My love affair with gundam markers has ended. I can’t make the metallics look good with top coat.

Once I find the right color in real paint I will recoat and the panel line after topcoat

They will both pretty much be metallic versions of the original color scheme. If I change any colors on them it will only be for increased separation which is already pretty good on these kits.

I’m waiting on a metal frame and waterslides for my MG Altron and and I still have to finish painting and detailing MG Sandrock and FM Aerial. I’m waiting on a couple kits from P-Bandai too.

My last few kits have been from P-Bandai, but I’ve been using The Gundam Place Store for my supplies. Their shipping charges are comparable to other US based stores but they are about an hour from me so sometimes I pick up my orders in person when the wife wants to galavant on the weekends.

The metallic Gundam markers won’t look even unless you spray it. That why I was talking about the gm airbrush the other day. You can make it look good but the paint is very fragile. It chips easy and even rubs off when handling. It also changes in appearance with topcoat.

All the red on this is XGM03 marker sprayed with air
