Description
By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.
To give your Shishibe Shion Figure-rise Standard a more finished look, you’ll want to experiment with some different techniques than you’d use when building Gunpla or other mechanical models.
To create more realistic flesh tones, we recommend using Tamiya Accent Color Pink Brown to do the trick. You can apply this product like standard panel lining fluid, letting it seep into gaps separating the muscular detail. Its rich, reddish color will provide a satisfying shaded look to the model’s skin in no time at all! For model figures with a darker skin tone or a fictional coloration, you may need to experiment with the rest of Tamiya’s liner fluids to find one that’ll bring out the details without looking too stark. To bring out the superb detailing of the model’s clothing and other accessories, utilize your preferred lining techniques and make the model truly your own!
Not satisfied with the glossy texture provided by the model’s bare plastic? Try using one of the many Flat Topcoats available here at Gundam Pros. Applying a layer of flat topcoat to your model figure as the final step towards completion will help protect any painting, decals, and weathering you’ve added to the kit after assembly. It is vital to be mindful of how much topcoat you are using, as too much (primarily flat topcoat) will create a “frosted” effect on the application site. Not only will the model look better, but it will also feel better in the hands. Products like Mr. Super Smooth Clear Spray will give your model an excellent texture, erasing the cheap, plasticky feel of your standard snap-build kit. Of course, use your best judgment to determine if your entire model should be flat, as there may be armor components or accessories that look better with a glossy topcoat instead.
