That's cool. I have no idea what a papo is though.

My shelf from Coco arrived today. For now, at least, Cap & Bats get it.

How the bloody hell do people get that shield so perfectly straight on his back?? It never looks good for me with that plastic clip thing. Nice job

 

[guy66657]

Nice man! I dunno if it's the lighting or not but the shield doesn't look as shiny as usual. Did you spray it at all or is it just the lighting? Anyway, fantastic pics.

 

[dw316]

Definitely looks like a coating of some sort.

The above shield is very shinny.
Totally opposite with mine.

Ouch....

Don't people coat them to stop flaking of the paint

say does the paint come off the shield regardless of whether or not you displayed it

Yes the paint flakes off all of em eventually.

Yes you should coat it with Tamiya clear coat.

I think everyone is waiting to see if that is the case as well, haha. Tamiya-79 dulls down the shine and supposedly stops the flaking, but we'll have to see if it still does so underneath the coating via cracks and chips. I have both of mine coated so I'm one of the test subjects in the experiment.

Does tamiya-79 can prevent more paint flaking? Any others suggestion instead of tamiya-79? Thx.

You can use any gloss-semigloss sealant for plastics. Depends on the shine you would like. Tamiya is very reputable for models/kits and is a good chemical mix for coating and protecting plastics and paint. You can get testors, Krylon, Rust-o-leium, but just make certain it is safe for plastics else it will damage the shield.

Thanks bro. I actually sprayed my shield with
Tamiya semi-gloss coat to give it a more realistic look and also prevent it from flaking. Here's my tutorial
