>>10087352Inexperience. I just picked up this hobby and still don't understand the painting instructions or how it's supposed to be done. I'll either have to manually translate or use an OCR reader to chew through all of this kana because Kotobukiya specifically omits painting information from the English manuals.
https://en.kotobukiya.co.jp/instruction/instruction-60644/Every color lists multiple paints and I'm not sure if that's the order that you're supposed to put on each coat or alternate paints or to mix--I'm sure there are guides I just haven't run into them yet.
I'd like my models to look as good as their official photos and I assume that may be possible by using the paints listed in the manual.
Once that's figured out, I'd like to make customs that can be used to photograph ecchi scenes, though it'll probably be a few months before that...There's still a lot to learn.
