Sinanju project day 5
After a break for supplies, we're back!
So now I'm prepping for painting. I've got my:
floral foam
coffee stirrers
loctite blue fun-tak
Hopefully polly-s airbrush thinner will work fine with tamiya and model master acrylics. ^.^ Anyone have experience with this?
Additionally, I'm exploring what metallic paints will work best for the trim here. Obviously, Tamiya silver and gold are out of the question, as they're far too grainy. My Reaper master series gold is quite nice, but there's no way it's going through the airbrush. If I were to hand-brush the gold, I'd have a winner, though I might need to mix it down a bith. I've got a model master acrylic gold that's okay, but it's fairly brown. Should I go all out and pick up some SNJ or AlcladII?
These are the only parts that needed filler work, and the fuel tanks only because I butchered them. I have to hand it to bandai's engineering on this thing. I MAY still need to use putty on the back of the head and the wrist armor plates, but I can't till till after I've painted and assembled. =(
Everything is washed, soon as they're dry I'll re-bag, and butcher a cardboard box to use as a makeshift spray-booth. Stay tuned!
