Well you seriously gotta stop using those humbrol paints mano. And for the love of goddess try to remeber to wash the parts and undercoat. This is a quite nice blox bash, it looks realy dinosaurey, but hte bleedthrough on your paint is letting you down. You;ve got to hae a games workshop store near by, those bastards are evreywhere. go grab some skull white, and ditch that flaky cheap enamel gunk forever. you will be glad you did.

Flat white enamel is quite good mind you, I'll show ya a pic of my +- finished DA lizard a bit later and paint there is very nice and smooth. I prefer enamels over GW stuff because they're a stronger fit and feel much better when you touch (or its just me, but I used both enough to pick a favorite). As for you, Van, try spraying it on or using a good brush. Then of course don't forget that practice makes perfect, so just practice. |

Van, like I've always said, I like your kitbash and designs, very creative and original, but I have to agree that you should try spray paint, or use a mild retarder if you want to hand paint to eliminate brush strokes.
I'm sure you'll still improve a lot so long as you keep on customizing. So keep those customs rolling off the line, ok.
darth on.

i never tried painting my customs but i think it is really much much better if you use spray paint. and try to paint all the parts, as i can see from the picture the iside parts of your custom is not painted.

I like the zoid's design, I wish I had one, but you need to work on the painting a little bit.

Like others have mentioned, the painting is messy. Like your other customs, I really like the build! You should've covered up the empty parts of those side missile launchers with some styrene sheets or putty. They are so visible. You just need more patience when painting  |

With that, you will advance into even greater heights well i admit i don't primer everything i paint unless i want two highly different colored parts the same color soooo, it does work or if i paint something white or a light colored paint it helps cover every part and bring out the color of the paint not the plastic |

primer is a paint that is flat and rough and allows a better bond between plastic and paint |

mightbe sensible to ask the following:
Where do you get tour supplies from van? it seems that whereever you get stuff from, thye obviously dont give advise as well. So i'm guessing you grab em from the local department store. It might be worth finding a nearby hobby shop, and seeing what you can get there.
