Hello, I'm new to the gunpla and general model making hobby. I just finished my first model, a Astray Blue Frame Second L HG kit, and did a very basic construction, just cut it out and put it together, and for my next model I want to step up my game and do gluing and painting. However, I had a question about the paint I want to use, as it has a metallic red recessed area in the show. How can I make a metallic red paint? Is it as simple as mixing a metallic and red?

Check the Gunpla/Plamo general, read the OP guide.

We have a catalog for a reason, shit for brains. Look for the proper thread and have at it.

it's less about being shit, and more about we've already answered questions like this hundreds of times over, and we already have the answers written out in the first post of the thread related to it. It's not beneficial to just plainly hand out answers. It's way more constructive to make people use at least a little bit of effort to find an answer themselves. It's not hard, just going to the catalog and searching for the thread, and then reading the guide that others have written to get new-commers like you started, but at least that little bit of effort would urge you to use a little more agency the next time you encounter a problem, and do a little investigating of your own later. Nothing good comes from endless spoon feeding. It's like asking whats be written on a piece of paper when you're standing next to it.
tl;dr faggot.

I go in there occasionally and it's just people posting pictures of their Gunpla and getting shit on for it. Kind of like most of /toy/.
