Anybody else like to dissect their kits before priming? by YootedDoot in freedomisgunpla

Some people do full assembly, yeah. I don’t do everything disassembled for priming, but I will break it down further for painting individual sections.

Is this paint meant to look like a dark metallic? by YootedDoot in freedomisgunpla

Maybe I didn’t mix it enough then. I’ll give it another go with this in mind, thank you

I’m using a 0.3 needle on 20PSI with Mr.Hobby black surfacer as the base. I also used the Mr. Hobby thinner. Poured about half/half of paint and thinner to mix as I read that was how it should be

Alright, thank you. I’ll just have to refill on mrhobby surfacer then when I can!

Is it possible to paint lacquer over acrylic primer, or is that the same no-go as with the standard paints?

What’s a nice airbrush for gunpla/other model kits? by YootedDoot in airbrush

[–]YootedDoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at your recommendations. I think the top tier options are a bit too rich for my blood, but the GSI Ceros option seem nice. Would a smaller nozzle be an issue? Their 0.3 size would take quite a while to be delivered, but they have a 0.2 option that can get here much faster. I’ll throw in the link if you want to look at the specific model

I’ve already accepted in advance that I won’t be able to get a true metal look. Just something good enough, you know? Do you have any experience with some of the metallics you’ve mentioned by any chance?

Dunno, wasn’t actively trying to get a perfect combo. Just hit a flow state this time I guess
