In the last few weeks I've turned my gunpla building up a notch. I joined a few forums and I started making a plan on what to do with the boxes I have around the house. Here's a few things I've found out so far:
All of this being said, I also decided that maybe spray painting was not for me. The cans run you about $4-$5 each and there's no flexibility in colors. There's also the issue of space, my apartment in downtown Denver does not have a balcony or any easy place for me to paint without getting fumes inside the apartment. Currently what I've ended up doing is considering going to the back alley behind my apartment and spraying there. The one time I did it I had my girlfriend as a lookout and got 3 parts in before she started thinking we should go back inside. So I'm going to just use the cans I have on some projects and move on to airbrushing. I'll probably take the cans to my office in Boulder. There's a balcony there and I could theoretically get some work done there in the span of a week or so. Every time I think I need a color I'll put that can's worth of money apart. I'll be able to get a airbrush kit in no time. In the meantime I'll research the building of a spray booth and what compressor I need, It needs to be super quiet.
