Go buy a book.

anyone using Gundam Marker GM01 Fine? they seems to dry up the moment you write it and impossible to rub off, only way is to scratch them off with hobby knife.

i read you're suppose to be able to use rubber eraser to wipe them off. but i feel they are ever harder to remove compare to normal paint.

is this normal or is my marker old stock?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Thing is I already have all the textbooks I need and I still haven't finished reading the books i got from the last Big Bad Wolf sale kinda went crazy and bought ~30-40 books so thought if anyone knew where they sold kits for bb1m at least I can complete my seed astray MG collection

Aim higher. Get books for the future.

Not sure whether your pen old stock or not, but my pen works fine, easily erasable in the first 30secs? I think. Just use thumb only. Usually mistakes, I use cotton buds with thinner, it gets the job done.

It definitely is not normal.

Sorry buddy, i don't think there is any though =\.

that only happen when you panel lining using that marker on top of painted/top coated surface. normal OOB surface, can easily removed with your thumb.

I tried on Lacquer Gloss Coat, seems it will dry up immediately, have to scratch it off but usually leaves a mess.

Then on painted surface, dries up immediately however easier to scratch off.

On a spoon, still dries up pretty quick but can still use eraser to remove it.

So you're saying Gundam Marker Oil are more for no-paint build? So for painted build other than enamel wash any good marker that can easily wipe clean?

Last time i used Water Based Gundam Marker on Acrylic painted surface, they seems to be pretty wet & can easily use tissue paper to wipe clean, i switch to oil based because water base don't have fine tips.

never tried on on acrylic surface before, since i only use lacquer based paint. and the result like you said it'll dry up immediately.

Since then, i only use that tamiya enamel for panel lining, easier to apply and wipe-off with zippo fluid.

you can probably try the real touch marker. As far as I know they are water based. They have 2 tip sizes, so should be able to use the finer one for panel lining.

do you really need to gloss coat b4 the panel lines? previously i did use the water base on acrylic paint without coat but i have painted this kit for long time now plan to panel line it.

i read few options like Artist Oil, Artist Ink where you wash them but also heard washing without top coat will cause the excess get absorbed but i'm not sure it happens on all types of wash or enamel? i'm looking for an option where you can easily wipe off excess on acrylic painted kits without top coats. since it's white i wanna play safe.

Most of the SD kits that I panel line before were painted with Mr Hobby Paints. Lacquer based. I did not spray a gloss coat before panel lining using the real touch marker.

I am not sure how the touch marker would react to acrylic paints.

Maybe just try on a non-obvious location first?

right now i only have medium tip water marker, would be expensive to just order 1 real type marker.

anyone tried milder method like Water Color? Will it stain acrylic paint without top coats?
