ic, then i will start with markers, and for the parts that we cut, ppl use sand paper to smooth it, the colour around that area will go off rite?
then to overcome it, paint it back?

let me explain to u.. b4 u get confuse
ppl who SAND their kits will paint their kits meaning will handpaint, AB it back to it's original color or their own custom colour...
If u're using marker then dun think sanding it...
After sanding, modellers will prime their kit to cover the scratches from the sanding....

Dee Ja vu..

the cut parts looks fugly, i use bandai cutter to cut it thr use small knife to smooth it but still there is scars on them coz of cutting..
Solutions?

gg .. 2molo im going buy gundam dynames as i like it in movie

beli jangan tak beli~ buy the GN-arms bcoz got some special weapon which not included in HG dynames/ but include in 1/100 Dynames

small knife? go get a design knife...Ofla brand is a good brand and easy to find...
solutions??? practice practice practice.... cut the nips from runner, cut out the extra then use design knife to slowly shave it.. there u go

movie? o.O series u mean...
dynames is a nice kit but i hate the upper part connecting to the lower part, look very cacat

oh ya.. got the gn armrs dynames @@" i almost forget does it been release ?

z3r0 ya... series...

1/100 OO gundams are way better then 1/100 Seed gundams.only exception maybe would be, red frame ah. blue frame... OKAY, but the sword is too big for its own good. hahaha. oh, and gold frame not bad also.

@emotion
dude! i was where u were just 2 months ago. be brave and just go for it. get the oo gundam marker set. those will be ur best friends til... well... til u outgrow them and get itchy for spray painting. hehehe

i will try my best!

just get the marker to touch up the minor2 detail... it will look nicer then use sticker...

actually you can sand your kits and not having the colour fade. That is what i do. Get a 4 sided finger nail buffer. When you sand make sure you change the roughness like sand with the rough ones first then slowly move on to the not so rough and goes on until the last one. You wont notice there are scratches or even colour fade

he means from a lower grit sand paper to a higher grit sand paper...

@emotion, i started doing gunplas again about four months ago so i do suppose i know where/what you're feeling right now.

a) If you have the budget of say around RM200 per month then go for handpainting at the very least. Some decent brushes, retarding thinner and colours do not cost that much. Some of the SD guys don't prime their kits nor do they topcoat. If you do want to do these additional steps then that'll set you back around RM35 per can. Cans do finish quite fast, expecially the surfacer.

b) If you have some spare cash and a little bit more to go around every month, go get an AB. If you are serious about the hobby that is. AB-ing is better than Sex! Well, nearly , either that or I'm not doing the sex bit right on account of old age Airbrusing will cost a little bit more as priming and topcoating is pretty much a must. You will end up getting decals etc And since you are already AB-ing you'll probably want to do some sanding and cementing too (i'm terribly noobish at this part ) - additional costs that can really add up. Despite it taking longer to complete individual kits, you will continue buying for sure, so you will end up with a stockpile of unassembled gunpla, unless if you have godly self control!

c) If you're on a budget or just want to get a feel of the hobby before making further investments, go get gundam markers. To be honest, although good beginner tools, they are not completely satisfying and can be a pain to use... not that cheap either as you need to get quite a fair few to get a decent selection of colours. I would recommend hand painting instead. Honest.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the help guys . i think i will start with marker first. if it wasnt satisfy me, then i will go to painting.

when i ready for AB-ing, i think i need to reassemble them back

Dogas... With the Sinanju lacking so much detail at such as high price, it's time for us to focus on CCA instead for Xmas.
