I don't use it personally, but it is good for newbies who might fuck up their panel lining and need to clean up, or people who use panel washes and are paranoid about the plastic cracking. If you have a good clean technique, you really don't NEED the glosscoat step.

Im struggling to build the leo. Every piece has to be painted. I really didnt think about that when committing to it.

Just buy more alligator clips. Since you have the Leo, that must mean that you bought it at Hobby Lobby, which means you can get their alligator clips as well.

There is only one type: pic related.

Mr Finishing Surfacer is not a primer, it has the same adhesion as a regular lacquer paint and it has some filler in it that can fill very small imperfections. If you don't need to fill small imperfections there is no advantage of using it over flat black paint.

Since you should be clamping onto the pegs or other parts of the piece that will never see the light of day, it shouldn't matter. But if you're autistic about protecting the plastic despite this, just do what I did and buy an $11 can of Plasti-Dip from Home Depot or Walmart. Use a thin screwdriver or other metal rod to hold the clamps open and dip them in, then follow the instructions for a second coat should you want one.

One can is more than enough to coat however many alligator clips you could want, since it's meant for coating things like wrench handles.

What does this mean? The Leo is basically perfectly color-separated out of the box, it doesn't NEED paint at all. Every single kit ever made can take forever if you insist on painting every single inch of it. Drop your weird high standards and just build the thing.

yes you do, 20 at a time sounds incredibly limiting. I have 2 styrofoam boards and probably 100ish alligator clips. I don't use them all at once, but for a typical HG I can easily clip every piece of a color in one go. It's not hard to paint a HG in a week if you work on it every night.

Still just a surfacer but with larger particles of filler. That one may fill your panel lines if you are not careful.

"Small plastic imperfections" do not appear out of nowhere. Did you weld any seams? Did you scratch build anything? If not, a typical plastic kit would not have any imperfections out of the box and using a surfacer on it will do more harm than good.

No idea, but that stuff will melt the plastic piece it's clamped to anyways if you're talking about hardware store lacquer thinner and you spray it straight onto the piece. If you mean thinner that's mixed with paint, then no, I've sprayed Testors enamel mixed with hardware store lacquer thinner straight onto Gunpla runners and it didn't melt.

In a way. Do you have to paint it piece by piece? Not really. Build the arms, legs, chest, head and paint those "pieces". Destroy the inner male/female connections so parts can be flush, do your seam removal and then airbrush it in chunks. It can absolutely be done in a week.

You guys got any cheap gunpla hacks? I'll share what I've picked up.

1) Melamine sponge (magic eraser) works just as well as gunprimer balancer

2) Nail clippers + razor blade/x-acto can work in an emergency if you've lost your snips, as long as you snip far away from the part

3) Glass nail buffers work well for sanding down nubs without scratching the surrounding plastic too much

Also, just snapped together the FM Aerial. Neat kit, but thinking about painting the red/yellow/blue bits a bit darker and getting some water slides.

I used to do exactly #2 when I was a 10 year old kid building NG 1/144 kits. Purpose-built nippers are obviously better, but if all you're doing is separating the piece from the runner it doesn't need to be perfect, and you can finish off the nub with a cleaner method anyhow.

My hacks (or ones that I've heard/tried from others):

1. Guitar picks of various thicknesses are handy for prying apart assembled pieces.

2. Cutting off a bit of the peg on a piece (or snipping the wall of the hole that the peg goes into) can make disassembly easier by reducing friction between pieces.

3. As above, if you're paranoid about the teeth on alligator clips scratching your plastic pieces, an $11 can of Plasti-Dip (or other local equivalent) can be used to coat the tips. The coated teeth will want to stick together since they constantly have pressure applied on them by the spring, but you can stick a small piece of tissue or paper towel between them.

4. Obvious one, but lighter fluid and mineral spirits are handy enamel thinners that you can get in bulk for much cheaper than brand name stuff, they're gentler but you still want to be careful getting it on bare plastic.

5. If you need a really cheap gloss coat, Quick Shine multi-surface floor wax can be airbrushed onto kits (the discontinued brand was Pledge Future Floor Finish), you can thin it with alcohol as well.

6. Testors is usually crap for painting Gunpla, but if you thin it 1:1 with hardware store lacquer thinner it actually comes out of the airbrush pretty nice, and looks decent on the end product.

7. Instead of buying small bottles of purpose-advertised airbrush lubricant, a bottle of Astroglide (or knockoff Walmart equivalent) is effectively the same thing, they're both water-based lubricants. Same for vegetable glycerin.

8. Instead of buying a purpose-designed paint jar shelf, get a cheap plastic nail polish rack (or four).

In fairness, a small tube (not even a bottle) of airbrush lube lasts me a year or so and I don't need to worry about any dick moisturizing ingredients getting into my paint.
If you need more lube than that you're doing something wrong.

Is this really something people do? Seems to me like it would help keep them in the right position, like keys when moldmaking. COULD I freehand glue them with no peg alignment? Sure, but why? Seems needlessly difficult, and Bandai's tolerances are good enough that I never have a problem getting things flush.

Tamiyas were my first nippers, and they're fine for what they are. They served me well until I stepped up to single bladed nippers, and I still keep them in the rotation to cut hard or clear plastics or particularly thick gates (do NOT do those with a single bladed nipper, it will break). It pays to keep a "junk" nipper around for these kinds of tasks, and the Tamiya happens to be a pretty solid performer for a dual blade.

FWIW I didn't buy the cheapest Tamiyas, so...think about that I guess. I am actually not sure if there is a significant difference between cheap and pricey double blades.

I have the Full Armor Gundam, Psycho Zaku, and previously had the Zaku II (with BIG gun!). Engineering, articulation, etc., they hold up pretty decent. The main suits are perfectly acceptable, but maybe not up to your standard HG these days. The Psycho Zaku has some loose bits along the backpack, specifically the hand grenade launcher things don't sit well. The arms articulation is a bit limited as well, but you can get what you need. The worst part about both these kits are the stickers. There's a lot of small dark red spots on the Thunderbolt, and the entire orange coverage on the shield is a sticker (iirc, I don't have it out right now). The Psycho Zaku has a lot of smaller orange stickers around the side skirt as well.
They're great if you don't have the space/money for the MGs, but if you want something that looks really nice out of the box, they might be a bit sticker-heavy for you.

This is also great for getting panel liner of varying colors. Whatever color enamel paint you like, thin it to absolute hell, and boom, panel liner that's ez to clean with lighter fluid. As a recent example, make a blue panel liner for Permet Score 6 Aerial.

It's a combination of the convenience, construction and extra add-ons. You could build your own spray booth with aquarium filter, a small fan, some plastic boards and a hose, but you would also need to have the tools in your house to do all that, on top of actually having the DIY know-how to build it. And even then, yours won't have LED strings, won't be as easy to collapse and move, and almost certainly won't last for a very long time (which, granted, isn't a huge concern since the materials you use will be extremely cheap and easy to replace).

I went through the motions of researching how to build my own spray booth using plastic boards and a triplet of super quiet case fans from Newegg, but then I realized that if I wanted to make something that looked anywhere near as nice as the booths you can find on Amazon (up to and including an LED string, the wiring for it, and a housing for the filter to protect the fans that can be easily removed to replace the filter), it probably would have taken me dozens of hours and I probably would have ended up rebuilding several parts of it as I made mistakes. Not worth the time and effort when I have gainful employment and could simply spend a small fraction of my paycheck to buy a decent one on Amazon.

Honestly, for that you could probably just do that in a garage with a mask, just don't linger when you're done and open up your garage door for air circulation when you're done. Spray booths are for when you're brushing individual pieces one at a time and need to be precise with your details.

It has nothing to do with the type of fume. Spray cans are pressurized to 60+ PSI and spray a ton of solvent. Most of your spraying will be done at 8-12 PSI and releasing very little solvent. The safety of your spray booth depends on whether or not it can evacuate enough flammable material before the ignition concentration is reached. It's typically not a problem with little hobby airbrushes, but it is with a spray can which can spray on par with much larger spray guns

yes, but you use an airbrush continuously over a large surface for an extended period while a spray can will take 2-3 quick passes. the total volume of fumes expelled is the same, if not less.

Those 2-3 quick passes can easily overwhelm the fan. If you're spraying 10 cubic units of solvent per second and your fan can evacuate 12 per second, you can spray forever, in theory. But a spray can that sprays 100 cubic units of solvent per second can pose a danger even if you spray it for 3 seconds

The most important component of an airbrush booth is air flow. It won't do you any good to just stop the paint from getting on the floor, the fumes will linger in the room until moving air carries it outside.

I assume that you know that you need an air compressor in order for an airbrush to work properly. That's another component that can cost you a fair amount of money. As for the airbrush itself, I would be careful about how you use it, if it's a no-name brand and Chinese there's no telling if it can actually withstand the stuff you put into it, like hardware store lacquer thinner at the very least. Along with the respirator and spray booth, the airbrush is one of the few components of a painting setup that you absolutely do not want to be skimping money on. For trying out airbrushing for the first time to see if you'll like it, it's maybe okay, but for serious airbrushing you want at least some guarantee that it's not going to break after doing a handful of kits.

If you're strapped for cash, you can just make a crappy one out of a cheap box fan, duct filter pad, a bunch of cardboard, duct tape and a wide venting hose. As long as you have a filter to catch paint (to prevent it from hitting the fan), something to move air and a hose to direct that air out of a window, you've ticked all of the important checkboxes for a spray booth.

FTFY

Shitty booth fan will struggle with extracting spray can output simply because the can outputs a lot of volume quickly, but if you leave the booth running for a few hours after your paint session it will eventually extract everything. And no, it will not explode at any point.
Of course, if you happen to live where you spray it is not a practical solution, which is why you don't buy cheap booths with shitty fans.

If that is PVC, Vinyl and Fabric Dye will work, I use it for action figures.You can find Duplicolor and VHT at most auto shops. The colors are limited, and if you don't know it's PVC for sure, I'd clip off some runner and spray that first to check you don't get a plasticizer reaction to the solvent.

If you leave it a day, and it's not sticky to the touch, you're good to go.

If you do need a flexible paint, cosplayers use Angelus leather, but I've had okay luck from priming with the spray vinyl dye and using acrylics over it.

Primer is to allow the paint coat to more easily bond to the surface, increasing its durability. If you aren't painting, you don't need primer.

If you're just panel lining without painting, there's two approaches. If you're just using Gundam Marker, you can draw right on top of the plastic. If you're using panel wash, you don't want to put that on bare plastic since it could crack it, and a gloss coat on top of the plastic will protect it.

Putting a top coat over bare plastic helps to remove the plastic toy look of the kit, which makes it look significantly better. But you also have to be careful about the particular top coats, since if sprayed on top of panel liner can cause it to run (made worse by the fact that you've now sealed your mistake under a coat of varnish and have no way to fix it without stripping the entire piece and starting all over).

Your best bet is probably to gloss coat the kit, and panel line after. Gundam Marker can be removed with water on tissue immediately after application (or even just spit and your finger), if you let it dry you might have to dip the tissue in alcohol instead. I'm not sure if any top coats will dissolve with alcohol once dried, so you might want to do a bit of research on that, but a cotton swab dipped in lighter fluid should be safe.

Gloss isnt necessary. Its mainly to protect a layer of paint than the plastic. For straight plastic you dont need to use gloss. With those gundam markers theyre just an ink. There is a pour type marker and that is a little different and works like tamiya does. Most people use a matte topcoat since it cuts alot of the plastic look and shine. Not that necessary either. Just depends on what you want the end results to look.

This is somewhat true. It can cause a crack in a thin area of a part but its not likely. It is a problem when used on assembled parts if it runs into the seams and doesnt dry in a timely manner. If you completely cover a part with it, it can warp the part or cause it to crack. I have damaged a few parts with it, but its not like it will melt like alien acid blood.

If airbrushing i would go with any lacquer paint really. Mr Color or gaianotes are the two most recommended for a reason.
If you're paint brushing id go with a water based acrylic like one of the vallejo lines.

That's their acrylic line.
Plain old "Mr. Color" paints like pic related are their lacquer line. Their lacquer line is definitely better but if you don't want to use lacquers their aqueous line isn't bad.
Airbrush is definitely better than rattlecans. You waste a lot less paint, have better control and can get a nicer finish as well.

My rule of thumb (which I'm sure some people will disagree with) is to assume that half of the spraycan's stated volume is useful paint. If it says 100ml on the can, I expect to get 50ml of paint and the other 50ml is the propellant.
After decanting and waiting for an hour or so for the propellant to boil off, I will most likely find that I have about 40ml of liquid left because some of the thinner evaporated during that time. So I will add 10ml or so of levelling thinner to get back to 50ml and that would correspond roughly to 1:1 thinning ratio if I were to use the paint from a jar.

It might melt it a little if you spray a very wet coat, which is sometimes what you want (melting the acrylic coat may re-level it a bit and will definitely make it stronger since it will mix with the lacquer on top).

>and water decal
Nope, lacquer does nothing to decals or stickers.

Is there a recommended way to airbrush Tamiya enamels? I coated some pieces in enamel primer and need to paint them glossy blue, and I've heard that lacquer paint on top of enamel primer is no bueno.

It's pretty decent, but the smaller color parts are stickers. It includes some waterslides for her alt faceplates, only one face comes pre-printed.

If you're a snapshitter, I say get the SHF. If you're willing to due some paint work, go for the figure-rise.

If it's in a hard-to-reach place, try using a pointy-ended but soft object like a toothpick, or an old toothbrush or cheap paint brush.

So I just learned about fluorescent paints semi-recently. I heard there was a trick where if you wire a UV LED behind a clear part that you paint with clear fluorescent paint and then seal with clear photosensitive resin (the kind they use for resin 3D printers), you can get a cool 3D lighting effect. I kind of want to do this with my Unicorn that I haven't built yet, is there any documentation for how to pull this off and what it looks like?

I think they're implying that this "photosensitive" resin would also fluoresce, thereby creating a double layer of glow on either side of the plastic. I don't know if this would work. I'd say you'd definitely need it to be larger scale to be visible though, like the Mega Size Unicorn or something.

That's not really pooling. By pooling I mean that it collects inside of completed assemblies and just sits, never getting cleaned. I generally let my lines dry for 30 minutes to an hour before cleaning and I've had one piece break in the last like, eight years.

Also unless you mean at your local store, there's a fair few colors of Panel Line Accent. Mr Hobby also makes a similar line of products.

There's a trick for puncturing the tops of these cans in a way that doesn't get everything everywhere, once the pressurization is taken care of you can just pour the contents out of the can into a jar, and either pour that jar directly into an airbrush or even use a regular paintbrush.

Gloss coat before application to protect the plastic, then top coat in your finishing of choice afterward. This allows you to turn any enamel (including the shitty small cans of Humbrol you've had sitting in that shoebox for years) into panel wash.

That's something that Google could probably answer for you, but different topcoats could have different thicknesses (which affects things such as detail loss and durability) and different sheens (you don't want a tank kit to look super shiny, and you don't want a sports car to look dull). And personal experience, the type of solvent in the topcoat could affect the paint job, I apparently used the wrong type on a kit a few months back and it caused the panel lining to run (which then got sealed under the top coat).

All UV resin does is cure when exposed to UV light of certain frequency, which is not always the same as the frequency the fluorescent paint reacts to (for example 365nm vs 415nm). That's why I don't understand the point of that action.

This (admittedly ancient) kit was not made with painting in mind. Which is strange, because paint must have been already invented by then.

The glove/cargo/tool compartment does not pretend to fit to the rest of the body. Neither does the door to said compartment. This is shaping up to be a somewhat longer build than I initially expected.

No, all topcoats are not made equal. Matte topcoats are judged by how little light they reflect. As you can see, Mr. Topcoat is pretty bad, you can clearly see the reflected light points. Tamiya TS-80 is better, but you can still faintly see the reflection of the lights. Mr. Super Clear is about as good as it gets, reflecting almost no light hotspots, just one smooth, silky gradient from light to dark.

tl;dr: buy Mr. Super Clear if you care about aesthetics at all. If you don't care, you might as well save some money and buy some garbage like Testors or Krylon.

i used to use that polyurethane stuff. it's not a spray can if that's what you meant by spray.
it's great over acrylics, bonds to the paint well and makes them almost indestructible, but it's not very good over lacquers because it doesn't bond to the lacquer paint well for some reason and just peels off really easily. i imagine it's not great over bare plastic either but i've never tried that.
the gloss is very glossy can be used to seal chromes without killing the chrome effect. the matte has a really nice finish, not quite as flat as mr super clear flat, i'd say more comparable to the tamiya in >>10811842.
they're extremely thick, the bottle says you can spray them through a 0.4 needle without thinning but it's complete bullshit, i used my 0.6 and still needed to thin them. the gloss is a bit tricky to work with because it dries extremely slowly and has a tendency to run if you thin it too much (like when using a smaller needle)

Speaking of topcoating, I'm getting ready to do a proper topcoating of a painted kit for the first time. What's the order that you're supposed to do this in? I currently have a set of pieces on alligator clips, but a number of other pieces that haven't been painted or even primed yet. Should I coat the clipped pieces and then panel line before moving on to the unpainted and unprimed pieces (they need to be painted a different color), or should I prime and paint the remaining pieces before top coating everything in one fell swoop?

Also, what caveats should I keep in mind before gloss coating? I have a vague idea of what causes orange peel (the painted surface not being perfectly smooth prior to airbrushing the top coat on), but I'm not trying to go for a mirror-smooth finish or a chrome job or anything like that, all I care about is that the piece looks nice and shiny when I'm done.

You mean you've painted before without using clear coats? That's a weird order to learn things.

Clear coats are used to
>protect the final paint work (topmost coat)
>dictate the final texture gloss/satin/matte (topmost coat)
>act as a divide between oil paint layers since they don't react to enamel thinner.
>provide a smooth base (gloss) for waterslides and panel lining via capillary action
>or (flat) rough surface for pastels/chalk/charcoal or pencil panel lines
>Seal in stickers.
So use when the above situations require it.

I used to be an idiot who handpainted my Gunpla (if that much, often just small details for color correction), many many years ago. My last Gunpla, first one I've built in years, I just matt coated the bare plastic with a spray can. My current kit is my first ever airbrush job, and I want to make sure I do it right, even if it is just a practice kit.

I'll probably just do a single gloss coat on all the pieces, and then panel wash on top of it. But my main concern for the time being is tasking order, is it more efficient to top coat pieces as they finish drying or should I wait until all pieces are properly painted before top coating? I guess I'm just getting stupidly impatient and should just paint everything first.

If you clear coat it too early, especially metallics, it can cause the paint to get stirred up underneath and mess up your paint job
Whether you clear coat each piece individually or subassemblies or altogether is up to you. I personally do each piece individually so I know I'm getting everything evenly

I'd rather spend my mental bandwidth doing the things I enjoy and not overcomplicating things, than to overstress myself trying to find ways to convert the things I enjoy into money. Yes, more money is often a good thing, but if I spent my free time trying to come up with ways to make more money instead of enjoying said free time having fun, then I may as well just get an extra job. In the meantime I'm actively harming my enjoyment of the hobby that I'm supposedly partaking in because I want to have fun.

I almost fell into this very trap many years back with TF2 and Dota trading, trying to trade-up to more valuable items or hoping/praying for rare drops that I could then convert into Steam market money with which I could then buy more games or better cosmetics. Then I realized that I would be much happier just shutting the fuck up and playing the damn game, and if I wanted money I could just seek employment and make significantly more money than scouring trading forums or min-maxing purchase orders.

Lesson of the day is, don't turn your hobby into a second job. You're trying to enjoy yourself and have fun, trying to be overly smart about it risks destroying your enjoyment of said hobby, defeating the whole point in the first place.

Completely true. A while back I was doing custom repaint jobs for some action figures and while the extra money was nice, it also killed my enjoyment of my hobby and I started just hating using my airbrush because it felt like all my free time was being used on it. Eventually I stopped, but I didn't paint a kit for over a year after that because I was just tired of it.

Funny you should ask.

I was looking at Mandarake today and I noticed that >>10807744
I casually bought for something like 800yen is no longer there and neither are any similar kits. And it is obviously out of print so you can't get it from normal stores anymore. So I figured it probably goes for a lot more than 800yen on auction sites these days. I went to YJA and sure enough there was only one kit of a similar scooter for 5500 yen.
So I bought it, because I want to build that one too and I might not get another chance to buy it.

Yeah, whoever said "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" clearly didn't anticipate this. I also burnt out hard a few years ago trying to turn a hobby into a job. Made me absolutely despise it for a while, I'm only now finding my way back to it.

Nothing stops you from doing what you love to do as your day job AND have a hobby completely different from that, you know.

You can enjoy your day job, but that's not the situation that's being discussed here. If you have a hobby that you enjoy, and you try to turn it into a (second) job, it's a recipe for destroying your love for said hobby. Instead of relaxing and doing what you like in your spare time on your own schedule, you turn it into an occupation where you're beholden to customers, timetables, and all sorts of other expectations, while also having your work dictated to you by others.

As an example, if you like playing video games, and you're somehow good enough to get into e-sports, say goodbye to playing the game how you like when you like. Instead, you'll spend hours every day perfecting minute details of your gameplay to increase your efficiency, practice specific tactics that help ensure victory instead of doing the strategies you love, and constantly living under the knowledge that as soon as you're not as good as the competition you'll stop bringing in prize money and will get thrown off whatever team you're on. This on top of having to get into streaming so that you can build up a fanbase and get Twitch donations and sell sponsored gear, because your regular salary probably isn't enough to cover your living expenses. You might even end up hating the game after a few years, and in the event that you decide to transfer to a different game the same thing will happen all over again.

Some type of super autism mixed with utter retardation is their motivation I suspect. Just sucks cause nobody really wants to post anything anymore due to this constant crap.
