ctruss53 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 On this build I decided to try something I saw on YouTube. You take a 3D model kit and paint it up like it is 2D anime. It is also known as CEL shading. So I took this 1986 Sprinter Trueno kit from Aoshima and tried it out. The various shades of purply blue on the windows was airbrushed on. Then I primered the car with Tamiya white primer. I then painted the hood with Mr Hobby black primer. All the other various shades of grey was hand painted on with a brush. Then I used a Gundam panel line marker to paint the panel lines and draw all those black lines on the model. Tehn I used a white gel pen to draw the highlights on the hood. And finally I sprayed the whole thing with a matte clearcoat. I hope you enjoy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctruss53 Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Tehn I made an anime base to display it on. Set the car on a piece of foamboard. Traced the shadow my workbench light left on the foamboard. and colored it in with a sharpie. Then took a sharpie and a grey marker and colored in some anime road. Ended up with this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullybeef Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Well now that’s something new, I applaud your efforts, if I did t know better I would swear I was looking at a hand drawn 2d model. Fantastic paint work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Very cool! Especially convincing when you have it on the base. There's a guy locally that has wrapped his Nissan GTR in this style. It's mindbending in person! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
