a little random tip if you want to add a little bit of a soot like effect just bub some sharpie on the kit then just rubbing alcohol and a cotton bud to wipe some away just be mindful that the longer the ink sits the less will wipe off, this can also be done for some panel lining
I am pretty new to the Gunpla hobby, but it is all thanks to @syd and @ryan for getting me into this awesome hobby. So far I have built 3 MG’s and I am working on a PG Astray Red Frame.

Don’t know for sure how long one can will last you, but back in the old day when I used spray cans myself, I used…[Read more]
Hi @Syd and @Ryan! I’d like to thank you both for teaching me how to properly build and paint model kits! I built the MG RX-78 back in 2001, but I didn’t really touch the hobby again until 2012 when I was desperate for a Deathscythe Hell figure.
