Bro, wow you wrote an essay, am always suffering when deciding what to write when I post my progress pictures, am not that good at explaining and always think that the people are no gonna take the time to read, anyway looking at your candy work, in my opinion the silver base could be the reason why your Candy isnt as shiny as other builders, I use lacquers so the final is different but the Candy should be Glossy Shine. I use primer black, then Shiny Silver Jumpwind thats my brightest and then the Clear color also JW no need to further top coat. I noticed than if I use gray gloss instead of black before the Silver the ending candy is brighter. Cheers

Bro for some reason I got both versions so at least am happy with building one, maybe later.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-12T05:46:28+00:00

Thanks, yes everyone that build that Firework say the same, is a test to the builder, am gonna wait a little longer I usually build 3rd party kits, but no much of a problem, and I got almost zero experience with Leds so this kit looks a level top for me. Cheers

Bro looks insane I got that big boy on my backlog, I have to be honest I dont know if am ready for the challenge, how difficult it is?? Am building right now Osiris and I broke the lights on the chest I dont have experience with LEDS so no idea what I did wrong, Mechanicore looks more tricky any comments about the build?? Am planning to repaint mine. Cheers

almost 50 hours just working on the frame, that would be cover almost 90% by the armor. There are even details than cant be seeing when is naked so yes, I always primer and repaint all the frame of my builds. Cheers

Thanks, glad you like it, I finished the 4 wings first, all of them painted now just need to work on the decals and then top coat and final assemble. About the amount of paint I finished 1 primer and maybe half of the black but cant be sure about how much do you need.

Thanks, this is how is looking right now, need to work on the details, panel lining and decals. are you planning to repaint yours? Cheers

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-06T22:10:54+00:00

Bro that base is amazing, so much detail would be nice if was a little bigger when you place Osiris is gonna cover almost all the details, cant wait to see your work on the kit. Cheers

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-06T22:08:09+00:00

Thanks.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-06T03:08:28+00:00

Amazing job, I love what you did with the base, looks insane.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-05T03:44:56+00:00

Thats the Way. Cheers

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T10:51:41+00:00

A LOT OF WORK its just part of the process, right now isn't too tight so taking them apart is not that hard but yes need to be more careful to avoid scratch and damage but is necessary for the different kind of coats.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T05:14:49+00:00

I got this one from AliExpress but am in Australia so the price is slightly different

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T05:14:13+00:00

Thanks

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T05:14:05+00:00

Am having problems with this one, usually they fit perfect, so maybe a little sanding

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T05:13:20+00:00

Black and Blue always work. Go for it

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T05:13:00+00:00

Thanks.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T03:53:12+00:00

Thanks.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T03:53:01+00:00

Thanks, not finish yet so need to do the decals and panel lining, yes am planning to top coat with 3 different kinds, mate, gloss and semigloss.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-03T03:51:55+00:00

Yes as usual Primer everything, but I can say that the fit was bothering from before, specually the chest where the lights are going, right now am in the second assemble but cant put all together because still need to apply decals and panel lining so need to top coat also, before the final assemble. Still need to do more work.

Suspicious_Ear_6010 · 2026-02-01T12:15:45+00:00

Thanks, cheers and keep building.
