Crash course? Advice ko lang is practice, pero eto yung sinasabi ng ibang modelers na "Perfect Modeling Manual". This is called 'Max Technique' as invented by Mr. Max Watanabe (Gundam Modeler Extraordinaire) ;D

i gotta study this!

how about making a wash for the panel lines? ano ung advisable na formula?

[Uberjam]

ako gusto ko itry sana yun oil wash. its simply an oil paint that you can buy at any arts shop and have it thinned out with "spirit", its what they call for the thinner of oil paints. at ang result daw is like dirty water. then you apply a bit of it on a brush and wipe the excess from the kit with a tissue paper.

and i think this technique works well for untreated kits?

i cant remember kung san ko nabasa... pero i think after applying the wash you should let it dry overnight... then you apply a coat (i dnt know kung spray) to seal the oil... i remember na painted na ung kit before the wash was applied...

Washing the kit with detergent will remove dirt, excess oils or unwanted particles from the surface of your models kits.. It will also help the paint to stick to the surface of your plastic model.. I recommend priming the kit but you also have to wash the kit before priming. It really helps!

Regarding your inquiries, I suggest you surf the net for more info. Detailing is not something that you can learn overnight. You have to put alot of dedication and patience for you to perfect it. A LOT of practice too! You will eventually develop your own style as you progress.

I will post some of the sites that helped me when I organize it. In due time though. Too busy with work. Practice some patience first!
