I'm afraid to touch this thing because ive never handled vinyl. Any tips? This was a gift, all I did was talk to the right guy at the right time and he sent it to me FOC. All he asked is I later pay it forwards, which i did gifting a Bandai ATAT to a friend as a Christmas gift to his son. This...

No i wanted that ice blue. Kinda a dragon Conan would face.

Ive a rack of the old Testors candy colors as Ive always called them that are still good and over a decade old. And 2 one oz bottles of Floquil gloss black. To me that was the best stuff. As Ive been going through my paint Ive tossed a large coffee can of jelled up Model Master ect, though my...

Yes, I want to hear about this. Theres a guy building the perfect grade Falcon on Starship Modeler, he started with acrylics then weathered with an oil wash. Looks great I asked and he did say that he primed first. That issue could be with the figures. I havnt painted any of my bandais.

what Ive heard is that you cannot put an enamel nor lacquer directly on the plastic. If you do it can break it down over time. Acrylics are fine and best for a primer, once down you can then do what you like. I read this in a discussion forum for bandais gundams. Its worth looking into.

Have to be careful because Bandais plastic can be reactive to some paints- that said after i stopped building and was still buying/trading kits I did score a Fine Molds Tie Fighter in 72. Nice looking little kit in the box.

Nice going! Ive the Bandai Falcon in the stash though its 144 and Force Awakens- I wouldn't mind finding another in 72.

Welcome Mark! Enjoy your stay!
