thx for the website bro!! thers a lot of things where im looking for in that site! thx!

is there any fluorescent paint?
where got.. thinking on colouring pink saber..

pink saber can use gundam marker mah. Mark the ends and then 'bleed' the colour down the middle with the 'thinner/eraser' marker. Nicest and easiest way I've found so far.

get a spray tin lor...

got that fluorescent mode?

good idea! but i thought want to do handbrushing..
the thinner can dilute the spray paint or not? supposely can right?

u want opaque or tranparent. Gunze's acrylic has the transparent ones, and gunze's laquer has the opaque ones. in bottle, can handpaint.

well cover those area which u don wan the spray to get onto with masking tape and spray frm far nearer to the tip of the saber... then u will have a result something like this...

SIfus, if the gundam is black - i.e. the Blitz or the Strike Noir, do you apply panel lines on the black parts? Or do you spray a lesser shade of black and then panel line?

if gundam is black or dark color, we use another color to do panel lining like silver, white, etc..... but those colors dun come in gundam markers...
we use enamel paint for panel lining.

i wonder if there are silver techinical pens? enamel paint for panel lining seems way way above me level at the moment.

tat u nid to find urself...
but enamel lining isn't difficult at all, once u try it and u like it, u wun feel like goin back to gundam lining markers

Enamel lining is easy with large kits like 1/100 scale... but when it comes to 1/144... damn sweat lol. 1 small wipe with cotton bud, all the line gone lol... cuz the grooves for 1/144 kits are small... ( tiny a better word ? ) Hehe well just my opinion. Usually i paint my model black to avoid any panel lining... cuz black still look good without lining. ( i just posted my kit over at the Showoff/Progress page.. do check it out. )


Anyway, ive got a question... i dont really know how to use Mr. Mark Softer and mr mark setter eh... they dont seem to be doing any difference to my decals. Sumtimes when i apply mr mark SETTER to a spot before i put the waterslide decal, the decal just slide away eh... no adhesiveness AT ALL.

Any ideas or tips on using them ? Mr Mark softer also rarely do anything good. =_= Decals still easy to peel after applying it and letting it dry...

mr mark softer is for decals that are on top of gaps or holes so that the decal soften and go inside which looks natural...
Mr mark setter apply on green decals to melt it a bit but....
i use setter for my water slides, just 1 swipe then the setter goes under the water slide and melt it and it looks natural... dun over do it as it will melt the whole decals...
After applying decals, spray a layer of topcoat/superclear then it's all done but of cos if u're not careful, decals still can be scratch off

so apply water decal 1st or apply mr mark setter 1st cuz in some hobby maganize like dengeki hobby, they apply mr mark setter 1st then only apply the water decal de le... how come?

tat shud be the way u mentioned...
but i prefer my way, and i heard from some people they also do this way...

u see, if u apply setter then decal, the decal starts to melt and u nid to position ur decals fast if not it's too late and u're not able to position it ltr coz melt alr...
my way is to position it then apply setter, the setter goes under the decal, melting from bottom which takes away the air inside.... but it's up 2 u, u can try both ways and see which one suits u

I've completed an afro keroro - the metalic gold version. Do i now need to spray a layer of topcoat gloss to round things off or should i leave it as it is?

oh then ur method is after apply the decal then apply setter, then wipe the excess setter away softly with cotton bud?

yea..but i prefer put it away..let it dry normaly..if something happen wrongly..the decal with pecah...or spoil it :sweat:just rmb dun touch the wet decal once oredi apply setter..or else u will sad..

metalic gold ver??? got special ver meh???
it's better to topcoat it and dun touch it too much or it'll become dull

nope... just leave it to dry... becoz it's still wet, the cotton bud easily sticks on it resulting bulu decal..
just leave it, it'll dry very fast

basically as the name suggest: "setter" means it's something to help set your decal. so it should be underneath by theory. but what z3r0 mentioned is from his very own experience, so i guess that should be right too.

I tried softener before but never tried setter. will do so soon. so z3r0 you better dont bluff me...... i m going to try what u said
