YF-19 Anniversary edition


Andre Dutra

Recommended Posts

My new model in progress is the 25th anniversary edition of the YF-19

I decided not to use the decals. Gonna paint all the lines.

Here is how it is going

To get the right gold tone had to do this sequence of painting:

1-black

2-Poliester ultra shine finish

3-Chrome

4-special gold for Macross (made by Drycolor)

Drycolor is a Brazilian brand of Poliéster paint. They create whatever color you need.

Hi Chris. This effect is of light only. This is a DuPont Blue color.

The camaleon color exists. But I haven’t used it yet. My wife wants me to to build a Gundam with a green camaleon color.

it's certainly shaping up to be a beautiful build.

 

DuPont you say? is it out of a rattle-can? what kind of paint is it, acrylic?

Yo!!! That looks amazing! How did you get that purple/blue tint to it? That looks so cool.

Chris

I think the underlying metallics have played through the blue layer to create that semi-metallic sheen... 

 

it really is a gorgeous effect, isn't it!?

It needs a special primer to use polyester paints and used equipment to protect the nose (smell bad). But it gives a much wider options of colors and mixes at very low prices. With kids and pets in the house is necessary to have an isolated space.

Hi, not acrylic. This type in Brazil is very expensive. I use Polyester paints. Same type used to paint real autos.
