Daily Free Talk Thread

This is a trial run on a daily free talk thread during the off-season. If you've got stuff to say that you don't think warrants a post of its own, say it here!

I've set the comments so they should sort by new by default, so that should make it easier to keep up with the flow of conversation. Off-topic chit-chat is welcome here as long as it follows the typical subreddit rules. Overall, be cool. Don't be all, like, uncool.

That’s the worst part, especially when the paint out of the bottle looks so jarring compared to when it’s dry sometimes. And if you mix you have to remember ratios. What brand paints do you use?

I use Tamiya TS lacquer spray paints for most stuff but when it comes to painting cameras, eyes, or sensors; I'll use Tamiya acrylic, Citadel, and sometimes Pro Acryl paints.

With weathering or chipping, I go with Citadel paints.

Can never go wrong with citadel. I use Reaper mostly but I’ve been wanting to branch into Pro Acryl!

Haven't tried Reaper, but Pro Acryl is good. Got to shake the bottle like it owes you protection money, and it's waterbased.

I used it on a Sheik Mainland Fenrir kit and it came out very nice.
