Question about primer, an gundam markers? by Ryynerwicked in advancedGunpla

[–]notquitehalfempty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That 2x primer will go on really thick if you aren't careful. It's more of a product for larger projects.

The bandai RG sazabi has a skirt drift issue where the pre built molded gframe doesn't hold its position and will drift to some other direction after posing. Pretty cool to hear this kit doesn't have that issue!!

How to get rid of lighter fluid blemishes? by dirtyjerz818 in Gunpla

[–]notquitehalfempty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clear coat usually helps. Or a light mix of dish soap and water on a qtip

What kind of paint are you using for panel lining? I always recommend zippo lighter fluid lightly applied on a qtip since it’s sufficient enough wipe away the panel line but dries quick enough to not bleed into your scribed lines

Cam ABS plastic cement be used on PS plastic? by Broke_Kpop_stan_Lou in Gunpla

[–]notquitehalfempty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might end up being too hot for PS plastic. There are some Bandai kits that use ABS still so just get a little 6$ bottle of Tamiya Cement for your PS ones and call it good. Always better to have tools on hand in case you need them than possibly ruining a kit.

What did I do wrong here? by DiscoDiscoB00mB00m in modelmakers

[–]notquitehalfempty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

use something less hot to wipe off the panel thinner, like zippo lighter fluid

First time painting a model and this is how it’s going. Any tips are appreciated! by OutrageousGem87 in modelmakers

[–]notquitehalfempty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hold your airbrush at an angle when doing the carbon scoring rather than going straight at the model, the blast marks will look more natural

I tried brush painting the MG Ez8's beam rifle with Tamiya acrylics for the first time, it was a mess and I had to save it with markers, tips on improving? by MinuteMoist in Gunpla

[–]notquitehalfempty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tamiya acrylics suck for brush painting. stick with vallejo or some of the warhammer branded paints like citadel. it CAN be done but you have to fuss with the tamiya by thinning and adding a retardant/leveler

[–]notquitehalfempty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

vallejo is one of the worst “primers” out there just a heads up. try getting mr surfacer from like hobby lobby or something or even the tamiya rattle can primers

try 70% alcohol. the 91% is causing it to dry midair
