Yeah, I was a bit bummed tbh. But after some time I actually like it. Makes it a bit more unique imo
This was back last year. I took a EG RX-78-2 and used hobby mio lacquer paints through my new iwata airbrush. Overall pretty happy. Used knight gold and mecha “black” plus red on the eyes. Only complaint was the black was purple. Idk who at hobby mio decided THIS was “mecha black”
Same. Also just the facts that wrap-around stickers NEVER work. I just masked off the spike and antenna and sprayed white on. More work to break out the airbrush but I HATE stickers that much lol
lol, truth. For me it’s way more a skill thing. My hands get shaky and I can’t place them well. Exception being any stickers that wrap around. Those just don’t work and don’t know why Bandai still uses them
I just finished building this guy the other day. For an older kit it wasn’t that bad. Added some detail painting to make him pop(or cause I refuse to use stickers)
Yeah, I definitely learned from this one. That’s basically my process now. Test spray on spoons then model. I really like the hobby mio gloss black. Looks nice and is actually black
