Tamiya is still my choice for painting, they just never disappoints me (except for the price, that is...). I've used up probably 10 cans now on my PG Astray, they ran out pretty quickly.<br /><br />I'm very keen to start with a starter bundle pack. but I probably need some advice from someone who knows how to use it.Gundam Beginnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487601405816099728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566531518178950028.post-34930908872162858752012-06-10T23:45:25.789+10:002012-06-10T23:45:25.789+10:00I did the spraying inside a garage but it only hap...I did the spraying inside a garage but it only happend on spots not on whole parts. Still looks good. I agree that the tamiya flat paint(was tired of waiting for the humbrol white flat so found this somewhere, cant really say there is any difference between colour in them) gives a smoother result then the humbrol flat paint which feels grainy after drying, which gives a nice texture but is also more ebrasive then the tamiya I think(had that problem with red from the waist armor rubbing off on the white of the nose of the corefighter. which sucked big time, luckilly some adjusting and a top coat solved the problem.<br /><br />As for airbrush, there are some nice looking starter sets for sale that I have seen, not that I know much about them with compressor included that look nice universal sets to start with instead of instantly having to buy an expensive compressor and expensive airbrush.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188437965331167458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566531518178950028.post-8317771511784206142012-06-10T22:19:25.474+10:002012-06-10T22:19:25.474+10:00Airbrush is the cheapest way to go in a long run. ...Airbrush is the cheapest way to go in a long run. Save up and get one is actually a good idea! I'm still using spray cans at the moment, its really draining my wallet very rapidly. I always uses Tamiya sprays because of the smooth colours!<br /><br />As for the frost issue, its because the air humidity is high when you topcoating it. Try use Topcoats in sunny days or check local weather forecast for humidity levels. I had an experience on this as well.Gundam Beginnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487601405816099728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566531518178950028.post-76381220826945961402012-06-10T20:11:40.377+10:002012-06-10T20:11:40.377+10:00I hope I can have an airbrush when the time arises...I hope I can have an airbrush when the time arises lol, I used spray cans on my GP01 and it just a pain to see how many cans I needed for that, and even though humbrol is cheaper then tamiya(only by about 2.5 euro, at which a 100ml tamiya can is 9 euro's and humbrol uses 150ml cans). I want more control over they painting, I had a few problems with the cans, especially the flat coat that frosted(but it it looks awesome on some spots looking like wear and tear from usage)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188437965331167458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566531518178950028.post-8345371157046485782012-06-10T13:34:55.248+10:002012-06-10T13:34:55.248+10:00ah...
