Master Decal Need Help With Painting Master Grade Gundam?
I have no experience with painting gunpla. I have made 5 unpainted gunpla. I also have access to a few Tamiya Color Acrylic paints. I just recently bought my first master grade gundam model, and not sure if it will look ok if I just use a small paint brush to paint thin layers over the pieces. I hear master grades look ok when they're not painted, so would it be fine if I even added the decals when it's not painted if I end up not planning on painting it?
To my experience, Tamiya paints can be a spot too thick, and tend to fill up the panel lines a spot too easily. I generally use Testors Model Master acrylics. For brushes, I use those cheap testors brushes with the white handles, since actual hair-bristle-brushes tend to shed on my models. Tamiyas are best used for details and gold spots, where panel lines are not an issue.
Overall, you have the right idea though. Thin layers, be careful of the panel lines. Find a nice rapidograph pen to fill the lines in with a permanent ink. For the eyes, I would say do an undercoat with the Tamiya silver, and use Tamiya clear paints over top of the silver. Give the sensor clusters and the like a nice, active look to them. Also, for gold I put a clear Tamiya yellow over silver.

Anyone currently or know how to be spondered by RockStar Energy?
I have a very nice Nissan Titan, Custom Grills, Custom Wheels (Off road black chrome and chrome, custom Flow Master exause system. My truck is very clean and looks very very nice, I see people driving around all the time plastered with Rock Star decals and I've HEARD that if you do that they make your cay payment for you as long as you are a rolling advertisement for them.
Has anyone done this, know someone who does, or know how I could go about doing it? Also if you do know about this, how much does it pay? ect ect..
