I've no experience with metal parts, but white paint tends to be on the thin and watery side, so I used primer to help cover and stick better. Quote

Damn you, now it seems like something I should do too. Just remember add the silver to the shock struts. Expand Always making more work for me! Not that I mind any tips that help improve the final product. All the landing gear bay doors can be completely removed, which makes masking and painting much easier. Even the one at the very front, but it's in super tight. I had to wrap the door in several layers of masking tape, then use a pair of pliers to yank the door out.

Rogueload Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Almost finished with the Bandai Q-Rare/Rau custom! Quote
Lolicon Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks guys. Yeah the Fiskars mat looks nice and also helped balance out the colors so I don't really need to do any post-processing on any pics except for very minor tweaks. Quote
