hi all nong time no post

bought new kits at TW

Tamiya Toyota Celica (about 550 TWD, quite cheap IMO for a car kit)
RG Freedom (about 950 TWD, reasonable price)

 

[tarui04]

got this effect on the "crown" shaped parts after spraying with grey (mr hobby) primer and grey tamiya paint.

does it look as if there's a thick coat of primer and no paint on it?
i am comtemplating spraying black instead

hi guys i got a question

for topcoat, do you guys spray the whole completed model, or do you guys spray the parts separately?

e.g. for unicorn gundam/banshee the inner frame has clear parts, so i suppose matte topcoat would ruin the glossy look of the clear right?

 

[osirisx]

depends...u can mask it
otherwise separately

for the above 2 mg, transform to unicorn mode then spray

 

[aucheukyan]

matte coat before assembling also can............

 

[HeeroYuy]

Depends on you, for me i do parts by parts as i like my kits have mixture of both matt n gloss.
You can spray the whole kit too, but must mask the clear parts.

 

[Shinizan]

For Unicorn, i'm doing it by individual pieces or assembly parts of them without the clear parts if possible. Cause even in unicorn mode i find there are still some seamline gaps and i just wanted to be safe.
If not, its normally by parts, (eg. arms, legs, etc)

I have the avatar AMP, the hands are definitely a lot bigger than 1/100 scale mobile suits.

I don't own any 1/60 kits so can't really help you on the size compatibility question but you can find 1/60 G-system articulated manipulators on ebay.

 

[Hinata76]

Erm...is 1/60 hands $25 ex?
