oic...thx a lot guys...will try those method n c how? so after i apply those metal color paint then if i spray a light coat of gloss will it protect the shine from dull?

unfortunately, for metallic paint that needed to be buff, No.

in fact the moment u spray top coat on it (after u buff), immediately it turns dull.

Yea it's the Gundam Marker pen. But mine has been overnight and I could still wipe it off.

Will the ink run when I spray my top coat if it's not fully cured?

When I draw panel lines on the model, the ink seems to bleed on to the model, resulting in it looking much thicker than I would prefer. When I try to use a cotton bud to clean it up, it kind of smudges all over the place. I saw in this image of someone doing panel lines

Does anyone know what type of marker is being used? Right now I'm using the Gundam Marker (GM01) Or does anyone have another recommendation for doing panel lines?

Hey guys,

Newbie here. I have a question and I don't think I can go through all 30 pages looking for it so please excuse me.

My PG Strike is a little loose at the hip joint and will always bend backwards at the legs when I attach the striker pack. I heard from a friend that I could coat the leg joints with a few layers of liquid cement to tighten it a little. Any tips before I give it a try?

Thanks.

er ... do u "play" with your kit like masak-masak? twist here, move there all the time?

if u don't, i suggest since u r not going to change the pose nor playing with it in the future, do a fix pose. use extra thin cement, or even super glue (a little bit enuf) on the joint. u will find the joint darn hard until u break the plastic also it wont move.

if u like to play with your kit, i really dun know any way to prevent and  maintain.

if u just need to move it a few times, mebbe to take photo, then u can try add a little clear in the joint. dilute hte paint, just like doing panel line. it will make the joint tougher. but still cannot tahan masak-masak time

obviously those markers are meant for highlighting/painting small portions only.. if u use to paint whole thing sure ugly la..

did u ever read the pinned tutorial thread?
