      I am 95% sure that you accidentally put "mook" instead of "book", but my headcanon will remain that the original comment was left by an unamused Bodega owner. 🤷‍♂️

    I dig the mook reviews, they're really inspiring. This one especially. It's great for people that want to ascend past snap building but don't have the means or desire to commit to the more demanding aspects of the hobby

    When you mentioned that enamel paints damage the plastic, i realized when they keep recommending the use of a hair dryer, it's probably to quickly cure the products and reduce the possibility of it sipping in everywhere. I don't speak japanese to know if they mention it, but it could mitigate the possibility of damage.

    Building Note: Compressed air siphon feed sprayers suck. Had one when I first started building. Clean up is a pain and the air cans can get expensive, especially if you need a few. Just invest in an airbrush. They're not as complicated as one might think.

    • @ZakuAurelius
      @ZakuAurelius  Рік тому

      I figured that would be the case. Seems a bit like a crutch to make the mook fit the “no airbrush” claim. If he wanted to paint then should have just used airbrush or spray can imo. Kinda like the segment on painting on the runners, I don’t agree with everything in there 🤷‍♂️

    • @priyobudihutomo704
      @priyobudihutomo704 Рік тому

      i term of cleanness i would say paint is better but in term easiness to apply and less time to consume i would say waterslide. so it's based on your limitation.

  • @driftsc2gaming779
    @driftsc2gaming779 Рік тому

    So i have heard the air cans are hard to find/not worth it, should I just paint by hand?

    • @ZakuAurelius
      @ZakuAurelius  Рік тому

      If you mean compressed air cans used with an airbrush then no I would not recommend that. Spray can paint can be fine, especially for beginners. But airbrush with a compressor would be the best for painting (or hand painting but it requires different technique)
