those master gundams most of the time never use lining markers..they use those enamel paint for the lining, but using this paint you need to make those line deep a bit with something sharp..like a compass sharp end..if you dont have those craft knife..
for those who just started gunpla..i do suggest that you just play around with just marker lining instead of jumping into painting straight..even how good your hand in painting on plain flat paper..painting a gundam is a different story already..you still can screw up ur expensive gundam.
painting a gundam till it looks so nice takes time..you need to practice and practice..then only you can get it right..not expect to have a great painting result on your first time building..
if you have no idea and first time building a gunpla..then forgot those sanding and puttying first..it can make your gundam worst later if in the middle process you dunno what else you wanna do or maybe you screw it already.
remember that sanding and putty means you need to color you gundam already as most of the time they leave stain and sratches.
for pre building your gundam and take it off all apart for painting..its better that you cut half all the male and female joint first..cause some parts, it just impossible to take it off back later on and maybe end up brake it. cut half the joint means you losen it and maybe you need to cement it before the final assembly..and this can skip the puttying process also.
for cutting those plastic from the runner..dont you playar please..hehe
if you can buy a gundam..im sure you can invest a bit more for the cutter..not saying to go ang get those rm80 tamiya cutter..the normal at hardware shop one will do good already.
i cannot think of any actual links or website that show how to build a gunpla from stage 1..i try to search before..and end up buying books about building gunpla last time..and its not cheap also..and somemore not in english
read and look the pictures only are not enough..whatever also you still need to trial and error with you gundams..lol
there is no easy way to learn something..hand on experience is the best..i screw almost 3 MG last time till i got it right..and my first HG last time i even pull the plastic with my bare hands from the runner..lol
try this link for gunpla building from some of the master gundams from japan
