I think i saw one at my place.
Other than sharpie, i think you can get a white paint marker from hardware shop.

any reliable brand, the kshatriya stickers is an eye sore to me, but i can't find any white marker to draw those line :/

another question...is it a must to reverse wash sinanju gold trim?
cant be execute with gold sharpie + zippo fluid?

reverse wash works like followed:

put stronger type paint like lacquer in gold color as a base
put weaker type paint like enamel in black color as top coat
use zippo or enamel thinner to wipe off the weaker enamel black that is reachable (for you case is the protruded gold marking) to wash off enamel black leaving the stronger lacquer gold color and the unreachable black remained.

so if you intend to improvise the reverse wash to other material or method main thing require is
1) a strong and another weaker type of paint that can be wash away without damaging the strong paint
2) a desired protruded surface that you can wash off with else you will ended up alternate weather effect

i mean if i use sharpie and then zippo to clean the excess instead of reverse wash, will it be achievable?

thats why need to know sharpie ink base and whether zippo is strong enough else need to try other thinners...

below are ways of removing sharpie but not sure suit your purpose here or not:

Respect and salute to the crafter.

wow 1/500 scales?

guys, ive been out of the gundam scene for some time, and just gotten a bit of money to buy a PG, was thinking of unicorn,GP01,astray or strike+backpack, wonder amongst these, which would you guys choose? i have the wong and mk2 PG already btw, looking to add another PG into my collection. cheers

get the recently released PG Banshee, the old PG Strike is one of best PG too
another one is PG Astray Red Frame but that kit is too bulky compared to Red Frame from other grade
in the end, just buy what you like most

gp01 - conversion gimmick with stand, nice to display and play around - must have for hardcore uc fans
strike rouge -for me its the best articulation pg just the color a bit no preferable for me
astray -most popular kit but the legs a bit too thick for my liking heard its the ori manga design - you can get tactical weapon aka the big sword from 3rd party maker is another added points
unicorn -its a stunning display unit with led, full armor option and that all there is, many claimed the articulation not as good for you to play around.

so the questions should be like:

which series you like the most? UC series? Wing Series? Seed series? or Astray?
Do you like articulation or display features? you want to play it occasionally or just put it on and pray on it like some ritual statue?

for me i would consider between unicorn and astray that have expansion options but go for gp01 if you want all in one package...

which ever the scale, the printing of the model kit boxes are stunning! you can see the details as if there were the real thing, really want to know the printer model!

thanks, i think ill go for GP01, since i UC fan haha

I had seen ppl do it with figma, nendoroid, with heaps of mini boxes, but really, gunpla in such a way is 1st time, other than the studio gundam building gundam version

well to further confirm the feeling you can always watch some youtube reviews to verify your judgement...

hard to imagine how its done since 1/144 grade hg for me already hands shaking on line scribing, decals printing and application...
