  Nausicaa modelPost Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by bluecladone Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

Hi everybody, I'm looking for some hobby advice. A friend brought me back a Nausicaa model from Japan. I was so excited, I wanted to start painting right away... but I've never painted a model before, and I don't know what type of paint to buy - acrylic, oil-based? The hobby shops in my area carry the typical paints for airplane models, etc.

Eventually I want to collect all the Nausicaa models (my favorite film). Here's a link to the particular model I have:
1/20 Nausicaa with Kai

Wow, that model looks great!

I think the type of paint you use depends on the type of material the model is made...

I'm jealous you have the Nausicaa on her Mehve (my favorite one!).
Thanks, I'll try to get Humbrol! (just noticed they reccomend that kind of paint in the link I gave, too)

wow mpw3d, you are so lucky to have a model shop around the corner! £15 is a lot for a model, but with shipping costs from online sites it may end up costing the same. Anyway you could always try Very Cool Things or Hobby Link Japan. Those are a couple sites where I have found the same model I own.

Thanks Sen, I'll def post pics when I'm done with the model.... but it may be a few months! The pieces are so small I'm gonna need a magnifying glass to paint it lol

If anyone else has done any of these Ghibli models they should also post pics of their work!

15 pounds isn't really a lot. It's a tad expensive, but not THAT dear. My Gundams 1/100 scale models costs slightly more than that, and they are damn worth it.

And nausicaa models are definitely worth a LOT more, don't you agree?
