I've decided that HG 1/144 Exia R2 will be the first gunpla which I'll panel-line. XD
Of course, that means that I won't be able to start until I get a good marker. ^^";; There're a lot of things I lack for proper gunpla building - tweezers, PARTS SEPARATOR, design knfe [?]...
All this while I've been building my plamodels with cutting pliers and my bare hands. )8 And when I need to separate parts, I either use my hands or a freaking metal ruler lmfao, which...I don't recommend frankly. DON'T USE METAL RULERS x_X And for stickers, I use my hands too, which often leads to stickers being misaligned and stuff. xD"; And this also means that all my previous kits have no panel lining and lots of nip marks. Un-photogenic material.
I don't think I'll ever have space or money to invest in airspray and all the fancy equipment for full-scale painting and other nice effects ahaha. XD But, hey, learning to panel line is a good start, yes? *o*";
So, gunpla builders, I'd like to know stuff about panel lining, especially erasing excess ink or mistakes. I've read up a few tutorials, and I'm planning to use Gundam Markers instead of paint, and I'm seeing this item called "Gundam Marker Remover". Is that Remover what I think it is? I've also been told that cotton wool + alcohol is effective in removing ink too, as long as you haven't painted your kit ahaha. How do you remove mistakes from panel lining?
I should drop by Hobby Art Gallery some time. |D"; So much for saving lmao. XD";
Psh, I still want a 1/100 Virtue too ;_; though it'll probably take up a huge part of the space I'm planning to create by clearing out the old figurines. Should put more stuff for sale too. T.T
Also, I was looking at Exia R2 and noting that they don't have any special gimmick for the studs at the bottom of its feet. In fact the studs are non-existent lmao. A part of me is hoping it means a 1/100 version, while another part of me is going NOOOOO. orz
Well, there's that International Tokyo Toy Show coming up. xD Apparently, the stuff from Shizuoka will probably be making appearances again - that's RD Regnant, MG Exia HG Gaddess and Re-Bons [and Heavy Weapons too, I think?]. But it's likely that new stuff may be unveiled, so I'm just going to keep an eye out. xD I'm still torn over whether I should display MG Exia as Exia or Exia Repair I ;_;
