Question: im getting 3 model kits, and i have never built one. Is HGUC Jegan easy to build, cuz i figure its a good place to start.

[frow55]

@SilverSpades100 hmm That is a good start also older HGUC kits with less details have less smaller pieces aswell as the seed HG kits are good starter kits too.

[ZedKun]

I was wondering, could I battle damage a painted piece?

[frow55]

hhmm u could but it may not come out the same, its better to do the melting and stuff before you paint then add in the small details.

[imaqtlolz]

hmm geass sound track on a gundam vid is that ironic?

[frow55]

eh not really their both animes come from bandai, a zoids one would be more ironic.

im not trying to be annoying or naggy but when u put the nail on the fire u should do it out side because the stuff the put on nails so the dont rust can become poisines when there on a flame :./

[bardpado]

Nice techniques! Just a little warning:

Please do remove excess plastic on the nail or heat source before reheating it. Burnt plastic not only smells bad, it's also toxic and nauseous.

its silver sharpie right?

[KidsToon]

what if u dont have a nail

[TheTardkiller]

Could you do it with other sharpie colors as well, like brown or black? And if so how do you think it would come out?

[PhoenixJB96]

Thanks! Very Helpful, but next time you could have better lighting I guess.

I'll try this with my EW kits. they look a bit plain besides 00 and Seed Destiny kits even with deatiling

[mudvaynefan2182]

Using this method, what color sharpie would I use for a rust effect? So far I've only found gold and silver and I wasn't sure if the gold would be the right color to use.

[Tsukune42]

when your done burning it then you bliw on it and finally you brush it?

[Yeomanv10]

just a thing i've heard before, so what do you think, plausible or not.

use rough sandpaper to create shallow gashes in the armor, then apply graphite dust or a very thin (watered-down) paint to the armor, and wipe off the stuff that doesn't fall into the gashes.
