I feel dirty for wanting a Swindle now...

Swindle is a fraggin AMAZING figure IRL photos dont do the little monster justice.

 

JIN THANKYOU BUT ONE QUESTION WHAT RATIO WOULD YOU USE FOR A WASH>?

[FreedomGundam]

Very nice guide Jin.

I'm particularly impressed at how you do your repaints with very little disassembly. I'm personally much more of a "take-apart-then-paint", but then again, I'm a Gundam builder as well, so I suppose I take my TF kitbashing/repainting habits from there.

 

Still, very nice work! :thumb

Is there a good type of tape to mask off the areas you dont want to paint? I used masking tape and with the thinned down paint, it seems to bleed into the masked area. Thanks in advance!

I'm no Jin but Tamiya tapes works very well :)

Thanks! I was experimenting more and found out I am thinning the paint too much. Also using primer rather than multiple flat thin coats seem to work better for me.
