Here you go
Full size: https://i.imgur.com/LeHqryS.png The shoes are all stickers. I don't have a pink gundam marker yet, but when I get one, I'll probably replace the triangles on ankle parts. And after taking pictures of the belt, I realized there's some silver parts I missed, namely the frame around the "screen" (and they really should've been painted that before the sticker).

I use acrylic paints in an airbrush which generally requires me to repaint entire parts or mask off areas.

What you say about color seems a good idea, I think you can buy them individually, do you have any reference for those you mentionned ? Quote:
I think this is the scary part. People are afraid to mess up their kits. You cannot 100% undo the paint. But its easy to clean up and fix where you made some mistakes. Any kit that comes with extra parts, you can practice on those. Gundam kits often re-ruse runners so there are left over parts. I recommend buying a cheap SD kit for $5-10 and practice on that.

This is up to you. How often to you touch and play with the model kit? Once it is set, alcohol based paint is pretty sturdy. For detail paint, it's unlikely to come off. If you painted a large area, I recommend top coat spray to protect. https://smile.amazon.com/Tamiya-TS-8.../dp/B000ZVO3YS In general, top coat is a good way to protect all model kits and make any toy look better.

Plastic model kits from Bandai use all different kinds of plastic. Mostly ABS I believe. Bandai lists the plastic type on the outside of the box. There are a couple of ways to tell what kind of plastic it is https://www.wikihow.com/Identify-Abs-Plastic After working with a lot of kits, you can start to tell on your own. But most important, you should not use Gundam marker on joints or places of stress. There is a specific marker Gundam Marker GM22 200 that is popular for making joints look metallic- this one can break down plastic if you use too much. Any porous plastic will break down when any type of paint is introduced. This is where primer and top coats help. But again, I am only suggesting Gundam paint markers on details and small areas. I do not recommend to use them over large areas (greater than 4cm maybe?) because it won't look as clean as an airbrush. A friend that painted warhammer figurine told me to wash the plastic, to paint it with a special paint (gray, that act like a undercoat), then to repaint it (that means all the figure then) Is it the way ? or can I paint it directly ? I already wash plastic before mounting to try to remove oil so the stickers stick a bit longer (don't know if it really helps) Thanks for your answer ! Neoxul |

Gold = Gundam Marker GM04
Silver = Gundam Marker GM05 Black = Gundam Marker GM38 Airbrush is a lot more work. I do not recommend unless you want to repaint the whole model. Markers and paintbrush are better for just details. For warhammer figure, you have to use a primer (the undercoat which can be any color, but usually grey). That is because you paint those figures with acrylic based paint and that doesn't stick to plastic without the undercoat. Gundam marker are alcohol based so you can paint directly. This is why I think they are best for details. Washing does help. Newer model kits are better at being clean right out of the box. Old kits from the 80s and 90s had lots of oil on them. I always wash the runners if I plan to do a full repaint. Oil from your hands also interferes with paint and stickers.

Do you mean Zi-O, or are you referring to multiple figures?
