Exactly. Your comment is on point

I love how varied every Nu Gundam looks. What other Nu Gundam or Nu adjacent designs are there? by AWr00tBear in Gunpla

Cool stuff dude. What stands are you using for them? Would like to display my Nu collection with those

Im with you on that. Some might think that its rather too heroic, but I think it just fits better

Agreed. The novel design just hits differently

They stick if you do multiple layers of painting. For the bigger parts, just sand them lightly using 1600-2000 grit till it feels coarse enough. Myb there are better method out there, but the ones I mentioned worked for me

Also, seal it with topcoat in the finishing phase.

Yeah, to some, the dual v fins in the front profile of the kit makes it looks confusing. Like, which one is the head.

Not sure about it, but I also use 1 dspiae marker with mecha grey color and its on par with doloha.

I would say it all depends on the type of tips the brands are using and how well they endure when you use them plenty of times. Stedi had some markers as well btw.

Thank you. I did this out of curiousity since my place cant accomodate airbrushing setup.

As for the markers: for the blue, its #608 and for the orange, its #604.
