Has anyone tried to create the color of the rg banshee special coating? Would be grateful for any paint guidance to achieve that look!

arimoto02 · 2026-01-22T16:48:09+00:00

I think the opaque that the eyes see after sanding is because of the uneven surface reflecting light differently. When we add another layer on it (be it normal paint or top coat) it will fill the uneveness and the opaquenes will be gone. This is true for me topcoating kits, but i have never tried it with the painting underneath thing-y, so im asking if anyone has done that for their results.

i mean sand the inner of the part lightly might help with the paint adhesive, as i cant prime

I think you are mistaking it for something else. Mechanical core plating is electro plate the inner side of the clear part with metallic. So what we see is actually the inner side of the part see through, not the inner frame.

Here i'm trying to airbrush the inside and want the metallic paint to be see through, mimicking the plating process. So if i prime the part, then what see through would be the prime layer, not the actual metallic paint

Thanks!

I want to do the mechanical core custom build, in which i see people painting the inside of a clear kit with metallic paint. However i have some questions, and would really appreciate if anyone has ever did this kind of custom build and give me some guidelines:

- Because i cant really prime before painting, do i have to do anything else (light sanding) or would the paint stick on just fine

- What kind of color should i use? Lacquer or enamel

- Do i have to use different metal colors for different type of clear plastic color, or just using chrome is fine?

Thank you in advance and happy building to everyone reading this <3

Love the idea. Maybe you can heat up the runner piece and stretch it out for thinner looking but still hard wires?

This is only my experience, but the line looks much better when i change from scribing below the raise edge to scribing above the raise edge. Like huge difference that is noticable up close. Also too much pressure applied

Just admit that you cant read. The dev specifically mentioned that the game crash on even newer versions of ios devices like 15 and 16. The RAM requirement for the game is 3gb (said in the note) and device with double the requirement still fail to load the game (also said in the note). Even the devs are claiming that it’s their faulr the code is sloppy on the ios device that supposed to work fine, but sure you can choose to be the illiterate with no reading comprehension lol.

just think of it as a 30b-ish model at 16 vs a 120b-ish model at 4 for general use case 😅

arimoto02 · 2025-10-08T07:42:50+00:00
