Now that I have built my first Gundam (HG Ez8), the phrase "use Gundam for Mental Health" Really freaking hits home. I had no idea how focused I would be and the sheer serenity that I felt while building. I'm absolutely in love with it and can't wait for my HG Gouf Custom to come, tomorrow, to go along with the Ez8. Have a sub, bro. Never Stop Building!
Hey, thank you so much. I am so glad my message resonated with you. It really is an awesome feeling getting a chance to focus on something positive rather than negative for a period of time. I appreciate the sub and if you need any help, don't ever be afraid to ask. 😁😁😁
I used to collect gundam action figures and a few model kits 20 years ago as a kid. I just bought my first model kit in two decades about a month ago and it was the Ez8 as well haha. Now I’m back addicted and have the RG Char’s Zaku II the HG Origin Char’s zaku the HG Origin RX-78 the HG MK II Gundam and now I have the RG Tallgeese EW and HI-NU Gundam waiting to assemble. One thing I’ve learned is look at the release date on real grades and try to get more recent kits. The RG Zakus are beautiful but fall apart every time you look at them lol.
Thank you heaps! I just got my first ver ka and wanted to put some extra effort in with gundam markers but had no clue which to get and how to use them. This helped me heaps!
I am not customizing Gundams ( I customize GI Joe Classified and Marvel Legends type figures.) But I am watching a lot of tutorials, including this one, to figure out how to start customizing again after years of not touching a brush. I think this might be quite useful for detail work on Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified. So Thank you for doing this tutorial.
YO!!! I absolutely LOVE this! Taking an idea from another hobby to add it to your own! That's what I love so much about being able to share my knowledge. Thank you so much for this! Reading this comment made my day. 😁😁😁
My good friend got me my first gundam for Christmas, an entry grade RX-78-2! Was always intrested in getting into gundams and this was a fun little build that definitely has me hooked (ive already ordered 3 HG models that are otw lol) and wanting to dip my toes into the detailing side of these kits and i just took all that to say your video was very helpful in giving me some techniques to start, thanks lol
Hey Eddie! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'd like to also say, WELCOME TO THE GUNPLA FAMILY!!!! I hope you continue to grow and enjoy the hobby for all it can do for you and if you have any questions in the future, do not hesitate to reach out. 😁
Wow. I'm honored you guys. Thank you so much. After this airbrush series, I'm gonna get back to a few MH videos. Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me.
I just found out about Gundam markers, came here and searched "how to use a Gundam marker" and your video number 1. Subed immediately after hearing "using Gundam kits to improve overall mental health"; the exact reason why I bought my two kits. Finished my Heavyarms build, Wing Zero is on the way along with the markers!
Hey Tom. Thank you so much! I am truly honored. 😁 I'm glad you found my channel and hope this video was helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask! Best of luck to you on the Wing Zero. 😁
Thanks for these tips! i've been struggling with all the panel lining errors. And as it turns out, the solution is only on my pencil case the whole time!
@@PlamoTherapist Totally! All I’ve been seeing are complicated solution such as swabbing and using other compounds. But the eraser truly does the trick. 😁
I am an armor modeler and I recently couldn't resist buying the RX-78-2 PG Unleashed... slight panic! Armor mistakes are "battledamage" or covered up with a tarp or mud... Thanks for showing how to use the markers (and most importantly: how to clean them up!)
Hey! Welcome to the Gunpla family. 😁 Some of the coolest builds come from armor modelers, and I'll bet you could figure out how to get some sweet battle damage on your Gunpla Kits. Thanks for stopping by and best of luck on all your future builds. 😁
Silicone paint brushes are freaking amazing for cleaning panel lines. They're like five dollars at hobby lobby and you get SOOO much more fine control. Dip em in thinner and they are amazing for non defined lines.
Hey, that's a great option. I recommend the eraser because most people probably have one lying around the house 😁 AND doesn't require anything else. I'll have to look into it for my Tamiya liner though!
Hey bro, just came across your channel and you’ve helped me make my decision. I finished my first gunpla (red astray flame) a while ago but never panel lined, time to change that! Earned a sub ❤
Hey Dill, thank you so much! I am glad you found the video informative and inspiring to make you take the leap into panel lining. 😁 I appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment, AND sub. If you have any questions or need any help, don't be afraid to reach out or comment again. 😁 Best of luck!
I feel that they even each other out. The Gundam marker you make a few passes in the seams. The other one you make some dots to let the ink run, which is faster, but then you have to go back and erase/clean-up the dots, so you're just using the extra time to erase instead of going back over the lines a few more times. In the end, it's a wash.
2 months deep and i ended up getting most of the witch from mercury HD set and then last week got an HD psycho Zaku Ver Ka. For me this hobby is all about being in the moment with you the model and maybe some lofi jazzhop.
You should try a liquid Chrome marker(pourt-type)especially for raised detail lines, and indent lines, Piping or tubes, ect. It looks super badass. (Gold liquid paint pens are legit too)
I'll do one better! Check out the Hobby Mio markers! They're water based making them so much easier to clean up than alcohol based markers. Check out the video below! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BgfVPYh4GWg.html
@@PlamoTherapist Yeah, I started discussing my personal mental health issues on my podcast and was thrilled to have listeners reach out and talk about discussing their own now. Gotta get it out there.
That's awesome dude. I love when people talk about their issues. It takes them and makes them less daunting and more normal. And normalizing the conversation isn't airing out our dirty laundry, it's letting people know that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. 😁
Baught the fine tip for my Tau instead of the Tomy panel liner fill. Works wonders. Everyone says GUNDAMN that's a lot of robots when I play Tau so I figured...why not.
Haha. I know it's so bad! 😆 I'm working on slowing down. Thank you so much for your feedback. Please come back and let me know if I'm doing better. I really want to make this channel an enjoyable experience.
I got my first set of markers coming in hopefully by tomorrow. I actually got them to customize my Ninja turtle figures but I'll be getting my favorite Gundam, Heavy Arms, soon too.
If you REALLY want to have fun customizing your turtles and gundam kits, check THESE markers out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BgfVPYh4GWg.html
You got this! Take it slow and just panel line as you go and before you know it. The whole kit will be panel lined once assembled! 😁 Thank you for watching and commenting!
Transformers?! Blasphemy! 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside, I'm glad you found it helpful! I have been wanting to nab a transformer kit for a while. Just waiting for one to catch my attention. 😁 What kits are you planning on using this for?
Damn just built my first gunpla rx-78-2 the origin 1/144 and i thought the lines were indicators for sticker lol 😂 now i know they are there for the markers
Hey John, welcome to the Gunpla family! 😁 It's hard to beat how natural the marker types feel. Both are great to add to your toolbox, but if I had to choose one or the other, I would choose the marker type too. Best of luck on all your builds and don't be afraid to reach out with questions! 😁
@@PlamoTherapist I know this aint part of the context of the video but I was wondering on where sanding the nubs can damage the paint of the parts. Do you have any techniques or have a video of it?
Hey man, don't worry. Ask away! I'm the type to forget to ask later😆, so don't ever feel like you can't ask. As for sanding nubs. That should be done before paint and even before primer goes down. If you're talking about the color of the plastic, I can for sure do a video on that. 😁 But to answer nyour question now, I start at about 600 grit and work my way up to 2500. So 600, then 800, them 1000, then 2500. I'll usually stop here because I'll paint from here, but if you want to get that original plastic shine back. I hear the Gunprimer Balancer grey then white does the trick. I haven't had the opportunity to use them myself, but maybe some other awesome creators can give you their insights. I know AO Mecha has them and I think he has a review. Go check him out, and best of luck to you! 😁
I am truly honored man. Thank you 😊 I just want to be the guy I wish I had when I got started. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to reach out and I'll do my best to answer. If you got an IG, let me know so I can see what you build! 😁
Thanks man! I have a pour one and noone i talk to seems to have my problem with ink gushing out lmao makes sense now if they only used the fine tip type
Hey Jake! Glad I could clear up the confusion. I was doing the exact same thing for the longest time until I did some research. 🤣 Best of luck with the new found knowledge!
Dude thanks for the info this is so awesome advice this will help me with a Gundam kit I got for my Birthday it’s a Real Grade Wing Gumdam again thanks for the tutorial you rock 🤘🤘
Hey Aura Knight, thank you so much and Happy Birthday! 😁 Check back in the next week or so as I'm doing a video on paint markers for details that I think would be awesome and just in time for when you finish your RG wing. 😁 Thanks again and happy building!
@@PlamoTherapist I will check back that sounds interesting it’s Ive build up 2 Kamen Rider Figure Rise kits a while ago & there some parts I wanna try & paint I tried b4 with some color markers not Gundam types & that sadly backfired I’ve managed to clean the mess off but boy was I embarrassed 😞
Nice tip bro I didn't know that about the eraser technic I Alway use my thumb as eraser 😜but I'll try it your technic later thumbs up for this informative video
Hey Jeffrey! Glad you liked the video. While the eraser method is awesome, it's hard to beat free 🤣. Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch my video! 😁
Wow im barely getting to some of your older videos and I did not know about the erasers I have the paint thinners but since it was a bit of a hassle to get them I might use the erasers because of my kiddos I have a drawers full of them thanks you for the trick
Hey man, thanks for going back through the library. 😁 It means a lot to me. Keep in mind, this trick is for unpainted kits as the rubbing motion can take some of the paint off if you're not careful.
So, to be clear. Is this typically done while the pieces aren't removed from those sheet things yet? And is it done on all of those lines? And what about black vs. gray vs. brown and which to use when?
Hey there! Great question! If you are using the Tamiya panel liner jar, people generally recommend panel lining while still attached to the runner to minimize potential damage. If you are using the markers, it comes down to preference. As for black vs grey. That comes down to preference. If you like a more "gritty" high-contrast look like Iron blooded orphans, black works well for all colors. If you want softer panel separation, use grey. Brown does the same thing as grey, but for the softer look on the yellow. You can also use it for a weathered build to make it a bit dirtier. I hope this answers you questions and wish you the best of luck! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. 😁
@@PlamoTherapist I’m a super newbie to Gunpla, Just bought my first kit and tools Today. Decided to go with the RX-78-02 Gundam The Origin Ver. HG. I’m a huge fan of the look of the classic Gundam‘s and this one seemed really good.
Kinda related question but not really. Bought a Figure Rise of a Kamen Rider some weeks ago and i was wondering if i could replace gundam markers for other high quality fine point markers or if there is something that makes gundam markers really special, especially since i can't seem to find markers for other colors like green or blue
Hey there! Great question! You can use any brand markers you want, but just be sure to test it out on a runner tab as to not risk damaging the plastic. I would recommend starting with alcohol based pens since that's what Gundam markers are. For future reference, if you paint your kits and need different color panel liners. You can also make panel liner by thinning down oil paints. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Hey there. You can absolutely panel line as a beginner without painting! These markers are designed for bare plastic so you can panel line as soon as you get them. 😁 Have fun and best of luck on your builds. 😁
@@PlamoTherapist thank you I just built my first one today it was a Zaku II revive. But I went and purchased Helios, Barbatos Lupus, Gouf custom, Zaku II red comet and RX-78-2 . Idk which to build next I also picked up one RG but I'm saving that until after.
THAT'S AWESOME! How did you feel after finishing that first one? I remember my first kit and I still have it on my shelf. 😁😁😁 All of those kits are gonna be fun. Welcome to the family, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
@@PlamoTherapist I lfelt proud even though I had white marks everywhere bcuz I used nail clipper lol I'm still proud and happy with it. I definitely will contact you for help and subbed.
I appreciate it man. And don't worry, you'll learn and catch on fast. Even with Nail clippers, you can still enjoy this hobby. It's about having fun and being proud of the work you've accomplished. When you're ready to try or lean something new, RU-vid will be here for you. 😁
Do the gundam maker(fine tip not pour) eat ABS plastic or not? (First time going to panel line not fan of Tamiya accent and the pour type gundam marker especially the smell too)
Hey there! Great Question! From my experience, I haven't had any ill-effects on ABS plastic with the fine-tip markers, but you can always test it on a runner to be certain before applying it to your kits. I hope this answers your question, and I wish you the best of luck!
Great video- really informative. I’d cut down on the hand over the camera transitions though. You have too many of those types of transitions. Once or twice in a video is enough 😅
Hey man, thank you so much for the feedback! I'm learning more editing and good film habits, so I will work on adding different transitions into my videos. Thank you for stopping by, and I promise to work on making a more enjoyable viewing experience. 😁
Can you use these markers for something other than detail work? For example, I have a Jegan that I would like to recolor the entire suit. Can I use these to color the entire model?
Hey T Burt! Great question! Technically you COULD paint a whole kit, but you run the risk of having streaks in your paint because of how quickly the markers dry. If markers are your only option, then my best suggestion would be to pool a bit on the piece and brush it around as evenly and quickly as possible. Personally I would recommend dedicated paints and a brush if you want to stick to hand painting. If you need any guidance on that, check out Millennial Model Mayhem for AWESOME hand-painted Gunpla content. 😁 Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I wish you the best of luck!
Hi I just found your video. And I tride the high polymer eraser. due to I was having a problem using the gundam eraser pen. with the clean up I tend to Put to much on and taking it all off. So after I seen this video I went and got some. And it works. Still need to becareful when erasing I think it still could take out the ink from the lines. thanks for this video I have a few questions. do you have to clean the high polymer eraser after each use and if so how. And would the tamiya eraser liquid work on gumdam pour Type markers
Hey there! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, if you press too hard, you might remove some ink in the panel lines so it takes a little finesse. As for cleaning the eraser, the easiest way is to just rub the eraser on some paper until the ink is gone, but I like the sharp corners so I'll usually just cut off a small slice for some fresh rubber. Finally, I am not sure about the eraser fluid as I haven't seen it myself, but I'm guessing it's probably alcohol based and most likely should work. If it's not alcohol, then I can't guarantee that it'll work. Best of luck and thanks again for watching. 😁😁😁
Dude I honestly like your tutorial vids and it really helps like A LOT. But you really talk fast idk if that's how you really talk, and I hope this wouldn't come out as a rude comment I'm just saying my opinion. Nonetheless your tutorial vids really helps and I appreacite you for making this kind of content!! Keep it up with the good work my guy, and hoping to see some improvements too!!!
Hey man. Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. This has been an ongoing challenge for me on my channel and I do go a bit fast as I get excited about topics. 🤣 I'll tone it back a bit for the next video in the tutorial. 😁 Thank you so much and I hope to see you next time. 😁
Hey, great question! It's really up to you. If you want a more "earthy" look, use a dark brown. If you want a "gritty/edgy" feel like IBO, use black for everything. It creates much harder edges and higher contrast. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you. 😁
I was using a Gundam Pour Type Marker and trying to erase the little dots using that exact eraser you're using and it takes a very long time to erase the dot meanwhile your eraser gets rid of it in no time at all. Is the Gundam Pour Marker different compared to the one you're using?
Hey there! I'm sorry you're having trouble. The marker I'm using is by the same company that makes the Gundam Markers. The only reason it looks different is because it came in the Mr. Hobby Basic Tool set. However, I will say that this is the oil based marker, not the alcohol based one. Mr Hobby has two versions of the pour marker. If your marker is the alcohol based one, they could explain the issue. Can you tell witch marker you have? If you're unsure, give it a shake. The alcohol markers will have a ball while the oil one doesn't. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Hmm. I would be happy to look more into it. Do you have Instagram? If you send me a picture of both the eraser and marker there I can give you a more accurate response. If not, you can also email me at plamotherapist@gmail.com and I can take a look that way as well. Look forward to hearing from you and hopefully clear things up!
@@PlamoTherapist this is true, I’ll definitely try both out, I’ve always admired the Gundam models as a fan of anime since the early 90’s but have just ordered my first, the MG Barbatos it’s coming tomorrow. Excited 😆
Haha. Was it the speed talking? 😆 Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it! If you have an Instagram for your builds, let me know, I'd love to follow! 😁
I’m sorry how do you spell the other marker? The one that bleeds into the panel lines. For some reason I can’t make out what you are saying when you pronounce it. Thanks
Hey there. I am sorry, I was nervous as I was still new to RU-vid. The second type of marker is a pour-type marker. The one I am using is a non-branded marker by Mr. Hobby. I'll leave a link below to the official gundam brand ones if you would like to check it out! amzn.to/3xaEcr9 Full Disclosure, this is an amazon affiliate link. Any purchases you may make could help me with a small commission. Thank you for your support and checking out my video! 😁
As a newbie i'm finding answers if mr. Super clear can be use over gundam marker EX. I really want to paint my kit using gundam marker and use a mr super clear as a top coat cuz i think its more neat than the regular mr hobby top coat. I've searched a lot and others said it can be use over gundam markers but some said its not cuz super clear is lacquer base. Hope someone answer.
Hey Kenneth! You can absolutely use Super clear over markers, but just a few things to keep in mind first. 1. Make sure the marker is completely cured before going over it with your lacquer paint. 2. Start with a light, misty coat and let that dry for a minute or two before doing your full coverage. This will prevent you from oversaturating the piece causing the paint to bleed. 3. Lacquers are safe to layer over any paint, the most important factor is allowing the paints to fill cure before adding your next layer. Keep this rule in mind for any future projects and you'll be just fine. 😁 Hope this answers your question and best of luck!
Hey Joey. I tried to find out exactly what they use, but I wasn't able to get an answer that I trust. What I will say is that it is some sort of alcohol based paint (I THINK it's a paint, not an ink). If you are not painting your kits, you might be able to get away with using inks, but I will suggest testing it on a runner as inks can stain the plastic unlike the Gundam Markers. Hope this helps and thank you for watching and commenting. 😁
Hey good question. The eraser will not work with the enamel fluid. You can use enamel thinner and a cotton bud for that. My go to thinner is the Mr. Weathering Solvent. 😁 Thank you for stopping by, and best of luck.
Hey, great question! If you want a darker, grittier vibe like Iron Blooded Orphans, you can still use black over pink. If you want softer tones, you can use the brown markers. 😁 Hope this helps and best of luck!
Hey there! Great question! If you're using markers these will work best on bare plastic/ unpainted builds. If you are planning to paint, I recommend using Tamiya liner after you paint and top-coat. Hope this answers your question and wish you the best of luck!
Will you be doing a video on scribing soon? Im looking to get into it but i dont really have alot of experience building. Ive really only built 5 kits so far and ive been really enjoying this hobby.
Hey there! I haven't made one yet because honestly I'm not comfortable enough myself with scribing 😅 But if that's something people want, I'll be happy to share what I know as best as I can. I will practice more diligently to get it out there. 😁
A regular eraser COULD work, but you risk scuffing the plastic and leaving other marks. If you have nothing else, it could work, but I recommend the plastic eraser.
Hey dude. If the marker is the draw type and it is still new, try just using it on a sheet of paper. If that doesn't work, give it a good shake and repeat on the paper. There are other recommendations, but I haven't tried any of them myself. If your marker is the pour type, put the marker face down on the tip and pump it until it releases ink again. Best of luck to you!
I haven't heard it or tried it myself. The ink is alcohol based I believe, so water may affect the ink inside. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you decide to go this route, please be careful.
Hey great question! The GM300 was designed specifically for cleaning panel lines. It will definitely work better than the eraser, but if you happen to run dry, it'll be a good idea to keep an eraser handy. 😁 Hope this answers your question and best of luck!
Hey Ford! I would actually advise against this. While yes it is possible, there's a better alternative which is the Tamiya Panel liner which is the equivalent of an enamel pinwash. The reason being is that the markers not only do not go on nicely compared to bare plastic, but the removal of any excess runs the risk of damaging your paint. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for stopping by!
Hey Ford! I'd love to! Would you mind elaborating on the things you'd like to see? I am currently working on a project and can totally incorporate these things into that video. Let me know! 😁
New to Gundam kits; with the gundam markers, how do you match up the marker to the actual color of the plastic piece? I want to re-color some pieces from where I sanded, so I want to use the marker that matches that piece, but I don't see how you match the marker to that plastic color. In the instructions there's the color guide, but I don't see a number that corresponds to a marker, like GM40 for X color, just something like "white 75% blue 25%". The kit I'm working on and wanting the markers for is the MG Gundam Seed Gunner Zaku Warrior specifically.
Hey Hans, the color recommendations on Gundam manuals are for paints, not markers. Unfortunately there is no 1-to-1 marker to plastic comparison. If you want to prevent discoloration, look into the Gunprimer sets. If you want to correct discoloration, try scratching it with your nails or grab some melamine sponges. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Kind of not related to the video but is it ok to paint a big area using a Gundam Marker? I've seen people say that the paint will look ugly on big areas. Asking this because I need something to color the yellow pieces of the MG Barbatos...
Hey there! Thank you for the questions! If we're talking about the Gundam-Brand markers, I would say no. The Gundam markers are alcohol based so they tend to dry very quickly which is not good for painting large areas. However, those Mio markers will be absolutely perfect for the job! Those are water based so they take a little longer to dry meaning less chance of brush strokes appearing in your paint. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Hey! Great question. If I had to choose only one, I'd go with black. Aside from really dark pieces black can be used on basically all other pieces and still look good. Keep in mind, panel lines are supposed to represent separation in armor and black will look more natural on more colors than grey will. Hope this answers your question and best of luck to you! 😁
Hey, great question! Plastic erasers are the only thing that I know to work effectively. While other erasers might work, I wouldn't guarantee it like these Pentel erasers or any other white plastic erasers.
Hey Frank! Unfortunately this will NOT work with Tamiya Panel Accent colors. However, there are a few things you can use for that. My favorite has been Mr. Weathering Solvent, but anything that is dedicated for enamel paints will work. Hope this helps. 😁
Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that dude. Did you let the marker dry completely first? If not, that can be what's causing the smearing. As for the pieces that have smears, you can clean them up with a bit of Isopropyl Alcohol and try again. Hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.
I just recently got into gunpla and am slowly working on my first kit, an MG Exia. I was thinking of attempting to panel line it when I finish and wanted to try both the fine tip markers and the pour type markers, at some point. I have only gotten as far as building the torso of the kit. I heard that for the pour type gundam markers, you shouldn't use it on abs plastic parts, because it will eat away the plastic. How exactly would I know what parts are safe to use the pour type marker on? I have a set of the fine tip arriving soon. I haven't heard anything about those not being usable on specific parts. Brand new to this, so insight/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hey man, thanks for the AWESOME question! 😁 The Gundam makers are alcohol based and I haven't had any issues using it on any type of plastic. What people usually use for panel liner is the Tamiya panel liner bottles which are enamel based and can make the plastic brittle. If you are ever unsure about how any product will affect the plastic, you can always test whatever you're using on the runner tabs and see how it reacts. Best of luck to you, and if you have an IG, let me know so I can see the finished build! 😁 I haven't built my Exia yet, but I got plans for it! 😁😁😁
@@PlamoTherapist Thanks man. I appreciate the response and the content you provided. I started with a digimon kit first, to get a hang of cutting out the parts and using the hobby knife. Then I began Exia and have four kits in backlog, as well as some more on the way. Two other kits are Exia variants (Qan[t] Full Saber and the Seven Sword). I don't upload much to my IG, but I can definitely let you know when I eventually finish the snap build lol.
Woohoo! Welcome to the modeler family! 😆 I always love to see everyone's work because I love to see how many people enjoy the hobby, and I love seeing how we can connect in so many different ways. Whether or not you post your builds, as long as you have fun with it, that's all that matters to me. 😁
Hey there! I am honestly not sure, but I've done a few high grades and master grades with one over the past few years and it's still going strong. They'll definitely last quite a while before going out on you, but I don't know exactly how long because it'll depend on the kits. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but best of luck!
Hey Mathew! This piece is the skirt armor of the HG Hi-Nu VRABE. This piece is not painted as the Gundam Markers are designed and better suited for bare plastic.
@@PlamoTherapist I have watched some Gundam videos but never really paid attention to whether or not the model was painted after the marker was used. I just assumed that it wasn't because i think(total guess) that the marker panel lines would be non existent to the eye after paint went over it. Thanks for the reply! Keep up the good work!
Hey Matthew! Thank you so much. And in terms of using these markers on a painted kit, I know they don't work as well because I tried it myself. 😆 While it CAN be used on a kit with a matte top-coat, the problem is that it no longer can be cleaned up with just an eraser and will need extra supplies to get it out. Hope this helps and best of luck to you! 😁
