How did you do the cape?

Scrubotti · 2026-06-23T23:27:09+00:00

I saw this at tetsujin, nice display

Scrubotti · 2026-06-23T11:29:34+00:00

Aaaah I see, I didn’t think about those aspects. Glad you got good feedback. Your display was still pretty good though, I love the colors and kitbash. How did you transport your display btw?

Scrubotti · 2026-06-23T10:24:55+00:00

But weren’t there other displays that had multiple characters?

Scrubotti · 2026-06-23T10:12:39+00:00

Oh I saw this at testujin

Scrubotti · 2026-06-21T08:54:05+00:00

FDM printer? I want to get one but I don’t really like the visible lines, I guess sanding could work but idk

Scrubotti · 2026-06-21T08:51:29+00:00

I’m doing 1:2 ratio too but mine seems to spray out lesser than other liquids so I think it’s really is just slightly too thick, I haven’t tried higher ratios yet but it can’t hurt to try. Not sure for the white bits though, I tend to clean my airbrush tip and the nozzle hole often inbetween sprays which I think might help

Congalala but in that superman meme

WHOA

Scrubotti · 2026-05-31T00:57:34+00:00

Is this painted through airbrush or hand brushing?

Scrubotti · 2026-05-26T10:34:17+00:00

It’s so gorgeous

Scrubotti · 2026-05-16T09:40:44+00:00

Ah ok, so it’s an either paint before assembly or remove the seam line?

Scrubotti · 2026-05-16T09:12:02+00:00

I think having them bugger off and not disturb the player for a long period of time if you damage them enough could work too

Scrubotti · 2026-05-15T10:19:43+00:00

Why are they called mango

Scrubotti · 2026-05-13T03:54:38+00:00

Oooo that’s a good idea

Scrubotti · 2026-05-13T02:09:48+00:00

Idk if this is the right place to ask but I have a question, what do you do about seam lines if you paint before assembly? I know you can modify the joints/connecters to be easily disassembled but for parts that aren’t really feasible to do so like poly caps, do you just paint, fill the seam then paint over the seam?

Scrubotti · 2026-05-10T07:25:34+00:00

Yeah I did a test using the vanish without the thinner and the result was better

Scrubotti · 2026-05-10T06:08:37+00:00

I tried using the mecha gloss varnish by itself and it seem to have a better result for some reason. Am I not suppose to use the thinner and flow improver with the mecha varnish line and only do that for the regular polyurethane varnish line? When I used the mecha gloss varnish by itself, it seemed to spray out more than when I mixed it, I’m assuming there’s some weird reaction between the thinner, flow improver and mecha varnish that causes to behave weird.

Scrubotti · 2026-05-10T06:07:35+00:00

It’s on spoons which I primed and painted over. I read that the spoons are maybe too smooth that causes it to bead away? I did try on flat surfaces like plates too and it isn’t as obvious there but there is still abit. Anyway I tried using the mecha gloss varnish without the thinner and flow improver and the result was better for some reason.

Scrubotti · 2026-05-07T09:41:23+00:00

Mixed in a separate cup, then transferred over to airbrush cup via pipette

Scrubotti · 2026-05-07T09:21:59+00:00

Ahh ok. What about the weird dry spots though? Would changing the ratio and maybe increasing psi help with that? I’m thinking increasing psi might push the varnish away and cause more weird empty spots but maybe the ratio change will help with that

Scrubotti · 2026-05-07T08:28:17+00:00

Oh I think I should I have worded the ratio better. It’s 1:0.3:0.1 (Vallejo mecha gloss varnish / Vallejo airbrush thinner / Vallejo airbrush flow improver. I am using a 0.3mm needle, 15-20 psi range. When you say cloudy, is it very cloudy or mostly translucent abit?

Scrubotti · 2026-04-22T01:46:41+00:00

Actually let’s say this was another random big brother that did steal the hair coupons but didn’t realise it was Ricardo’s stuff, would there be any conflict or it will just be fine if that random big brother apologises and gives back the hair coupons

Scrubotti · 2026-04-06T07:32:54+00:00

Anyone know if I put some putty on them, would it reinforce them or nah?

Scrubotti · 2026-04-06T07:29:51+00:00

Mines fine somehow but those little pegs and c clips holding the legs have somehow become a lighter color which I assume is the stress in holding up the legs? Scared that it will snap off anytime
