I cannot have much respect for someone who disassemblies a transformers and just spray paints it. People who hand paint thier customs have alot more definition in thier custom work. And looking at his/her Roadbuster it looks like someone used a can of spraypaint on it. I could be wrong, but it appears as such.

shockblast2 wrote:If you know how to properly control your brush stroke then you will not have lines when you hand paint. I fully disagree that it is "inferior". It is all in the person who is painting it. Anyone can disassemble and spray paint a figure. Any line worker at a plastics factory knows how to pull pins and remove screws. Let alone aiming a spray can. Only a select few can hand paint a custom and make it look good. That is why you have so many customers that use air brushing. Because it does not take much skill to do so.
To each his own, but again, I can't have much respect for some one who can operate a screwdriver and a spray can as far as customs go.
Blurrz wrote:Yeah - whatever you do, air brush or hand brush, a great amount of skill is involved. Even if one were to 'spray paint' parts it would take great skill to avoid mass clumping. For what customizers actually do - using an air brush is quite the skill that I respect and want to learn one day.
Not saying that hand brushing is inferior, I am able to bring out the details in alot of figures and I enjoy it. However when its figures like Animated ones that don't exactly have much detailing, or Prime figures for that matter, then a paint brush will have a higher chance of leaving paint strokes that are visible to the human eye, thus air brushing is superior.

You create an essay style breakdown of your OP after trashing mine like yours is more important. I don't know how they do things in Canada, but this is the US and i can have an OP about anything I want. Like it or lump it. So, get over it and yourself. If you don't like what I say move on.
Skywarped - After reading your post I think maybe I was being a little harsh. While I still firmly believe that hand painting takes more skill, air brushing does have to have some talent as far as shading and the like. I personally do not like the look. It reminds me of those cheap tshirt vendors, you know what I mean?
To the other guy on the 1st page. I said someone because I was not attacking Xaviercal personally. You are right I don't know him and I didn't act like I did. That is why the comment is a generalization. Using this method, in my OP (did you catch that Convolutedtron, I said MY OP)it is an inferior form of customizing. Again, that is my personal OP and I am not the final judge, jury , and executioner on the subject like Convolutedtron obviously thinks. Because he valued mine so much he took time out of his busy day to write an essay to counter my OP. I actually feel quite honored that he cares so much that he would do that......
I guess i could have said it in a nice way, but I really couldn't because I would be sugar coating it. Which is basically lying. I feel the way I do because I do. If you do not agree, then good. You are exercising your right to disagree.

Feel all you want. It's not going to allow you to impose your will on the realities of the physical properties of paint application via brush or propelled technology.
You stated assertions as facts, I called you out on their flaws, and you can't counter them.
The best you can offer is an unsolicited and emotionally fueled response because you're clearly out of your league.
This isn't about you, shockblast2. Get over yourself. You're just another faceless internet denizen who spouted erroneous information. This is about getting the truth about customizing techniques set straight.
Someone may someday stumble upon this thread and believe what you say about things like "brush control". It would be irresponsible to allow that garbage statement stand without correction.
I don't care if you're frum Murika. This is the internet. If you don't want to be called out for putting out opinion as fact, don't involve yourself in discussion forums.
To everyone else, including the mods, I apologize for taking part in escalating this thread further into an off topic route.
