@woona Give me a mo. I've got a digibash somewhere.
Tuesday, 10-Jul-12 21:33:30 UTC from web-
Anyone here have experience with model painting, (preferably toy customising), specifically with spraypaints?
-
@thelastgherkin Just enough to realize that I have a very unsteady hand, and no spray experience beyond primer. Sorry.
-
@thelastgherkin I bet, woona could help you there. Warhammer players usually have uch experience with that stuff.
-
@hakupony @thelastgherkin Actually, Leonkfox seems really into that stuff, ask him
-
@purplephish20 @hakupony Warhammer's usually brushpaint from the Games Workshop. I'm considering buying an aerosol from Halfords.
-
@thelastgherkin Yeah, don't use off the shelf paints like rustoleum or krylon, they're too think ti use properly and will drown out the details.
-
@woona messy woona is best woona :P
-
@colfax Krylon's not available here, but that's a good tip about Rustoleum!
-
@woona Oh neat! Where do you get your paints? And are they aerosols, or do you have a sprayer thingo?
-
@thelastgherkin not with spray paints, but I've done a couple customs http://ur1.ca/9rc4j
-
@thelastgherkin I know from experience, when it comes to models you need to use a spray paint meant for models, otherwise you just wind up with a huge ugly mess.
-
@lyrica And sculpt work too I see! This isn't for ponies though. This is for Transformers. Lots of little indents and greebles.
-
@thelastgherkin ah Transformers, I've tried my hand at those, didn't go as well as I wish, still need to finish the one...
-
@lyrica basically I was making one of the Energon Basic jets into a Zeta Gundam, need to find where he went
-
@colfax I wasn't sure. Earlier I found this though, which is pretty much recommending it: http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19986
-
@thelastgherkin what about Gundam Custom Paint Jobs? you can make out my custom paint job OO Gundam in the BG http://ur1.ca/9rc5s
-
@thelastgherkin If I'm reading it right, that recommends car paint, which you can thin down before spraying. You may want to just invest in an airbrush and save yourself some headaches.

@woona !gundam 00 Gundam ver Lyrica http://ur1.ca/9rc67
-
@woona On the left: what I have. On the right: what I'd like. http://sta.sh/01zv4io25vcc
-
@woona 00 Quan[t] Lyrica Custom http://ur1.ca/9rc6b
-
@lyrica Rad. I've painted a Thundercracker, Skywarp, Skids, and Emirate Xaaron before now. I've done them all with brushwork and they all suck. I'd like to try one with spraypaint and hopefully it won't suck?
-
-
@thelastgherkin my experience with sprays never turned out good, with brushing you want multiple but thin layers of paint http://ur1.ca/9rc6i
-
@thelastgherkin ignore the paint chipping, I lack anything to clear coat, and I like to play with my gundam Models :D
-
@lyrica That I like. I always have problems with paint thickness. I tend to do two coats and they're horribly thick, so whenever I try to play with them they get really chipped.
-
@thelastgherkin let me see if I can find Strike Freedom Lyrica Custom (my first GOOD custom Paint job)
-
@woona Well y'see, the blue bits and the chest are easy to do as they can be completely disassembled and covered with paint completely. No worries there. The orange bits on the shoulders are probably going to have to be brushwork.
-
@thelastgherkin one of these days I need to repaint it. @carcino you don't want to see my Exia, it was from before I learned to use Primer and parts of it don't stay up anymore, namely the sword, I need to get another one to do in the Blue Black Gold and White colors as my 00's http://ur1.ca/9rc7q
-
@woona Bodacious! Now all I need is dry weather so I can go outside and get good ventilation.
-
@thelastgherkin For the paint. I don't live in an asthma-inducing house.
-
@lyrica You still paint twice as well as me. I've got a terribly unsteady hand.
-
@thelastgherkin as do I
-
-
@carcino SO TERRIBLE I need to find a way to strip the paint and redo it or get a new one http://ur1.ca/9rc80
-
@woona I wish the garage wasn't incredibly cramped and cluttered. I'd love to have a go in there. But anyway, you've been a super help!
-
@lyrica EOULIA SHENBERG IS NOT PLEASED. YOU SHALL NEVER BECOME A [s]NEWTYPE[/s] INNOVATOR.
-
@lyrica I hated SEED. Like the suits. Hated SEED. Destiny was... alittle better. Until Kira came back to reclaim his protagonist role.
-
-
@carcino I mostly agree with you. 00 and Zeta are my favorite series (still need to see Victory, X, and Unicorn)
-
Bit Shift likes this. -
@carcino Well... it COULD be if that's what your clock/sun/shadows say. -I- could say good morning, but that doesn't mean the sea taste like marshmellows.
-
@imjustme Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh http://ur1.ca/9rcaj

@dariusponyperson Really? My anscestral lands are pooground? ToT That's so disappointing!
