Can you tell the markers sucked though??? The more I look at it, the more I kinda think it looks ok.

Looks good on the camera, I'd probably have to be there to see whats wrong.

I know I haven't posted any new images, but recently I have purchased a huge model out of a Japanese website and should arrive in a week . Can't say what it is or it will spoil the surprise , but it will take a while and will cost all of my cunning and skills. So for a while I'll be busy, I know you are , and will post what I got later on.

Nice!!!!
I am on day 2 of my current project, and I have opted to use brush paints, so far so good.

Nothing works better than bsushes so far that I know, I wonder if model ink works, I've also just remembered I had a unfinished Altron Gundam Custom 1/100 a long time ago that needs some attention.

I always see it to buy, but I shy away from it because I have a feeling they are cheap. I could be totally wrong though.

I use ink on some WH models and most of them seem to be okay for me, just add a little water to it so it doesn't smear and won't make the model too dark. Probably use a little on the crevices and then wipe off.

Oh those markers, oh dude those are a must, but I use a pencil eraser to clean up my "oops" marks. It for some reason works extremely well, and has saved me from making piece ruining mistakes with a pen.

You could erase with a eraser? That would make things a lot easier, but with the new model coming up wouldn't be a good idea since it is shining thus would make it smear. I thought you said the markers weren't that great?

The actual black pens are good, but I was talking about those paint markers. I prefer to use a brush instead of the paint markers, and I only use a .01 black tip ink marker for detailing all the lines.

Well I finally got the model, took them forever and the shipping was way too expensive, glad the model was the only thing I needed from the store. The model is HUGE! Its gonna take me forever to build it, but its worth every penny and second.

Nice!!! Pic of the box would be kick ass, and as soon as my camera battery charges Ill up some picks of that Gundam Double X that I finished yesterday. I am going to start on a 1/100 HG Blitz Gundam (Seed Series) next.

Pretty pricey, I just remembered a long time ago a friend of mine had a Gundam Double X GFalcon unit model a long ago and had some problems. It turns out its not made from bandai, that is not the real problem but what is is that none of the parts could be put together. No matter how much force we put into the model none of the piece could go together. Make sure your models are Bandai! I finished the body today!

Here it is and I had no problems putting it together, just the usual dulling of the marker and paint runs, but I think it turned out ok. Yeah I was looking at that Sazabi, but it was pretty pricey. I want to start doing more master grade stuff, but most of the less popular Gundam models are never made in MG. Next up is ether a Blitz Gundam or Duel Gundam.

I love it, it looks very good, BRAVO. It looks a lot like Freedom Gundam with the Particle omega beam cannons on its shoulders. Now I'm thinking of getting the markers. I had to get Sazabi cause its one of my favorites and heard nothing but good things about the model. There are some MG from the X series but like you said there are only popular units for MG, which is why HG is Okay sometime but are less of a Challenge. Is that DX gundam a MG?

No its a HG as well, I couldn't find a single MG online!! I am going to pick up a Strike Gundam in 1/60 MG as soon as I get some good cash.

Actually the Double X is from After War Gundam X, not Crossbone Gundam (still a good manga though). Anyways, I hope this works, Here's my HG 1/100 scale of Gundam Kyrios More on the way!
