Just got some nippers today. I was previously using a hobby knife to get the parts off and the difference is night and day

I honestly just used a pair of regular old scissors to cut the pieces off and some nailclippers to clip off the remaining parts of the tree.

Anyways noob question, could I actually just use Gundam markers to paint a kit? I'm thinking of buying the old 1/144 Heavyarms and customizing him color wise, with the Zeon marker set. I'm still a newb at all of this so yeah, don't have a clue if that would work or not.

I decided that if this job comes through I am buying, finally, Robot Spirits. Leo Space and Ares (Regular and Noin) specifically. I love me those OZ mobile suits. Now if I could just find me a Virgo.

I don't think so? I know people have used Gundam markers to cover up some mistakes from their nub marks or to fill in where a sticker would be covered by plastic. But not the entire kit.

I'm aware I can use them to add in missing colors and some touchup details, I'm just not sure if it would even be possible to use them for the entirety of the kit.

I know Vangelus used some on his Gosei Great minipla a few years ago, I heard his painted cracked immediately after his paint video but I don't know the quality of that toy brand's plastic is and what kinds of coat he used to cause that.

Been working on an original Gunpla/kitbash for the last little while:

That's looking pretty neat Kiryu.
