I heard Gundam marker inks are actually enamel inks. That makes it tough for me to get paints, because the online site i buy paints from sell Tamiya enamel paints more. Acrylic is pretty hard to find and i used PLAKA pelican brand which i bought from stationary shops, labelled "all purpose hobby paint, water soluble". I assumed it is acrylic, and it is. They work well on gunpla, but expect the paints to be scratched off if you use it to paint articulated joints.
holy crap the arm broke becuz of the paint too damn. are u gonna be able to fix it???
ReplyDeletei can hardly believe what i see.
ReplyDeletenever new paint cold screw up your model as bad as ive seen on your blog.
good luck with the repairs.
It pains me to see the double-E one armed.

The paint realy did a good job giving a rusted effect. Im not dissing ur paint job btw ~_~;;.
ReplyDeleteOMG the damage seems more serious than i thought. Those joints look like a metallic one that actually rusted and became brittle...
ReplyDeleteja1s - i fixed it already. as much as i could at least without ordering new parts.
ReplyDeletemarc - yeah me too. maybe just bad luck?
rusted look seems to have just been a side effect. doesnt look that bad but i wish it didnt behave like real rust!
oh at least thats good new but still damn paint sucks when they eat through the plastic lol
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why acryllics are Gunpla's best friend. That is Enamel or Lacquer, right?
ReplyDeletegundam marker actually. which i believe is lacquer. i've had similar results with enamel tho. no primer
