you can use setter on painted surface too, it's just up to you whether want to use or not. if painted but still slippery, you'll still need it.

i'd say top coat as soon as you finished for the day, don't wait until the next day.

I... I.... dun wanna put in spoiler

golbeza is faster

box art is looking. Might get this to pair with sengoku

I only use setter if i accidentally soak the the decal too long or keep positioning it until the glue gone and cannot stick. Softer i use for every decal since it made them look nicer/painted.

If the decal was still slippery, that means you didn't drain/absorb the remaining water completely.

erm... I will be sadding if the 3rd form really is crystallized form...

dipping the decal for too long or playing with it more (by placing it here and there and there) will actually remove the adhesive below the decals

How do you use / apply the softer and setter?

Can't seem to find Sengoku MG nowadays, even at BTS or tradezone here. Out of stock everywhere. Perhaps there is fellow forumer here, willing to let go Sengoku that had been in the backlog for long?

RD Zeta cant transform to wave rider mode
Kamille forgot how to Newtype

that a nice zeta.. is it rg?
i always push this one aside for MG due to Zeta 2.0 price quite high... if im gonna keep adding my gunpla.. i may need to reconsider RG since the detail n color separation is good...

Somehow saiz still does matter to me.. as i like em to be a display item.

any suggestions on how to panel line on white parts and not looking too black heavy?

are those panel wash technique easy to remove access on small tight areas like the head/face?

What type of paint is good n easy to use enamel, acrylic,oil color,ink etc?

Won't be surprise after episode 4
SD Legend will come out with Gundam kouki.
SD Lenged will look so good

I've been buying gunplas for years but only now want to do panel lining, put decals and apply top coat.

I see what you did there.

nostalagic .one of my favorite SD line.I still remember i bought one of the general that transform to dinosaur and another to jet during primary school.

were kinda in the same boat.. mine are non decaled n non top coat at the moment.. only minor paint job on some parts only.. since i dont have my gunpla in a covered display cabinet/case.. i do handle them a lot for dusting/cleaning... since i want to protect painted parts and move on with top coat.. i might as well do some decal, panel line and probably add shading/wear effect..

my fear if im doing it right and i like it... i may soon end up with fully ab paint job..

I've never done panel lining on painted surfaces so I can't comment on painted builds. For unpainted white parts, I use the Grey Gundam Marker GM02 to get the following results. Not too black heavy I think.

thanks for the info.. it is the easiest way to use marker.. yes grey will hv a gentle contrast on white.. but i still find the tip being to big and not as clean as panel wash technique..

you might wanna try real touch marker...
it works better for me than the panel line marker...
