My gunpla collection consist of only straight build with panel lining (using only one type of gundam marker) with some decal or sticker, but even so I can see improvement from the very first gunpla I made to the most current gunpla I made. To me ,the most enjoyable parts of gunpla-ing are the pride when looking at my fully assembled gunpla and playing around with it, wguke observing the evolution of gunpla technology. For those that had been gunpla-ing for a long time, I guess you must be fascinated with how technology advanced even in 10 years time ^^ Gunpla nowadays are more well proportionated, gone are those unnessary panel lining, more steady combination and more awesome gimmicks. Don't you guys agree?
Great kits man, a word of advice.
Even if you just do some panel line on the kits, try applying them a layer of topcoat, it keeps the decals protected and the gundam gets a great non-plastic finish.
cheers ! :D
thanks for your advice :D will try topcoat on my future kit
may i ask is this the correct way of topcoating gunpla? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIBWUBwtbs
Generally what i do is separate the gundam in parts (arms, torso, legs, etc) and spray them separately. to ensure that every piece is completely covered.
Now, to apply the top coat, is very much like painting, use small burts of the spraycan to avoid getting smudge shots from the can. also, dip the can in warm water for a minute or 2 before starting, to ensure that the spray is thin.
looking forward to see the results :D
