Few more questions though!
Thanks in advance also
1) Did you apply a layer of black to the actual painted areas too?
2) I noticed that brawl's colors seem to be more rich in your picture, is that the effect of just applying a thin layer of black to it? Or did you add some other effect?
3)Also did you need to take the toy apart, or you just painted it?
4) Last question! For the megatron, after you repainted it with silver, did you use the shading effect on the newly applied silver paint? Just wondering if you start smudging the newly applied silver paint with thinner wouldn't it sorta come off?
Much thx mpchi!
1) Yup. Black was on top of painted areas as well. The stock paint job is very durable, using industry level grade paint that won't wears off easy. A thin enamel wash won't damage it at all, not unless you sand it down with sandpaper LOL.
2) Yup. Pretty much just the shading & smudging helped the bare plastic looks that much better.
3) No, I didn't take the toy apart at all. And I did the black paint wash very rough too, since its just to get paint wash covering areas and grooves I need them to. Most of it will be smudged off later. So just get some cheap brush and paint away, reaching all areas you want to look a bit dirty.
4) For Megatron, the flow goes like this: Silver paint on almost the entire thing, minus some black bits and gold bits. Then do my thin black enamel wash, a nit on the light side, since the wash will mix with the silver paint thats already on it. So unless you want Megatron to look very dirty, don't overdo the wash. So now Megatron is dirty silver. Then I go in and repaint some panels (head, chest plates, some parts of arms & legs) with clean silver, to make those feature shapes & areas pop. The rest, then I use dry brush with little silver paint and dry brush the rest of the dirty areas, make them look more worn, and less dirty. When everything is done. Then spray the clear coat and seal the whole thing. Mind you, for doing the dry brush part, make sure you don't use your favorite brush to do all the smudging. That brush will be ruined big time.
Hope that helps, and good luck on the paint job. Bet yours can look better than mine.
Just wow! Amazing paintjobs right there. Shame's there's no more Leader Class models planned to make it look like an even better collection.
