Hey guys, I was looking around and stumbled upon CrossBone X1 Full cloth. I really like the design....

I'm looking to get the MG. What do you guys think? Loose parts?

It does look nice (from the pics), I saw a few videos about the mantel blocking the articulation.

Now about cement, can you elaborate on this? Or do you mean clay?

I currently have a red frame astray and the left arm comes right off easily..

what do you guys do for loose parts? for now, I stuff the contact area with tissue lol

I did some digging and some said nail polish...

Also, I just saw the Unicorn PG.. so badass but everything seems too heavy for any action poses..

Hey guys, I'm sure this was shown in the Gunpla building 101 thread but it's a very old thread. So I'm wondering if there's any new technique or tools that you guys have to panel lining.

I recently bought a hobby kit from lazada (sanding strip, some tweezers, side cutter and a sakura micron 005 pen).

I started doing panel lining for a bit yesterday and it's too harsh on white so I gave up doing it on bright surfaces and focused on red part of my Red Frame Astray MG.

I rubbed off the excess after roughly applying the lining. It's decent but not even enough.

So I think I'm gonna stop using it. What do you guys use? Tamiya dip panel lining?

GSI, is that the normal Gundam branded markers?

I've read about gray on white. I've also tried mechanical pencil but it's dirty and it's usually not thin enough. Maybe I'll go buy a thinner mechanical pencil...

I'll give marker pens another try when I find a silver colored one... I'll also probably get the accent panel lining type to give it a shot

Did you used tamiya accent panel lining?

Why yours dried so fast. I left mine overnight and it's still not completely dry lol Are you using Gundam branded pen?

guys, anyone of you use makeup remover to rub off excess paint?

Or lighter fluid?

Oh.. I wanted to remove excess tamiya accent panel lining paint..

okok.. later i'll go walk around for the lighter fluid..AEON got or not ar?

thanks man. Also I started using Tamiya panel lining and it's actually harder than I thought. I used gray paint on whites and the inconsistency is really obvious. Eventhough I've shook the bottle for quite a while but it's still showing paint inconsistency

Glad I'm not alone. Not a fan of that feminine waist.............

I think if you don't enjoy the process of building a gundam and having the accomplishment feeling when it's complete, maybe gundam is not for you.

Maybe get metal build or something, IIRC, they come assembled?

do u guys only use gundam markers? anyone uses alternative markers?

If it's for panel lining, I have Gundam panel liner, Micron pen and Tamiya accent panel lining. I can say you need a combination of a pen and the Tamiya ones. Some parts just doesn't suit Tamiya dip type..

Any other good stuff? Going tomorrow
