QUOTE(evanrue @ Dec 14 2008, 03:03 AM) ive used only the one size, the fine tip one (back when i was building the Wing Zero Custom)... usually when u buy the Gundam markers in a set (of 6),one of the marker is the fine-tipped one, for panel lining thanks for the info. today i went to xl shop at mid valley. i asked the boss got gundam marker. he asking me which model. then i said used for  check this forum by one of our forum staff jhcj: panel-lining ..scroll down to post #11 for the panel-lining tutorial.. hope it helps and do show us the results on ur VF-25 bro! macross vf-25. he replied that one sold out already. he was so busy there, so i dint ask much. i wonder got any differences between gundam and macross  ? i tot both also model kit. yeah, after gather and understand well, will start my project. cant wait to see the final result  |

QUOTE(Turtlez84 @ Dec 20 2008, 07:15 PM) waaaaaa u so fast build eh, i finish d, but when transfor to plane not perfect la, hahaha, still struggling to put water slide decals, first time doin it. LOL haha, not fast lo. it took me about a week to finished it. yeah,i still learning how to apply those water decal. wow this exclusive clear figure aint not bad. but i think the building steps would be al ot harder because need to cut those parts carefully or else uneven edges will be very obvious as it cannot cover by paint.Anyway, good job, n nice highlighting  |

nice job artakus01 and khaiboon . may i knw what type of sticker you used? was it water decal? for my kit, i still havnt apply any yet. if let say if i use water decal. after sticked and it dried up, can i still put water on top and slowly peel it off to adjust/re-apply again? i must admit that model kit 1/72 is very very fragile. i have tried posing him on gerwalk, but the knee joints seem not strong enough to support the upper body. i think is better get a stand. |

QUOTE(dishwasher @ Jan 6 2009, 02:27 PM) I wouldn't try to reapply the water decals if I were you. Once they conform to the kit they kinda become like a membrane, especially if you use decal solution. Chances are they will break. is a lot better now after i dismantled and assembled the knee area I don't seem to have a weak knee joint problem. I've only preassembled mine but in gerwalk mode I can pose it standing up. I did already cement the inner frame tho so it may be tighter, hence holds on better. Mine's now disassembled again and waiting for priming etc. Can't wait to finish it with decals and all. Amazing looking kit.  . i started using water decal already. actually is not that hard once you have try it. just dip the decal in water for 3-second, then use cotton bud to move it at the specific area. needless to worry about decal will tear in pieces because once it has water, it is quite easy for you to move around |

1/100 figure looks top notch also. but sadly too many parts swapping during the transformations. i dont think is a good idea for model kit keep on parts attach and detach. tentatively when this figure out? |
