hey guys,


Just wanna ask a question. I completed my Strike Freedom like early this year and paint it a bit using the Gundam Marker ( Beginner for painting ).

I am just wondering what will happen to the colour of the model, as I did not apply the topcoat after painting the gundam using the markers. ??

Trying to learn all about gundam painting. tongue.gif

Gonna get a Air Brush when I return back home. yawn.gif)

It is too late to apply the top coat when I return back home around Feb. ( the model is completed already with all the decals ).

One of the Strike Freedom Dragoon, I painted it with the blue marker and I didnt like it. I was noob enough to take a tissue to wipe the paint off, thats when all the lint stick onto the dragoon. Anyway I can recover this ?

thanks guys

O.o

lesson number 1) don't use tissue to wipe off the paint it may get worst so to recover tat problem use tinner and brush ^.^

lesson number 2) Maker is use to paint detail parts and small object and it not  made to paint the big parts especially thing wider than 1 or 2 inc object u may get the feeling to see all ur paint stroke from the maker pen.

lesson number 3) Always paint use hand brush or AB with a mile tinner or simaliry with tat other than tat depend on your skill.

lesson number 4) repeat leasson 1 to 3 ^.^ and u are doing good

hey Chris,

thanks a lot mate. Just wondering as well, would your recommend I apply the Top Coat afte I recover my problem.

Like you said in lesson number 2, I realised there are lot of paint strokes..it looks really ugly. I might need to repaint the DRAGOON WINGS again.

You reckon I should apply the top coat after that?

cheers buddy.

hey guys,

Got a question. How do you actually remove the decals ?

I plan to refurbish ( tongue.gif ) my Freedom Gundam. Going to get some extra decals and re-do it again, cause that was my first MG and I pretty much a noob at it. Most of the decals are all falling apart.

Can someone please advise the best course of action.

thanks

hey guys,

i got a question, I just received my MG DESTINY EXTREME BURST MODE this morning.

I am a noob at painting and I do not want to spoil this beauty.

Any advice the experts can give ?? I only have the set of gundam markers and the lining markers.

I am definately going to use the lining markers, but for painting is it advisable to use the markers?

Do you reckon I should spray like mr TOPCOAT in the end , if I were to use the markers?

Does anybody know if DESTINY head , legs is white colour ?? It look like some sort of greyish colour.

Any advise will be highly appreciated.

Cheers

hey guys,

Got a question, I just got myself some decals from HLJ.

I just realised the instruction mention about dipping the decal into the water then use a cotton butt to push it on the plastic.

Just wondering, is this kind of decal different from those that comes with MG ( where you just cut and then apply pressure to stick it on the plastic )

thanks guys

cheers
