Tamiya paint is much cheaper if you buy it in 23 ml bottles instead of 10 ml. A quick check of a Dutch webshop that sells it says €3.25 for 10 ml or €4.25 for 23 ml — so 32.5 cents per millilitre vs. 18.5 cents. For comparison, this same shop sells Revell Aqua Color for €2.75 per 18 ml (15.3 cents/ml), and both Revell and Humbrol enamels for €1.95 for 14 ml (13.9 cents/ml). So yes, if you buy Tamiya paint in 10 ml it’s hugely more expensive than Revell or Humbrol, but if you get the larger pot, it costs only slightly more.Any recommendations at what paint I should use because I was planning on Tamiya but that is really expensive
Yeah but I will be using spray cans because this model is really bigTamiya paint is much cheaper if you buy it in 23 ml bottles instead of 10 ml. A quick check of a Dutch webshop that sells it says €3.25 for 10 ml or €4.25 for 23 ml — so 32.5 cents per millilitre vs. 18.5 cents.
Wait is it necessary or recommend to gloss over the decals because the decals cover 90% of the model and it would cost me less paint to seal them with semi clear. ( The color the schip needs to be )
And you want it to be simply plain white all over? Then buy a can of white primer from a car parts store. This will be cheaper than modelling paint, and will remove the need to first do grey primer and then white paint over that. You could then also use white gloss car paint over the white primer, rather than gloss varnish.Yeah but I will be using spray cans because this model is really big
Yes that's the one I'm a big Star trek fan and wanted this model for so long and I finally picked it up
