HGUC Sazabi Tutorial - Session 6

In this video, I show how you can use any spray paint (or primer) with a brush, as well as showing what I've gotten done on the model so far. Sorry I don't have more done, but I've been a little slow in building this kit... :-\
Enjoy! ^_^

can i use acrylic paint on the whole thing because my dad wont let me use spray paint?

@TheMegathehedgehog

It's a lot harder to do, but it's possible.

However, there are a few problems with this.

First of all, the paint is not very durable, so it will scrape off very easily. That's why I try to use it only on small, out-of-the-way pieces.

But also, doing it by hand will leave noticable brush marks, which won't look very good.

So to answer your question, yes it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have no choice.

Hope that helps.

And thanks for watching!

Do you find Krylon spray paints pretty decent for gundam model kits overall? And have you tried the Krylon fusion paints? Looking to try em out since they dont seem to be too expensive, but not 100% sure yet. And do you coat it after painting?

@Magiustor

Krylon's definitely good enough for me in most cases.

I've tried Krylon Fusion paints, and they're OK. The one can I got, though, doesn't spray properly, so I didn't get to use very much. It's only real "benefit" is that you supposedly don't need primer. Still I recommend adding primer to any part you're going to paint for the best results.

Top coating is always a good idea. Just be careful with how much you add; it's easy to go overboard.

Thanks for watching!

@crapmunky99

Do you use the Krylon top coats or different ones? Trying to decide since they have em on sale this week lol!

[crapmunky99]

@Magiustor

Never used any topcoats other than Krylon, but Krylon isn't the best.

It can be a little unpredictable, and tricky to use. I don't know for sure that other brands are any better, but Testors and Tamiya always make great paints, and I'd be willing to bet their top coat would be much better than Krylon's.

Still, Krylon is cheaper and you get a lot more, so it couldn't hurt to try it out for yourself and see how you like it.

Actually, I have a partnership offer on the table, but I'm undecided as to if I should go through with it.

If I do, I'll get to make longer videos, and I'll get paid for some of them, which would be nice.

However, I'll also lose any ability to add music or other media in my videos, which I often like to use.

So for now, I'm putting it off. But maybe I'll consider it someday.

Also, I actually do have the HGUC Nu Gundam already; it's great!

Thanks for watching!

[00gundamreviews]

UC Nu gundam to go with it! good job man.

@celesthine

Primer is intended to help paint stick better and apply more smoothly to a surface.

Plus, primer comes in different shades and colors other than white.

If you watch the first of my Sazabi tutorial videos, I explain this in more detail.

Thanks for watching!
