Talking Finally got the P-Man shine

At last! I have mastered the rattle can shine like P-man!

P.S this pic was taken 5 minutes after I painted it.

I actually got htis finish, due to a F**kup. I thought I would be smart and sand my final coat with 2000 grit wet n' dry, but it came up dull and scratched to buggery. So I thought I could polish the scratches out with tamiya compound. It still looked sh*t so I just washed the body (to remove the compound) and gave it another wetcoat and voila! Fluked it! So now I'm gonna paint all my models in this method.

1 mist coat, let it dry for 1min or so.
1 wet coat, let it dry for 2 days.
sand then compound.
wash.
Paint final wetcoat.

Hopefully it works.

Oh BS...you know you bought a kiwi bot and you and Warren just don't wanna let us know where we can get ours Just messin with you. That shine is unbelieveable though. I can get a shine, but it takes me a lot of work and it's still not that brilliant. That's just beautiful. GREAT work!
