MikeMaben Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 20 hours ago, CraigC said: I have not tried a panel line wash yet from fear of it being too strong but am open to suggestions on a suitable colour. Depends on what you're using as a wash. I use artists watercolors so I can dilute them. If you can dilute whatever you're using, start with a light grey and work from there. Watercolors are nice because they can be removed quite easily if you don't like the result. I'd also start on the bottom where the contrast would be easier to see .

CraigC Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Thanks for that suggestion, I have some oils i can make grey to try it. Maybe different colours or shades for the top and underside? MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sure, the more you can eliminate uniformity the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigC Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) So this build has been a battle, going on for nearly 5 years now. I wasn't really happy with the finish of the paint and really botched the positioning of the insignia masks. I started painting with MM enamels which I have always enjoyed good results with, I think these are too old (purchased around 2008), no longer available and I don't have enough to respray the model. I am leaning towards Gunze Mr Color as the successor the colours accuracy is pretty good and are readily available locally. Here is the starting position, The oven cleaner is arriving on Monday!!

CraigC Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) The paint has come off nicely, the primer has not, any tips for the safe removal of this lacquer based primer? Its a very nice primer to use, I am tempted to try their paint too. Any one used it?

MikeMaben Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I have some but haven't used it yet. From what I've read, it's alot like MRP. I strip MRP with 91% alcohol. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrotten Highlander Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Perhaps you should try first on a piece of scrap material, but when I need to strip my figures from paint because I am not happy I cover it with Dettol floor cleaner and keep overnight in an enclosed environment (i.e. box). Next day the paint just washes off rightup to the metal or resin the firgure has been manufactured with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 SMS paint is pretty good. It will look like you need to thin it more to spray it straight from the bottle, but dont, it will spray just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a lot of information about these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
