hey team quick question I have been using gundam marker for panel lines and I use a regular eraser when I make mistake and its been good for a long time. but now I started painting my kits with spray paint and when I make a mistake with panel lining erasing it take off the paint too. any suggestions?
There are two options for you.
-1 Get a Gundam Marker Eraser. It is a marker with a solution which dissolves the “paint” of the Gundam Marker. Can’t guarantee it won’t dissolve your other paint though. I suggest testing it out on an old part first.
-2 Get rid of the Gundam Markers and buy some enamels, a thinning agent and cottom swaps to do a pin…[Read more]
spray paints are usually enamel based right? (atleast the tamiya ones are) correct me if i’m wrong, you could put in a clear coat after spray painting to protect it when panel lining.
I normally use an airbrush with acrylic paints then use a spray clear top coat. then use tamiya panel line accent with are enamel based for panel lines. and just…[Read more]
no spray cans are usually not enamel based there are three different kinds of paint out there and spray cans can be laquer acrylic or enamel tamiya is laquer
If I were to get a Tallgeese, which one should I get???? Also what other MG should I do? I am currently waiting on my Blue Frame Second revise Astray to come in, and I just put together my first mg, the OVA color Sinanju. what should I order next? I am torn between the Sazabi ver. ka, and the Nu ver ka.
The easiest one to get which will also be the easiest on your wallet is Tallgeese 1, i’ve built that one and it’s quite fun, I just had to paint it because that white/light grey color combo sucks. I’d go with the Nu and save the sazabi for later
Nu has some teensy funnel issues but has the psychoframe gimmick which I like. Hi-Nu looks better in my opinion but there are waterslides for the two tone funnels which seem to fit better so I’d say……flip a coin because either is going to be a great build.
About the upcoming MG Exia Dark Matter, do you think they’ve fixed the ankles on it? Pics shows that it’s the same ankle as the regular Exia. I might be wrong though but one can always hope.:) And also the P-Bandai exclusive MG Grey Zeta would that be based of xeta 2.0?
One of the simplest recommendations that even the manual gives is to get a gundam marker and fill in the panel lines. It really changes a model. Black is always a good choice, grey might be better on white suits, up to personal preference.
As well as that, it’d be nice if you can get your hands on some matt/flat varnish (top coat) to apply a…[Read more]
Hi I recently assembled a Patlabor 1/35 scale MG kit and thought it would be nice to have a Macross Valkyrie 1/35 MG kit Transformable. Hope they’ll make one some day.
