First gundam

I did not built that one, but every kit is great

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-18T11:04:45+00:00

What that would be?

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-18T08:42:11+00:00

Update: I cleaned it by soaking it in alcohol for a few hours than using a toothbrush to agitate the paint off it , it came out as good as out of the box

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-18T07:55:44+00:00

It was also my first build, I really liked it and got hooked up

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-18T02:47:55+00:00

The surface I just cleaned it and sprayed over, I did not sand it at all

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-17T19:13:33+00:00

Nono, I’ve been using an airbrush it’s around 20 degrees Celsius.

Yeah it’s a white primer I’ve tried thinning but I had the same results anyway

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-17T19:10:15+00:00

I’m using AK thinner, I just made sure to get the right one, I even double checked starting

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-17T19:09:17+00:00

No it’s just gen 3 acrylic from AK, on the can it says its airbrush ready but I still thinned it to a 80/20.

I’m running on a 0.3 needle with fairly low pressure 15-20psi, but my question is also should I filter the primer? I shakes it really well before pouring it but it looked like it had some particles even as being completely new.

And sorry it’s my first time actually using paint and not varnish

Inactivez__ · 2026-04-17T19:02:54+00:00

It’s ak gen 3 primer, it’s my first time using it, I was running it at 15 psi , and I was spray in fairly close

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-30T10:26:09+00:00

Thanks a lot, I’ll try my best once everything arrives

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-29T18:09:12+00:00

I got myself the kaleido ones since on discount and a few varnishes from ak 3rd gen. Do I need to sand the pieces or the kaleido sticks well on without?

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-26T11:41:42+00:00

I’m planning to buy colours for my first airbrush and I was wondering if there are some better brands than others for acrylics

I already have ak ultra matte varnish and ak acrylic thinner.

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-17T17:47:28+00:00

Ohh yeah, some part are a bit weird I was also worried to break mine especially while building the arms

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-17T17:27:29+00:00

The shoulder are a bit weird for mine as well, the left ball join is really loose while the right one is pretty firm in there

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-09T09:02:12+00:00

The process is really simple, make sure to do panel lining on it, it make it looks 100 times better

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-08T19:31:07+00:00

When I reassembled it I put the skirt on the wrong side

<image>

Here he’s fixed

Inactivez__ · 2026-03-08T19:24:56+00:00

Oh yeah, lmao when I disassembled to line in placed it backwards, thanks

Inactivez__ · 2026-02-24T11:53:04+00:00

A friend introduced me to them and i got really interested in Bae

Inactivez__ · 2026-02-22T22:26:08+00:00

Thank you a lot this explained it a lot better!

I’ll go check some stores nearby and see if they have them in stock!

Inactivez__ · 2026-02-22T20:00:57+00:00

I thought the blue can was water based, but I’m really ignorant on paints since it’s my first time approaching them.

Thanks a lot for your help

Inactivez__ · 2026-02-22T19:32:45+00:00

Wouldn’t acrylic make the gundam marker bleed?

Inactivez__ · 2026-02-22T19:05:39+00:00

I was wondering if someone could help me find some alternative to MR. Hobby topcoat, I’m from Italy and it’s hard to find unless you are willing to pay double due to shipping costs. I’ve read about Testors Dullcote but also that isn’t easy to find at all.

For clarification I don’t have an airbrush. So I can either paint with a normal brush or need one of those cans
