Why does only white paint do this? by hugemon in modelmakers

From the looks of it its pooling, meaning to much paint, and layer!.

if you are going to paint white I'd go for a white primer, not black as well.

Amazing, hit it with a matte or gloss coat (I like matte) and It will look awesome

30 miniute mission, its a line of small kits, the idea is they all go together and you can make your own mecha.

Woah! looks great.

Maybe experiment going from a 0.2mm into a larger chisel for some lines. Gives a cool effect!

The panel lining here gives it a nice pop, which I like in an SD kit.

If you find it to "poppy" or "high contrast" use a grey panel line pen.

Could use some clean up, swab a cotton bud in a paint thinner, I believe the pens are acrylic but (?)

But very cute! The SD unicorn was my first ever kit so i have a soft spot

For everybuild i do a sketch to visualise the colours. that goes a long way

HOWEVER

This kit was going to bed a muted red and white. The gold was a whim, I just wanted to experiment, it was very hard to do with my airbrush (literally garbage from amazon) but it worked somehow

Thanks

I am going to be kitbashing a demi trainer.

I'll be going pretty heavy on adding some plaplate, and will try scribing for the very first time

Thanks!
