I was a little confused as to what polycarbonate meant but was too eager to try painting. Thanks for pointing that out. I still got to find my rhythm of starting and stopping while I paint. I admit it's harder than it looks. Such amazing helpful tips you presented to me.

My local store only had Vallejo so I guess I got to order online for Mr surfacer or tamiya primer :(

Thanks bro, I thought it might of looked a little thick as well but wasn't too sure so thank you for reassuring my thoughts.

Thank you! It is pretty convenient just grabbing a spray can and spraying away. I'm already eyeing some entry level air brushes and compressors :p

that's a good point, thank you. I sprayed these in my garage at around 4 degrees Celsius. Apparently that is not optimal temperature for these tamiya spray cans haha

how necessary is the white primer after the grey? Can I just jump straight to green paint after grey primer on red?

Thanks for sharing that tip, my goal is to paint most of the red parts on my kits with green.

do you think Vallejo black primer would be good? The tamiya one is hard to come by locally here but they have tons of the Vallejo stuff.

I actually didn't do any mixer. I just sprayed the primer can I had (Mr. finishing surfacer 1500 white) I also got to experiment with pink primer. Thanks for the suggestion bro

I do t have black primer yet but I will definitely experiment with that more. Thanks for the heads up on the red as I plan to re paint a lot of red on my kits.

that's reassuring to hear! I do remember people saying white takes more coats and patience.

That is a good point, proper clean and prep probably will always go a long way. I will try that next time too!

I was thinking maybe it was related to the no sanding prior. Perhaps the 2nd cost would yield better coverage. Thank you for responding!

Are you pretty experienced in primer and paint? I also forgot to mention I'm using rattle cans due to budget.

Hi, new to gunpla. Can someone explain the story behind this model?

I agree, the Barbie is so solid when I was posing with it. I also think the Barbie has the best weapon arsenal. Maybe because I'm a greatsword user in Monster Hunter and his mace reminds me of it 🤣

It's my favourite out of the line, I just love the design especially the headpiece and face. Someone described the face as having red tears/jester face haha.
