你表面果隻係珍珠紫/珍珠紅色嘛? 定係幻變既紫<->錄色?

hi eddie_ch, the surface is sprayed with Wave's pearl powder mixed with thinner.  it is pearl purple.

oic.. thanks alot^^ have u ever tried using Mr. Color's pearl series? always wonder if it's much different from Wave's pearl powder...

哇, 上色同攝影皆為上品 !!

我以為睇緊Hobby japan

to eddie_ch, i haven't tried mr.hobby's pearl color yet.  but i've bought some already.  let me try try and report back later.  wave's powder is very easy to use cuz i can just spray it very lightly and it can be super thin.

thanks for the comments everyone else.  (bow)

NewDesides, haven't see u for long, how r u now ?

認得啊，印像深刻啊

又一件上品!

oic... it's just awesome man! great job... just wonder if mr.hobby's gonna be a cheaper alternative. have u got any other work sprayed with pearl as well? love to see more !!!... pearl can't be mixed with other transparent colors (e.g. transparent blue, transparent red etc) apart from clear right?

super cool! i especially love the paint job!

wonderful.. wonderful....

thanks everybody for your kinda words

to eddie_ch, there are basically two ways to use wave's pearl powder.  one is mix it directly with mrhobby thinner.  other is mix with tamiya clear and then thin out by mrhobby thinner.

my xeku ein's pearl effect is by the first way.  in which you are basically applying the powder directly.  this will be the most effective and also make the model look more flat.

the other way through the mixture of clear, the look of the surface will be more glossy.  kind of like finger nail effect.

i think mr hobby's pearl is the easiest because it's premixed so you will not go wrong on the powder/clear mixture.  you can control the effectiveness through thinning it out and applying the amount of layers to your perference.

hope you understand.  if not i'll happily explain it in more detail.

good.. good...

oic... never know that they can be applied directly into thinner... but would it worn out rather easily without the clear paint?

^ yea it might worn out if you always move around with it with your hands.  so i just leave it on and dont touch it after putting it together.  you might want to spray a light coat of clear in the end to secure it.

hmm ic ic... but i'd rather it staying matt than clear :) can't spray a coat of matt on otp instead right? cos the matt would block off the pearl particle's reflection?!?!

wonderful !!! good coloring, good modification !!!

i'm loving it !!!

^^ eddie, you are right, too much clear on top will disrupt the reflections = lessen the effect.

stitch兄, 多謝多謝.
