If you press down on the marker on the panel line and hold it down, the ink should come flowing out and into the panel lines. This way you don’t have to clean up so much excess ink and get the ink in the panel lines instead only on the sides. I also found in the past that the tips of the “fine” Gundam markers are too thick.
And lucky you, building…[Read more]
I use the same method as @teetee580 mentioned. It works quite well but if you press too hard then you can end up fraying the tip of the marker significantly. Nothing that a few chops of an exactoknife would fix, though.
probably because your tip is no longer fine. you’ve either pressed down on it too hard or introduced it to lots of cleaning agent. It’s now a brush and works well as a brush for wider areas. You can use your blade to shave the tip off and just use the ball if you want.
Apparently, your gunpla backlog gets prrretty bad when you keep buying stuff but don’t build anything for close to a decade, haha. After helping out my cousins and niece build…
It took a while to come this far but for now he presents himself like Bandai has created him in all his glory: The Strike, Version Member of Nudist Beach.
My first car kit that I completed. Tamiya Honda Jazz/Fit. 🙂 I left the ‘defects’ there as a reminder how bad I am and was also scared that I might make it even worse 😀
This is an SD Phenex that I had completed some time ago. Really like how it turns out 🙂 Did not really like the plastic gold, so, I repaint it ->Ueno Black -> Star Bright Silver -> Clear Gold. 😀
I coloured the blue clear parts with a Neon Sharpie and then use Black light before taking the picture:) If you noticed, I actually miss the chest piece and that one looks ‘normal’. Thanks for the suggestion, which MrColour gold paint would that be? From which series? 🙂
Finished pre assembly. Kit is a massive brick. Definetly needs the paint job. For a 12 year kit the engineering is still impressive. Now im looking for some ideas about the paint job.
Ex-s has been on my want to buy list for a while , but as my backlog has about 40 kits in in atm it will have to wait. I also want to spend some time with my airbrush so i can do it justice when i finally get it. Good luck with yours , looking forward to seeing its progress.
I really have problems with finishing the kit before talking on another one. So Kampfer Amazing is 90% finished but i could resist to build the new kit just for 10hours ^^. So…
Here’s my Armed Armor DE for my banshee. Used tamiya gold leaf to paint the psyco frame parts. The same paint will be used on my MG Banshee. Just need to wait for the paint…

You might want to try finding some Copic inking pens. They have much finer tips than the Gundam brand pens.
