Thanks for the encouragement guys. Now that I tried it hopefully I can do more extensive led integrations in the future.

Wolvie: nice attempt at using gold leaf. U got the gold leaf from Artfriend? Quite expensive rite?

Any ab gurus here to help me?

What's the difference between 0.5mm vs 0.8mm nozzle?
I tried using 0.8mm nozzle with the 0.8mm needle but the air starts to rush back into the paint cup while the 0.5mm pre installed out from the box doesn't does this. I've tighten all screws already..

Using K-381 airbrush from Keith.

Anyone know where to get enamel spray cans? Planning to do a reverse wash. Now left with getting enamel spray can.

The only enamel paint i can find is tamiya but this is only in bottle form.

Does RJ london carry enamel spray can as well? Other than chrome color.

Need black.

If i hand painted black will it leave alot of brush mark for enamel?

does anything spray out?? if not is backflowing, or means that when you pull back the needle and the nozzle does not seperate to allow air to flow out and suck the paint along, but flows back into the cup.....

Installation error or faulty nozzle or needle,

P.S dont have exp with 0.8 needles, but mechanism should be the same

your gold leafing is fugged up. Spray gold paint or use gundam marker also look 1000x better than that.

Those pieces are meant to be SMOOTH. Your gold leaf got so much flakeing going on. Redo or change method of painting gold rah!

This may be a stupid question but....
what kind of display stand you folks get for like displaying Wing zero with the angelic "overlapping leg" pose?

Seems that the action base display stand not suitable for doing this pose? Any tips and tricks to recommend?

Thanks.
