I'm not at the point to apply decals yet but any tips for the water slides?

How do you guys prevent wiping off the ink in the panel lines? Using q tips even with not a lot of alcohol takes off too much. I tried using a folded up paper towel and that seems to work a bit better.

I just bought some 91% and it works wonders. Maybe a little too well as it takes too much off if I'm not careful. How long do you guys let the ink dry before cleaning it up?

I've been using 50% alcohol. Lol.

Sharpie is alcohol soluble.

Actually it's been my experience that pretty much any marking you put on a model kit is going to dissolve to some level if wiped with alcohol. Especially paint markers.

I see. I have some dollar store brand alcohol and that doesn't really seem to do much. It just kind of smears the ink all over the place. I have the pour type Gundam marker and it doesn't like to work on paint surfaces as it just blobs at the point of application and doesn't run down the panel line. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Also what's the best way to go about getting replacement tabs for the beam sabers? Or am I pretty much SOL?

Since Gundam Marker is alcohol-based, you can use isopropyl alcohol to remove excess paint.

The sharpie paint markers I'm using is oil based.

Hey guys, what's an alternative to Gundam Paint Marker remover? http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZGM300/Sup

I have some oil based paint markers so would enamel thinner/ mineral spirits work?

I broken the tab on the standard beam saber!! :angry:

Can't wait to see it. Nu Ver.Ka looks fantastic painted and decaled up.

Yeah. I've been watching reviews and WIPs of this kit on Youtube and it's giving me a few ideas. This one guy used Sharpie paint markers to detail the inner frame and it looks amazing.

Personally I'm thinking about using magnets to hold the fin funnels and a custom LED setup for light up head.

So I started on the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. Progress will be slow because I don't have much time to work on it.

These are the colors I'll be using. Matt White, Silver Leaf, German Grey, Gun Metal, Light Gun Metal, Titanium Gold and Clear Red. All spoons primed with Tamiya Fine Grey primer. The Gold and Red are backed with the Silver Leaf. The red turned out nice but I don't like the gold. Came out too dark and not the bright yellowish gold that I want so I'll probably not use it. All the red parts of the kit and the Amuro base will be the metallic red. The frame will be a three maybe four tone scheme with Gun Metal, Light Gun Metal, Silver and Gold. The off white parts on the kit will be left primer grey. lol

Also bored out the head vulcans. Looks much better.

I hope Sam gets eaten.

At the GBWC 2015 Indonesia, a spotlight accidentally fell on a custom MG Gundam Amazing Red Warrior. The modeler was compensated with a PG Unicorn Gundam.

So if you want to make impressive battle damage, use a halogen spotlight.

That actually looks pretty good! lol

During the dock scene did anyone else noticed that the exploding arrow didn't do any damage to the guy that got shot with it but sent the other ghost flying?

Or is that arrow suppose to be non lethal and used to take out electrical panels?

When is season 2 of Daredevil suppose to start?

Unfortunately since I've moved to Georgia I haven't found a local hobby shop so I have to do all my purchasing online. I used to live in SoCal so hobby shops were relatively easy to find.

As far as US online retailers where do you guys buy your paints from?

I'm looking on Mega hobby's website and they list: Gold, Metallic Gold and Titanium Gold.

Which of the Tamiya spray Gold paint will give me a brass look?

It didn't make any sense to me.

I just started watching One Punch Man. It's hilarious.

Shame that Tallgeese II and III are P-Bandai exclusives.

That was not the video I intended to share. Not sure how I got the url mixed up.https://youtu.be/3AwgSuhv_lE

I've probably got about 8 kits including a PG Zeta in my mom's garage back in California. I've had the PG Zeta for over a decade and never got around to building it...

I just ordered the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. I haven't built a kit in over 4 years since I moved to a different state. Now I'm debating if I want to paint it or just panel line it.

Why didn't they go up the stairs?

They could have blown up or move more stuff to block the road leading out of the quarry.
