A Gundam builder's guide to IPMS

Image
I've been building models for over 10 years now and competing for close to 5. In that time I've learned some hard, painful lessons but I've also made some of the best friends of my life. Competing in model building is a very unique and rewarding experience and I hope to better equip you for what is to come! I want to take a moment to say thank you to those of you support me on  Patreon ! If you're not subscribed yet, go check it out and consider signing up for as little as 1$ per month. I raffle off some of my completed works once per year and take tutorial requests from all patrons!

Several parts had difficulty retaining paint, chipping down to bare resin after masking several times. (Side skirts, sheathes, and shoulders.) I eventually got paint to stick to these parts using a very thin putty as a tack coat. List of paints used: Gold 1 (light): Gaianotes EX Gold Gold 2: Tamiya TS-23 of which I decanted 40 ml then added 5 drops of clear yellow lacquer (Gaia) Grey 1: NAZCA mechanical surfacer Grey 2: NAZCA super heavy surfacer Metal 1 (grey): Trucolor grap...
