If you're airbrushing it also depends on whether you can fully vent out the fumes as to whether you should use acrylic or lacquer too, though acrylic is not as non-toxic as many would like to believe either.

Schwarzwald posted:I'm plan to get back into modeling, and I'm hoping to get into painting. Is there a good list of what brands to buy from / how colors will look after painted on / what colors will look good together? there are a several major brands, usually people vary between miniatures / model paint lines. which there's Vallejo, Tamiya, Pro Acryl, Citadel, Army Painter and Reaper. there are other brands but those are the ones I'm most familiar with as for how they'll look painted there should be some YouTube's with each paint line showing how they'll look over primed models. pick whichever color range you like as for what goes well together that's a very large question but the cheat code is use sports teams colorways. let some other nerd do all the color theory work for you. there are color picker apps that also let you pick a primary color and it'll give you variations on schemes from there personally I've switched to using Pro Acryl's in the past month and I love them. great coverage and I like their screw cap bottles

Hand paint, and basically no  I R SMART LIKE ROCK posted:as for how they'll look painted there should be some YouTube's with each paint line showing how they'll look over primed models. pick whichever color range you like Designing a color scheme from scratch isn't really what I'm worried about. I've ordered the Moderoid Viola Katze, and I from what I've seen a lot of its parts of unpainted and its base black is kind of mid. I'm mostly aiming to have it more closely resemble how it looked in show.

Schwarzwald posted:Hand paint, and basically no not familiar with it personally but looking at references online it's basically that dark neutral gray, dark warm grey, magenta and fluorescent green pretty much all the major lines will tell you they got ya covered, but does that model not come with a paint guide on what they used?

Schwarzwald posted:Hand paint, and basically no Get some plastic spoons and practice on those. Lighting (edit: and PRIMER COLOR, watch some videos on the pros/cons of using black vs gray vs white vs pink vs brown primers) is going to have a big effect on how things look, and if you get really into the weeds, colors on your computer screen won't necessarily match the color in real life, let alone whatever is on the bottle. Don't sweat the exact color, do what looks good to your eye, even while color-matching. I definitely made the colors for my Messer too dark, but I like the colors themselves (the finish, on the other hand, lmao, I hosed the finish so bad). Practice thinning your paint so that when you paint those plastic spoons it goes on nice and even and doesn't leave brush marks. Future you will thank you. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBDVPoNXyVI I'm working with Army Painter's new Fanatic line, which I'm finding to work well for my Millennium Falcon, but the brand is pretty interchangeable at your level. You're not going to be debating how bad the pigment density of Corax White is on forums anytime soon. But I'd stick with water based acrylic for now, as those are the easiest to work with. Army Painter, Vallejo, Reaper, AK, and Citadel all do those just fine (but Citadel will have you mortgaging your home because Games Workshop wants your money).

I’m guessing they sold out quick, how many did they sell to people who actually intended to keep/built it? Probably not too many. Judging from what I’m seeing on eBay paying 2k for one was a bad investment.

Well, I've had it sitting in a box for uh, 4 moves, and before this week haven't worked on it since 2018 but finally at least got the main body done, and some real batteries for it.  maybe i'll even finish the rest of the kit this decade

I’ve been building the HG Calibarn the last few days. Really neat kit, fun build and it looks cool. I was almost disappointed how little cleanup I had to do, no seams or mold lines and there wasn’t much for me to color correct/paint. Backpack boosters and bustle: I got u fam
