"lacquer and plastic don't mix"
time to conquer the hardest part in building this Sinanju, painting the emblems!
you know the moment when you have two choices and you decide to pick one over the other because you were to lazy to go out to buy simple materials? well thats exactly what happened to me.
i had the choice to hand paint or to do the reverse wash? oh look, i'm out of enamel paint (too lazy to go out) guess i'll just stick to hand brushing it then.
after 1 hour:
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH, i forgot i stink at hand brushing!!!
never mind, lets just go dump this in thinner so that i can start over…
hmmm, two bottles of thinner? i'm sure this ones acrylic. (it was lacquer)
after 2 hours:
AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! it was lacquer!
so from a week to finish this, to a month of waiting for replacement parts.
the parts came in time for the contest, thanks to Gentei Kits. (owe them big time)
in the end, i stuck to doing a reverse wash…
anyway, lesson learned: "Lacquer and Plastic DONT mix"
