I cannot afford air brush just yet, so my brothers and I settle for spray cans…
Now at my place here, a good spray can for plastic model is virtually impossible to find. Probably if I go into every shop here at my place, I could possibly find one…
Then again, that is a waste of time.
So we bought these spray cans and tried them on my military units…
Well, one for sure about color spraying, it does take heck lots of time. First I have to cover parts that I do not want to be sprayed. I used a normal masking tape for that. That is the most tedious part to do…
Then spray!
I learned that spraying directly made my models looked ugly…
Later I found out that you cannot spray directly but instead you swing it left and right, with the model between the two points you swing spray…
Hmmmm…
I do not have pictures to show you…
Maybe I will put it up later…
Anyway, that method produced better sprayed coating…
I was lazy to cover the design on the Military Units shields…
So as you can see, when I scrapped off the paint, other part of the paint peeled off as well. I have to cut around the part that I want to scrap the paint of to minimize this. Doesn’t really work that well…
Probably the paint then…
Also because I didn’t put the coating over the paint, it easily gets scratch off. The pictures below shows the paint was scrapped off. Probably I should have done like what my brother did. Make the spear staff thinner and then spray the colour on. It does work with his Military Units though…
After you spray the colour on, the surface gets slightly thicker…
The paint does not really stick well on the plastic surface so probably we still need to find a better spray paint…
