Side-note from same test, getting better at applying ultralumen chrome without freckles: About 13 psi, very quick passes (so fast I miss the piece occasionally lol), about 6 inches away. Like alclad chrome but even lighter.
Had to turn off the fan next to me, was affecting the spray
Appreciate when details like eyes are raised up, all I have to do is put a small square of tape over them and the background spray finds the edges without issue. One mark in favor of the revive Qubeley over the earlier HG version in my opinion.
On top of the prior flaws, this was the first time I had major issues assembling after painting.
Inlaid binder pieces didnt have enough room and chipped at the top, and the cap on top of the backpack needed major shaving/clipping to even marginally fit on.
Finally all painting done on accessories, a good opportunity to test out a couple of Tamiya's metallics.
My application of the candy-chrome was heavy on the basing (too heavy/lost some details) and last coat was imperfect (ex top-front right shoulder) but a fun first test.
Separated upper and lower parts in the two-round application just in case the mixing was slightly different between batches, seems I didnt need to worry though
Work in progress, part one of this "golden god" 2k tint I'm testing. So far not bad, getting the reflective gold I want.
Its expensive up front ($20!) but getting an ounce of something that is used in tiny drops probably means I'll never run out. Hope to find a smaller sample pack of other colors
Naturally, as one test goes well I have to absolutely eat shit on another to balance things out
-Bits of paper towel from a lazy clean job -Bandai decals failed bad, maybe 10 hours not enough dry time? -2k pulled the enamel further from the edges in this case. First time I've seen this result
