Your work is incredibly beautiful, I recently tried my hand on repainting my own RiD arcee and all I could say is that its decent T T, but anyways incredible job! could I know what paint you used and did you use any primer or specific paint, I would love to learn to help me better paint my own arcee.

"i know this comment is late" but how long do i gotta wait?
@IaconDispatch7 ай бұрын
Not sure what you mean by how long you need to wait. If you mean how long to let the paint dry before playing with the figure, I’d suggest at least one full day.

You can simply use a brush, but it may not give you the smooth and even finish that you can get with a spray.

The Movie advanced Optimus mold still holds up so well. Hopefully we can see a modernized version of this mold in Voyager/small Leader scale in the future. It would be almost like a downscaled version of the Movie Masterpiece mold!

@IaconDispatch Жыл бұрын
Well, there is a risk that paint can gradually wear off the more the figure is handled, but I’ve found the Tamiya paints I use in this video to be rather durable. In general, I’d suggest that if you intend to play with the toy often, perhaps minimize the paint you apply, or choose an alternate customization method. For example, stickers from Toyhax are great quality and really improve the look of Transformers toys. 👍🏼

A problem saw from ss32/44,, and after owning him after a whule is that they basically tried to scale the truck down but keep the robot mode the same. Basically truck: 80/100% and robot 98/100% in terms of size...so they can't hide any of the robot parts anywhere and or enlarged.
