armentage

Sorry for my ignorance but which thread do you mean?

I haven't been airbrushing. I know its trivial to spray white, but I'm just getting back into modeling (took a 10 year break!) and I'm a little reluctant to drop the cash on a new brush. I'm >< close to buying a simple external mix single-action!

Any color scheme suggestion for the armor pack? Maybe a light tan, or orange?

Well, what will happen is that I need to apply 4-5 coats before it looks right. Either the color underneath will show (this particular hit has some blue molded pieces), or it will streak, or collect in the corners and look too thick. Invariably, the fine details will be covered and lost. So I try primers... white primers, and by the time i get the paint on, it looks too thick. Airbrush works well, except I'll mess it up again when I go back to paint neighboring dark regions, and get discouraged. Basically, I hate painting white ;( I do like that color scheme! Light gray-blue... rare colors on an Valkyrie

I've recently gotten my hands on a 1/100 Bandai VF2SS transforming kit. I hate painting white... I've been trying for 20 years, and I've never mastered it. So I want to paint my VF2 with some alternative color scheme. Something dramatic and bold, like a Max & Miriya, but not plain old primary colors. Any suggestions? It's the armored kit with the Super pack and pods on the arms & legs, big giant gun on its back.
