And that MSG blu-ray cover looks fucking outstanding.

That is a must buy. I am so glad I missed out on the DVDs Bandai released before they went bye bye.

I'm going to hold off on Turn A in hopes they bring it out to BD.

What do you get when you combine 13 television scripts into a nearly two hour movie? A very difficult movie to review.

Mobile Suit Gundam F91

You were unexpectedly kind to it.
I agree on most of the points, the animation is gorgeous, the beginning and ending battles are lovely and Eternal Wind is amazing.
Nothing changes the fact that it is a show squished into a movie.

Also...
Well... you know...

Since you already finished the boring part of this story...
Any interest in going all manga for the sequels and enjoy the awesomeness that is Crossbone?

It involves a space pirate Crossbone Vanguard, Cecily and Seabook getting proper closure and Zabine riding a motherfrigging Gundam.

Well the difficulty was more in trying to grade it.

If I can find it I'd love to read it and see how the story continues. I'd probably review it as well.

So I'm planning on doing my first ever custom project soon for a gunpla. With this project there is some painting that would have to be done. But having no knowledge of this world I do have some questions.

The main one being could I just use Gundam Markers for the painting? Would it be a good option for a beginner and would it be wise to use it for say the grayish/polycap like plastic for the joints and such? If not and I need actual paint, where do I get such paint? I'm thinking if I'd use real paint I'd want to use oil, so aside from the ventilation do I need to wear a mask or something?

Markers should be fine, and don't paint the polycaps.

Alright then. I didn't necessarily mean the polycaps. I mean like the parts for building the knees, elbows, and fists since they're kinda close to that plastic material that the polycaps have.

Also do I need to top coat the kit since I'd be using markers? And what of matte coating?

Top coating in theory protects the paint from scratching or wearing off, so it's definietly a good idea.

I tend not to paint polycaps since those are gonna be well hidden anyway.

For actual painting, GUndam markers actually aren't the best. You're better off investing in some good quality acrylic paint like Tamiya or Testors.

Alrighty then.

Well the thing is I'm not that great at painting, and since the project only requires a bit (some parts on the knees, torso, and shoulder pads with maybe a rifle or two) I don't know if I want to spend a lot of money when I'm not that great and just starting on models. So even though actual paint would probably be the best option in general, would markers make for a good way to start/practice since I'm not doing anything really huge?

Use markers. You're not doing a 100% repaint, so markers will be just fine.
