TUTORIAL: your own clear paints
One of biggest benefits in [X-bone] build was discovering this techinque that i'm about to show you guys, i had no idea how it will turn out but... well you will see for yourself :D
One day i was talking with PhantomPain - the el cheapo~ gunpla king (man you are awesome and you know it)- and hee told me that you can use some food dye to tint fuure to make clear paints, well since food coloring isn't exactly cheaphere (and i had none at the hand) i started wondering if i can use something diffrent...
Just to let you guys [i]see how[/i] this came to life.
So looking at the various things in my factory (this is where i live - Zyncium Factory :P just joking) i found those:
this is basicaly a Kool-aid, sweet drink (altough this one need helluvalot of sugar to make it sweet) that you make youself by adding water.
I mixed it in a small container with future, what we get is this:
doesn't look very prety right? well, as you can see i prepared another container and some coffe filters (i think you could use other things to filter it)
and here it is after filtering:
now that's better, right?
okay, i know what you think, does it even work? well i have to say: yes it does, but -because this is future - you need to apply several thin coats, and because this is future - you don't need to topcoat it!
just to see that it realy works here is crossbone Beam Zanber blade:
quite pink isn't it ? most of ver. Ka blades are pink so it is a good test piece , and here is a pic of painted blade on a completed kit - THIS IS NOT PHOTOSHOPED OR ALTERED IN ANY OTHER WAY:
diffrent angle with less light on the blade:
Hopefully this will be usefull for someone :D, if anyone will have a question I will be happy to answer
