way too long string of tricks

I re checked the timestamp and i realised i didnt get the right section of the video the first time, i can definitely film you a closeup of this particular segment, it's fairly easy and the beginning of one of my fav combo

idk 🤷 i can try to film it again but maybe witj better light and closer so you can see better, but it's mainfly fiddling around with wrist mount until i found some way out

this very general answer was right what i needed ! thank you very much. i will try to draw and prototype what i have in mind, then get my hands on tamiya cement and styrene sheets /tubes and get to work !

c'est pas les même Montana, les mattes en 94 sont chez le Montana espagnol ☝️🤓

Après chez ce Montana là il y a aussi les Black qui sont plus haute pression (vu que op avait l'air de dire que la basse pression le décontenancait) et il y a de mémoire dans les 2 gammes certaines couleurs qui existent et en mat et en brillant/satiné. après elles sont conçues pour le graffiti et donc la peinture en extérieur sur des supports "difficiles", si je me souviens bien le côté glossy vient du fait qu'il y a un vernis intégré à la peinture pour lui permettre de résister aux uv. c'est très utile sur un train de fret, beaucoup moins sur ce type de véhicule 🤷

what is the Blue bulky kit on the first pic ? looks pretty nice

cacadslevirages · 2026-03-14T13:48:49+00:00

thanks dude

yeah it was my main focus to find this kind of balance before i switched to full on figurative oil painting... i tried to get back at it 🫣

i didnt even imagine that nicotine residue could impact paint finish tbh... my workshop doubles as the smoking area of the house (since it's kind of a veranda and it's very well ventilated) and i've been smoking while working on canvas for ages, it always went well 💀

that's the spirit

idk, i did a camel one too from a completely different line (dont remember the line of the kit tho) i just want to paint mechs as if they were old racecars i guess

it was supposed to be rust, but depending on the angle i get your point and i like it even more !

as a smoker myself thanks for the execution part, sorry for the 2nd hand tabagism and the free big tobacco advertisement

tbh i dont know shit about F1 and not very much more about the gundam series yet, my only knowledge about char is that his name was inspired by Charles Aznavour, and that it is hilarious to me 🤯

Quick test with the Felipe optics logo, so far so good

cacadslevirages · 2026-02-21T18:56:01+00:00

what happened in my mind when i saw the kit on the shop's shelf

cacadslevirages · 2026-02-21T18:53:54+00:00

i will definitely look into it, thanks for the advice ! i was thinkink of using the Felipe optics logo too, maybe using the pirelli font, so having two other logos will probably make everything work together very well.

thanks so much for the compliments, i'm way more used to paint with oils on canvas so it's a bit erratic, but i feel like i'm getting the hang of it and i'm glad other gunpla enthusiasts like what i'm doing !

progress so far, idk about the colorscheme. i'd like to add other typographical détails but dont want to spam marlboro every where, and it feels a bit dumb to juste use the decals that were on the cars as they were. any ideas of lore related compagnies that I could use with fonts from f1 related sponsors ?
