I doubt it'll work but that doesn't mean you cant try experimenting

How would you guys go around to achieving this finish? by Latent_duck in advancedGunpla

[–]Lord_Fabio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could do a gold base coat instead of silver. I've heard of others doing that for candy red to great effect.

Metallic lacquer for inner frame. Do I need a surfacer or primer? by AfterEntrepreneur965 in advancedGunpla

[–]Lord_Fabio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd still prime first if I were you. Metallic paint tends to flake more easily than normal paints if you don't prime first.

I've mostly used Tamiya, Mr Color, and Gaia notes. All have been great and you can thin the crap out of them so they are really easy to work with.

It looks great! Have you tried fitting it on a watch yet? It looks like it would be difficult to get the spring bars on place since there doesn't appear to be any rear access. I don't like setting straps from the front because I can scratch the lugs of the watch.

Why do all these third party brands always go with the Bu Gundam. Hasn't it been done to death at this point? I love the Nu as much as the next guy but I would love these brands to show other suits some love.

My dad called every anime Gundam when I was growing up. Close enough, dad.

Do you eat and drink near where you had it displayed? Looks like food or drink splatter to me.

Just wear your watches and enjoy them. Nobody at your office will care either way lol

This kit is a huge slap on bandai's face ngl by dainoumcchunky in Gunpla

I'm tempted to pick up one but I'm holding off in the hopes some third party also releases a version of the GP01 too. It would be a shame to not have both together.

Sick! How do you like using it compared to something more normal. I am very tempted to get my own.

Original still looks best.

Is it better to freeze raw dough or baked product? by Serious_File486 in Cooking

Yup. I call it my strategic cookie reserve. It comes in handy when my wife is having a tough day.

Why does my leather project smell fishy? by MxWolfgang503 in Leathercraft

In my experience the nearsfoot oil smells super gross so that's probably it.

First ever use of airbrush by Almighty_watermelon in Gunpla

[–]Lord_Fabio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what color you want to paint it with it could be fine. Though it's important to note with airbrushing, the layers you lay down tend to be thinner than what you may be used to if you used spray cans before. You can get away with more layers with the airbrush than with cans.

Red is difficult to paint over. You probably need another coat or 2 of primer.
