I believe that Top Coat is the only solution to your problem. Get any...flat, gloss, semi gloss....just spray it to protect the Gold. Coz you can't paint the same spot over and over again...unless you scrape off the previous paint.

hisugayat- is that a 1/60 wing ver ka ? never seen that b4

i want to ask, what if im using spray-can instead of marker, will the condition be same like him ?

Here's 2 writeups on dry brushing:

http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/howto/drybrush.htm

http://www.seekingsolis.co.uk/miniatures/drybrush.htm

Basically, what it is is when you dip a paint brush into paint (no thinning), then wipe the paint off the brush. Wipe off as much as you can. Then you run the brush over the areas you want to dry brush. The little remaining paint left on the brush will stay onto the raises areas of the models. This is pretty useful for weathering, as it gives better control than spraying.

Don't think spray or marker will make any difference here, its the paint in the spray-can and the marker that would. What you can do is probly to spray onto some unwanted piece of plastic, then see what the results is like after a few days.

young_soul - Thanks for d tip, bro...will used top coat then

carpathia - That's an old Big Scale 1/60 tat i bought 8 years ago It's a Wing Zero not Version Ka or watsoever

it's been a looooong time i didnt post up anything in this thread.....

glad to see that more n more guys are serious in gunpla building n skill learning, rather than discuss where to get cheap gundam.....

n salute to thoseers' contribution in modeling technique.....especially those who really try out the technique n share.....

that's what this thread was originally for...

I even learned how to cheat in creating the weathered effect...try dampening a bit the area you want 'weathered' then spray with flat coat....voila!...heheheeheh...

WHOA!....what warning???? ....

see?...this is exactly my point why I need to read the comment....

Something about the wings on the MG Strike Freedom, and I heard one have to be careful that the wings are aligned AND be secure at the same time.

Don't worry, it will be reproduced like in July.

Bandai has already stated that it is not a one-time only release, but you have to be patient.

Just buy urself a normal version, more reasonable price and at least u dun get cheated by the few pieces of gold joint....
