[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MiojbOT.png[/IMG] [B]Welcome to the Model Building Thread![/B] In this thread we talk about different models we've made, whether they be from model kits or from scratch all are welcome. Feel free to post tips, criticism, ask for help, and of course, your models. (Feel free to PM me about anything you want adding to the OP (within reason of course))

Oh hey, I dabble in Gunpla now and then. Here's a Geara Zulu I built n' painted. [t]http://orig07.deviantart.net/8bcc/f/2017/146/b/d/ams_129_geara_zulu___red_black_by_skrumpgoblin-dbaiofj.png[/t]

that looks absolutely ballin garrot

[img]http://i.imgur.com/R2OzL65.png[/img] Need I say more? I'm planning to make this fully mechanical (complete automation / robotics & lighting, possibly even shooting BB pellets)

Does anyone have recommendations for varnishes? Matte ones specifically?

What paint type do you want?

[QUOTE=YOMIURA;52569630]What paint type do you want?[/QUOTE] Paint Type? I'm just looking for a clear varnish to protect the paint on my models, really.

Laquer or Enamel? How they are handle is different, so I wonder which you prefer. If you do not, then Tamiya Spray Laquer matte clear issimple to use, and work fine for what you wish.

Papercraft counts, right? I've made a few using the templates from Tearaway, the game for the PS Vita. Here's the main character, Atoi, riding an elk. [img]http://i.imgur.com/BAfAajT.png[/img] I should get back into it, it's been a long time.

I made a Battlestar kit about a year ago. All my supplies have been packed up since I moved to an apartment and I'm moving again soon, but I have a Metal Gear kit that I have coming with me in a box. [t]http://i.imgur.com/cJEB9o5.jpg[/t] [url]http://imgur.com/a/alOVL[/url]

[QUOTE=the_killer24;52627038]dead thread[/QUOTE] Man... wanted somewhere to post and discuss.

Wanted it to be a challenge to build but small enough to paint with my limited knowledge. I feel it came out real nice.

[IMG]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/215742738644205568/364756569625460736/unknown.png[/IMG] Guess I'll revive the thread with this gunpla I finished painting. Mostly an experiment with weathering, tried out the hairspray technique.

[QUOTE][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/JFLokYm.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Built this Big Boy not too long ago. I haven't done a matte coating yet but I am very pleased with it already. Don't worry I also have the LED kit. [QUOTE][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/xYOWZ7U.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]

I would do so many more models if I could paint them worth a shit. I dunno how I did it but when I was a kid I always found tons of metal shelled, pre painted, highly detailed models but now all I can find are white plastic ones

[QUOTE=waylander;52821951]Might sound strange but some types of floor polish are the best[/QUOTE] only for an intermediate coat prior to decals/washing or if you're painting cars, canopies/lenses, or other actually glossy things otherwise it just looks toylike and terrible

Oh, and uh, old content. I'm afraid I haven't done anything related to models/miniatures in a good while now. [t]https://i.imgur.com/5VXg1VY.jpg[/t] [t]https://i.imgur.com/gAGcbZX.jpg[/t]

first time doing the hairspray technique, opinions? i havnt sealed it so i can still change it [t]https://i.imgur.com/hBopLh9.jpg[/t] [editline]5th November 2017[/editline] i really want to do my kv-2 kit or late prod tiger with zimmerit but i hate painting late war camo schemes and i think the zim will just make it even worse

Any of you's personally reccomend an airbrush? (as in which airbrush) Wanting to get one so I can stop with the extra thick paint on my models.

i'm not much of an airbrush guy, but from what i've heard the Paasche H-Set air brush set is a great one to start on.

I've been dabbling in papercraft for a while now, but I recently figured out how to make my own templates! It's a Zone Trooper unit from Command and Conquer 3: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109743/b5295727-71b6-4394-b950-2b3dd0632921/zonetrooperpapercraft.JPG

My first and second gunpla, a Fenice Rinascita and a God, both HG https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/217809/b0fb012c-8900-46fe-809b-1cad5679cfe6/Rinascita 1.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/217809/50af2a08-ded6-4ce0-b456-d248fec58c1d/Rinascita 2.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/217809/954f063d-7115-4a32-9d02-67c1b4a81c9e/God 1.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/217809/f2b3d85b-e805-43a4-bc71-9110786cb626/God 2.jpg Unfortunately I don't know how to use my phone's camera properly and don't have a lightbox yet so the photos are kinda garbage

https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/209014/596752e6-7134-4d0c-bde1-572e214fd0b3/IMG_0845.JPG I build stuff from time to time, here's one of those tiny Meng "World War Toons" kits, a Panzer V, and a Tamiya Walker Bulldog, I don't usually have much time to work on building stuff, so I favor small, simple builds over large, elaborate kits, I'll try to post them here as I finish them, and if anyone wants to point out things I can improve, lemme know! https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/209014/a3e7a5f9-c2de-47f2-bd77-5b7a2759beea/IMG_0831.JPG https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/209014/b70a825b-6e50-41fc-b21a-a4eaa8debb07/IMG_0832.JPG

https://i.imgur.com/Vsbo4mG.mp4 Built a scale version of my car. Also I completed the Rosomak some time ago, just forgot to post it.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DujGVB-UUAEEotZ.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DujFWmaWkAAR6pa.jpg I built some more tanks, a Tamiya Panther and a chibi Sherman, with a surprise appearance of a chibi KV-2 in the background that I forgot to move
