>>11289731>uses mr.hobby mr.super clear matte spray
>>11289731"Gundam marker? Nah, micron is good enough."
>>11289741what's wrong with using that? i use it on my custom Nendos and it's what they company uses for their prototypes. it's also the only matte paint i've found that doesn't leave whiteish powder on the figure
>>11289762What's the difference?
>>11290270Nothing, it's based. Customize toys how you wanna do it and don't listen to the faggots who criticize your favorite pieces. The methods that work for you, work for you.
>>11289731Why pay for paint when you can just mix paint together and get the same results?
use paint thinner ? Nah thank bro, I'm just gonna put the pencil in the paint directly
>>11289731wait what's wrong with greenstuff
>>11292379Literally nothing.Faggot is trying to be elitist cuz it is>Le Epic Superb Quality JAPANESE PRODCUT Tamiya Putty. SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOUR WESTERN GREEN CRAP.
>>11292388Sounds like that line about green stuff upset you greatly
>>11292379NTA but greenstuff tends to cure slightly rubbery and sharp edges often become softened after curing. That said, mixed 1:1 with Milliput or Apoxie Sculpt it becomes much better behaved.
>>11292446Can I do just milliput?
>>11292483You can but it has the opposite problem, it's quite brittle and crumbly, and also not great to work with. Mixing the two putties gives the best of both worlds; the ease of use and durability of Greenstuff and the detail retention and hardness of Milliput.
>>11292490So if I buy the Tamiya japanese thing I could skip the mixing step?
>>11292509Probably, I've actually never used Tamiya putty but I hear it's good.
>>11292514Well now I'm glad this thread exists before I just used milliput to make my custom yugioh monster figures
>>11289731>wake me up when your testicles drop
>>11289731>" I don't need any fancy tools or paints. All of my masterpieces were achieved with head swaps between Hasbro figure lines."
>>11292388OP here. Not being elitist, I unironically love that people customize their own way and think even some of the worst customs are still based.
>>11289731may I see the splendid result?
>>11293142>headswaps>boil 'n' pop limbs>here's my custom, bro
>>11292379What's greenstuff?
>>112961062-part epoxy putty used for sculpting.
>>11292388it objectively is thoughmost western paints suck
>>11289731>>Hot glues fabric to plasticThat's exactly what the factories do too.
what is the consensus on spray painting figures that you want to change the main color of, then painting the remaining details
