Interior parts....

I tried finding but i couldn't find it in the FAQ.... do you guys prime the interior parts as well.... pls bear with me.... i'm a noob......

ALWAYS PRIME EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE GOING TO PAINT!!!!

BUT REMEMBER TO WASH ALL PARTS FIRST.

AFTER PRIMING, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MOLD LINES AND SINK MARKS BETTER. AFTER REMOVING ANY DEFECTS, SIMPLY PRIME THE PARTS AGAIN BEFORE APPLYING YOUR TOP COATS.

PAUL.:D

It does help to prime as it shows up any marks and will help the paint stick better.
It's not really important for interiors though...but you HAVE TO DO THE OUTSIDE BODY !!

I havent been primeing the inside of the last few kits i have build as the stuff is getting expensive :mad:

ok ok .... just to get myself clear..... after repeated reminder from the ppl here... i noe i HAVE to prime the body... but none said anything about the interior parts..... ok ok ... now i know.... thank for the replies...

Welcome to AF!!!:bigthumb::D:wave:

how about the detailing itself, I haven't seen any HOW To's on detailing (brushes to use, HOW to do the brush-stroke's, achieving that "smooth" texture...), plus detailing the engine, too. Or have I missed something? :confused:

Well I assume most of the modeler's in here use an airbrush for their interiors (correct me if I'm wrong though) If you brush paint the interior make sure your paints are very thin. Always brush in the same direction. But always, always thin your paints. If the paint is too thick you will cover up all the small details and it won't look good when it dries:frown: As for detailing, use a very small brush. I use a 00 for fine details. I guess when it comes down to it patience is the key. Plus a steady hand:D

And Welcome to AF:bigthumb:

shall keep that in mind.... taking my time for the new kit i'm doing.... dun wish to mess it up....:smile:
