my first custom, 1/55

Recommended Posts

thought id post pics up of my first custom, as some of my topics ive been asking for a lot of help and some info regarding doing an evil jetfire

well, ive sort of finished it, but im having to stop as i need my work bench due to my car engine needs fixing and my airbrush has packed up

so next week ill buy a new airbrush and start again when i get the car sorted but for now im happy with the outcome, though there are some major mistakes

i used tamiya acrylic paints, and clear for the sealer

i did want it grey but couldnt find a gre i wanted so he went black with purple, so kinda like skywarp colours, fast packs are dark grey, but i need finish them as i missed some masking when doing the black and they need clear coating aswell

the purple is game workshops purple which dires flat instaed of gloss, overall for my first i dont think i did too bad lol, though i need to work on my sanding and filling and using the correct grade of paper as there is a few prep marks in there still

so i hope you like here some pics

I have heard good things about Iwata although I dont have one, I have a Badger 200 which I have had for 15 years it was about £65 back then but the great thing is they still sell em and all the spare are available not that I've needed many though.
