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. Last edited by circuitR; 08-24-2003 at 09:01 PM. |

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.  |

 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!
