Here's the set-up. First 4 spoons to see those 4 silver metallics, maybe another for the liquid silver if it doesn't rustle my jimmies while trying to make it work. Then of those the best looking one will be used for further experiments as a base.
Tamiya clear red, gold copper and smoke will be used to try preshading on metallics and also color modulation (I would need tamiya clear yellow for highlights but whatever), that should take 4 spoons out of 8. Then with metal medium and ink/washes I'll try to do a purple candy coat. I'll re use some of the first one or surplus ones to make a post shading with orange as I have vallejo yellow ink and some red I can glaze.
I can't think what more to do right now so that would be it unless I have some kind of revelation.
Mostly I want to try post shading with clear coats as I haven't seen it explained anywhere when they did use this technique (?) in some refs they didn't explain it but I've seen some minis and some gundams with candy coats with highlights and shadows and they didn't explain muh techniques or muh sekrits so fuck it, I'll try it myself.
>>6528552I usually get bored after awhile, especially after long sessions, so finding fresh stuff is quite nice. Never thought I would end listening to tuvan throat singing desu or priming 12 spoons so this hobby is quite entertaining I must say
>>6528563>91% or higher isopropanolSo like tamiya? It didn't work out for me back then with the same alcohol I use or the x20a. I always see alclad mentioned as the best metallics so might get a bottle some day.
>>6528591Can't say for sure but some revell 1/72 plane or a tamiya afv that I made when I started have ancient molding that I'm sure date from the 70s-80s
