Need advice on painting
« on: May 13, 2010, 05:54:14 am »
Hi everybody, I just bought my NG 1/100 Exia almost 1 month ago... And I`m actually disappointed at the color, very boring...

Just about 3 days ago, I found a video that transforming a BL Sinanju to looks like a Titanium Finish Sinanju (but the shine isn`t like titanium :D)

The work will need a mithril silver color, and a tamiya acrylic paint clear red, the trick is to paint the parts first with mithril silver, and then paint it with clear red... and the results is real awesome for a BL...

and now, I need advices, can you tell me which is the best to paint my exia? I created a sets of Colored Exia, and the color itself is a theme from another gundam, such as SF Extra finish, etc...

Please the advice!! ^.^

A modeler here did something like that with a Sazabi by putting clear green over chrome silver. Go for it.

I was wondering are you planning or using an air brush or hand painting it. If you have an air brush i suggest looking at alclad2 brand paints they have some really nice metal colors.

okay,the Marasai is great, yeah, what I want is to be glossy like that, but apparently, I`m still stuck on what color I`ll paint... >.<

Can you give me a Mithril Silver look-alike paint? I mean the color is nearly resemble that mithril silver, so I can paint the GN Blades with silver...

And so, Can you tell what gold color used on akatsuki is? Is it Silver + Clear Yellow, or silver + titanium gold??
