Whether you are an experienced model builder or a beginner, there is always something new to learn. Here are some basic tips to help you on your way.
Preparation is Key
Before you start painting, it's important to prepare your model thoroughly. This means you may need to sand off mold lines and use primer to provide a better surface for the paint to adhere to. A primer can also help to even out colors and improve the final result. Check out our article on building your first Gundam for more preparation tips.
Choose the Right Paints
There is a wide variety of paints on the market suitable for model painting. Acrylic paints are popular because they are water-based, making them easy to work with and also easy to clean. Remember to choose high-quality paints for the best results.
Techniques for Detail Painting
Painting small details on your Moderoid models can truly bring them to life. Here are a couple of techniques you can use:
- Wash: A wash is a thinned paint applied over the entire model to enhance depth and details.
- Drybrush: Use this technique to bring out dimensions by lightly brushing over raised surfaces with almost dry paint.
