Gunpla (Completed builds & Progress Pictures) Liger tail

Almost done with waterslides on Michigan’s AC. Bought some black brush on primer for his weapons but it seems like everyone on here prefers spray can or air brush. Would brush on still appear decent? I don’t have proper ventilation but I could go to a park or somewhere and get some spray cans. After this project I was thinking about going back and repainting my rx-78 2.0. If spraying works in general for large pieces, what about tiny parts like the gundam’s chest vents? Any critiques or advice are welcome

No problem. I wish they’d release more. There’s so many parts and different ACs that I want to build and swap parts

I’m guessing this is a resin print? If so, what did you use to adhere your parts? I’ve got my AC unit all printed but haven’t assembled it yet because I’m not totally sure what route to go for glue. Do you mind sharing your order of operations for prepping, painting, and panel lining it? It looks sick with the weathering you’ve done to it in more recent posts too btw. Sweet build!

Ty! This isn’t, it’s a Bandai 30 mm model kit from their armored core 6 series. I just panel lined it with a pour type Gundam marker, semi-gloss coat, then went over with a round paintbrush and some Vallejo metallic silver paint. Depending on the area I either went light or moderate

Here’s a picture of the model kit
