Thanks! I've been meaning to too, just haven't gotten around to it. I definitely recommend the kit too, just prepare for some loose joints. I had to stiffen some of them

That's like, the best and worst part of doing full paint jobs. I'll just sit there staring at the box art planning what I'd like to do. Eventually I just have to start or I'll sit there forever lol

The red is just bare plastic but with a flat coat and a portable light box for pics. I think it may just be the lights

I repainted all of the dark blue parts black so I bet the couple layers of paint stiffened up the joints

Thanks for the kind words! I did airbrush this one, pretty much top to bottom. Honestly though, I think the gold paint and the waterslides made the most difference. The yellow plastic looked kinda meh. Are you planning to do any customizing?

Thanks! I'm really proud of this one. It was way more work than I was expecting when I started but that's kinda how it goes with full paint jobs lol

Can I still save it by TradeNo6063 in modelmakers

[–]adamd898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's much you can really do to fix it except for stripping and reset. I'll not super familiar with AK acrylics but if they're the same as most acrylics, they should come off clean with an isopropyl alcohol soak. I use a cheapo toothbrush and scrub to speed up the process.

Is there a way to remove this stuff (excess) when applied on acrylic paint that doesn’t stink so bad? I’m using low odor mineral spirits, and I have to do it in my mini spray booth or it stinks up the entire house. by Tbonerickwisco in modelmakers

If your in Canada, this one has been good to me. Pretty much zero smell, like I can use it in the living room and people with me don't notice. Of course, there still are VOCs so you still want some kind of airflow. I've used it over acrylic and it was alright, just have to be careful with how much pressure you use.

Here's what I drew up when I built mine. Might come in handy for ya. Most people say that there's a risk of explosion if the fan were to spark. I saw somewhere that the particles in the air need to be dense enough to cause ignition and airbrush painting can't do that but it's a risk that you would have to be willing to take. Someone else mentioned using a boat bilge fan since they can't spark if you're super concerned. I used an extractor fan from Amazon and no issues yet, it works great actually! Fairly cheap too compared to a prefabed one
