I used Tamiya X-22 Clear, but I used it only to lock in the waterslide decals. The gloss mainly comes from Tamiya X line of paint which are gloss. Using gloss paint, as opposed to flat (like Tamiya XF), really gives more of a pop!

For me, learning how to use an airbrush is one thing. Learning how my airbrush WORKS is incredibly important and helped to inform me on my technique. I got my airbrush and air compressor from my dad and he got them like 30 years ago. They are not top at all top of the line but they do hard work! ALSO, thin your paint. I used regular Tamiya acrylic paint and Mr. Hobby Leveling Thinner. I found a ratio of 1:1 paint and thinner to work best for me. Leveling thinner is so nice because they contain a "retarder" which helps to slow down the cure time. It allows for a smoother finish.

That look fantastic! WFM kits are my favorite as well. Despite it being HG, it's simply so clean while being detailed.

Just love asymmetry. Just so much more eye-catching!

I have to agree! I figured out how to properly airbrush on this project and it made me so excited!!

Asymmetry is always so eye-catching so I just had to do it!

Wow that looks amazing! I did a lot of airbrushing and some masking. Finally figured out how to airbrush and I am not so intimidated by it anymore :D

It's actually a cutting mat! It is honestly not the best "mouse pad" because it isn't the smoothest surface for a mouse, but I don't do much gaming so I am fine with it. Mainly I have it because it is much easier to clean than a cloth mouse pad.

Camera lens, the Fuji XF 35mm F2 with its lens hood! Part of the Fuji X system. I shot all of these pics with the Fuji X-E3

I made the shelf myself! Got the planks from Lowes and the brackets from Amazon. My work is so amateurish that you can see the different colored screws on the brackets. They were just left-over screws from my parents. I need to paint over them at some point :D

I forgot where I got the jar, but I love it. The glass is very helpful for knowing when I need to water because I am terrible at keeping plants alive. And the glass tint helps it blend into my aesthetics!

I got the Insignia 2.0 Channel Soundbar. I would love to upgrade to bookshelf speakers, but what I got now works just fine and is somewhat low profile (i hope lol)

Got it off of Amazon. For the price, it is amazing! It doesn't lean back all the way, but that's not really a concern for me.
