Hey, I just painted my first gundam SD, it turned out pretty good, but I was looking for a pointer. I am using arcylic paint and I needed to use like 6 coats of white to get a good cover over the grey plastic. The grey still kinda shows through at spots. I am not sure if I just didn't mix the paint well enough or if white is always so thin? Any advice?
@deezipp3011 what brand of acrylic do you use? It's possible that the paint is not sticking. Make sure to slightly sand the area first, apply the paint, let it dry, then apply the next coat. Also is it possible for you to send url photo of the piece through private message, so I can get a better picture of the problem?
Looks like you guys had a pretty good time. Its great that he liked your gift and you guys made a new friend. It truly is a shame only 3 people entered tatsu's contest and its the same 3 who did fanime...There has to be more NorCal people out there who build gunpla.
lol Justin Bieber :D
