Painting Jupiter Station Resin Kits

Post by Talesin »

I'm having trouble with paint pulling up from the surface of my USS Steamrunner kit from Jupiter Station. I've worked w/ resin kits from Alliance and never had the problem w/ peeling paint before. Is it the paint (tamiya)? Did I not use enough Mr Surfacer? Or did I not wash the parts well?

I've had no problems.

Thoroughly washed using warm water and detergent.

Gave it a light sanding where necesaary.

Wiped down with denatured alcohol.

Undercoated with Games Workshop matt white acrylic spray.

Use Tamiya masking tape as its fairly low tack.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage
to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today because they got on my nerves.

And help me to remember when I'm having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile
and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!
