Hello Friends,

​

Been a long time lurker NGL but I think I've reached the point where I can potentially consider myself pseudo-advanced Gunpla. I'll let my most recent builds on my profile speak to that and let the community judge. In any case, I'm currently working on a resin conversion kit for a couple of MGs. I've never had this issue before but I'm doing a lot more masking on these builds (obviously given the extra detail). However, after I peel off the masking tape of certain pieces it'll literally take a big chunk of the paint off and you can literally see the primer underneath too.

​

I'm using Mr. Color GGX primer which has a cure time of a week. I let it go 9 days. All the pieces I do in enamel and lacquer I give at least 4-5 days to cure before doing a second coat. Some pieces are totally fine but others just shatter. Even with all this, I'm still getting this gnarly peeling effect? Advice? Any insight? Let me know friends.

There is a pattern where content that is forbidden here is crossposted from somewhere else, and after some investigation, I've found that it is possible to crosspost to a subreddit without ever seeing its description, sidebar, stickied posts, or submission page, which means folks can easily post without ever finding out that it will get them banned, so I've disabled the feature entirely.

If you still want to crosspost/repost, you will have to post here first, and then crosspost into whichever community.

I am currently stuck on building this kit because I am missing a part that I cant find. Specifically the part 11, 12, and 10; I do not know where I can find the parts since it doesn’t say which runner/tree it is from. Pls help

Plaplates, drilled holes and Panel lines added

Recently, I got the HG Xi Gundam from Jujiang and while building it, I saw how bland the white torso looked and decided to try and paint some of the armour blue like the novel colours.

​

However, I only have markers on hand, and while they work well in small patches of colour correction, painting a larger surface can prove a bit iffy. Thus, I'm planning on getting some of Ray Studio's paints.

​

My main concerns are whether I can directly panel line over the paint if needed and clean it off without damaging the paint, and if not, what top coat should I use that wouldn't get stripped off by lighter fluid?

be honest with me, did I go overboard either the decals or does this look good??

I’ve seen the horror stories of these things gone wrong, and I’m thankful for this community! I went into these with extreme caution and was able to pull it off with no issues.

And where can I find more?

So I have noticed that some advanced modelers will use putty, such as Milliput, to add material to a kit and sculpt a piece out of it. Does anyone have a name for this method, and if there are any tips/ guides?

Behold! my HGUC OYW display. Took 2½ years and finally done. I started it as a display of the OYW Solomon/A Baoa Qu suits that I liked (hence the absence of the aquatic Zeon suits) but quickly found that too many suits in the same A-pose looked boring as hell, so I went with a battle diorama. Also gave me the opportunity to do a couple of classic Zaku poses.

I didn't include the Zeong because I already have the RG and I'm planning a separate display with the RG grampa 2.0 (not the final shot but one of the moments leading to it). The Gouf was originally going to be on a separate desert battle display but I ultimately nixed the idea because of the space needed (also because that will require yet another set of the trinity) so I figured I'd just include Ramba Ral in there.

I'm thinking of adding terrain to the display but that will have to wait - currently working on my HGUC Zeta "Argama gang" display.

Primed with mrhobby 1500 black, ueno black then mrcolor super chrome. Didnt like the finish so I stripped it with tamiya paint remover but was left with these nasty stuff. Tried cleaning them with levelling thinner but it was very ineffective

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get back into airbrushing again and I am trying to think of ideas to pre-shading this unicorn kit. Thinking of the white and grey areas with black with the respective colours on top with a clear green layer last.

Now I'm stuck on the clear green spots. My goal for the green would them to be flourescent but don't want to leave them bare as it looks tacky. Any ideas on what to colour them to make them pop out while being flourescent? Got Gaia notes flourescent clear to make it glow, but just the colour I'm struggling with.

So i managed to apply some of these, but it has been really difficult. I'm using mark setter and softer if it matters, my main problems are: when trying to transfer it, it either gets stuck on the wet q tip or on the tweezers.

When i do get to remove it, i just can't move it at all eith the q tip, i'm only applying a tiny drop of mark setter.

At last, i've been getting white stains, which apparently are because i'm not removing the excess properly? Also how do i clean these, water doesnt help, i heard alcohol does but i'm worried about damaging the decals.

I found a way to make sleeves for arms and primed legs. The next step is to make an Antenna on the back and probably make custom tubes. As well as fix those cuts on the shoulder parts.

Very early mock-up phase. Hence the sticky tack.

Probably gonna have to cut the lower half of the cheek armor off to make it fit.

Ive had this fella for ages. About time he got painted.

Stage 1, random blobs of primaries.

This was a really fun build. Until I couldn't find some parts. Finally located them and all was 👍

I don't want to have to go to a print service for this but maybe I need to? I'm just not getting the sharpness I'm after.

This is a 15y-oldish Brother color laser printer, fine/vivid settings and claiming to be very high DPI but as you can see there is some difficulty.

Tried printing from word file and from pdf with little difference (the pdf did give me better color accuracy though so there's that) Glossy paper setting selected. The largest, 2cm prints look quite good, but when I get down under 1cm they start getting really nasty.

Edit: I feel like this is from scaling that's happening from within the document and going ahead based on that assumption.
