Yaho,
So I bought
this a while back and presently tried out the silver/iron on a Kastellan robot bought for the purpose. The result was *dire* despite using an airbrushed black foundation and base coat as well as a number of decent brushes with 2-3 layers of thinned paints for each highlight step. The reviews hint that it's the wrong colour selection, and by virtue of being game colour instead of model colour I found the results as a whole to come off rather 'tacky' and mono-blocked instead of the blending the model paints seem to do better.
1. Has anyone tried this kit and found a similar problem?
2. I wasn't really able to get anything like the gentle blending steps indicated in the guide, is there a particular paint application technique required for
NMM?
3. Is there a better started kit?
At the moment
NMM isn't particularly appealing since I get better, faster results with metallic inks and airbrushing, but I figured it would be worth trying something new - sadly the kit hasn't sold me on the method :|
