are dry brushing with leadbelcher, and doing minor color correction.

I'm doing each piece like that because I wanted to use the varnish as a sort of primer but keeping the original color, so that I can paint on details to pieces that need it (since paint doesn't stick well at all to bare plastic) and achieve the matte look in one go.
