Dedicated primer/top coat airbrush?

Hey r/advancedgunpla I was wondering how many of you have a dedicated second brush for just primer or top coat and what size nozzle you would recommend for it?

I was looking at the cheap dspaie one since I can just keep the primer in permanent bottles but it looks pretty splotchy but maybe it’s fine for my use case. maybe a cheaper iwata or other brand for it.

How do you plan your paint order for a full build?

Hi everyone!

I'd love to hear how you plan your painting process for an entire Gunpla kit.

When you're looking at all the parts before painting, how do you decide which color to spray first, then second, and so on?

Do you usually group all the parts by color and paint everything that needs black first, then move on to red, white, etc.? Or do you plan it part by part?

Also, is it common for the painting process to overlap? For example, you paint a part black first, then mask it and paint part of it red, but later you realize another recessed or raised section still needs to be painted black. Do you simply mask it again and repaint the black?

I'm trying to understand how experienced builders plan their paint order to reduce unnecessary masking and repainting. I'd really appreciate hearing about your workflow and any tips you've learned.

MG exia painted + custom leds

All diy wired with 1206 and 0403 smd leds. Added a usb c port in the back of the base, hooked up to a buck coverter to lower the voltage from 5 to 3 and added a switch in the front to turn it on/off. This was a lengthy project but Im very happy with the result!

Replacing RG Nu Gundam's Head with EG Head but the RG neck don't fit

I heard people use EG Nu head to replace the RG Nu head and I wanted to try it out myself. However, I encountered a problem where the RG neck doesnt fit with the EG head.

I am curious if anyone here knows the fix?

GWCC Week 3. Monument: Vanguard Spec

Ok. Good week, if not a lot of time sunk in. The Monument: Knight Commander Vanguard Spec got a name change because my mods keep shifting it towards an aggressive, front line beast rather than a regal commander.

The change that really cemented the name for me was turning the dober gun into a shotgun type cqb weapon. I LOVE the way it looks despite how simple of a modification it was. Also added a magnetic led to the head, as well as the wing details. All in all I really dig how it’s come together, and next week I begin adding my own custom details, albeit in a restrained fashion.

Anyone have experience with tamiya insignia white

Is it similar to tamiya base white? Can it be sprayed on light grey primer and what kind of finish does it give? Also is it a subtle tone white that’s good for coverage (tried using tamiya base white before and it did not provide good coverage on light grey primer

GP02A Shoulders

I've added subtle custom details on the shoulders and the rest are default. I'd say it is detailed as it is.

This is absolutely not a sponsored post, but damn, RAY Studio tools are the coolest!

You know, I’ve been into this hobby for a long time, and I’ve tried tools from many different brands. But this year, I discovered something new for myself — RAY Studio.
It all started with their hand drill. I was blown away! The quality of the materials, the way it feels to the touch, and how perfectly it sits in your hand — everything about it just feels premium.
And now I’ve just received another package full of their tools. I’m having an orgasm! 😂
Seriously, this is the iPhone of hobby tools, if you know what I mean.
Yes, they’re expensive… but my father taught me to always work with good-quality tools — tools that you actually enjoy using. And I haven’t regretted a single $$$ I’ve spent on them.
RAY Studio, get in touch with me. I’m ready to be your brand ambassador! 😂😂😂

Can anyone give me any details on this? I can't access the AliExpress page

I'm assuming this is a resin kit? Or perhaps just a stolen image for attention?
