How to paint with Gundam Markers

Hello everyone, I'm I.R.O.

Today I would like to demonstrate how to use Gundam Markers. If you are just starting on this hobby and like to try painting, then I recommend Gundam Markers since they are easy to use.

I recommend markers if you are just building and painting gunpla for fun. I had tons of fun painting this head since it didn't take too much time to get the result I wanted!

this is what i want to see - i love how insane people can be with painting their gundam but i want mine to look good without having to airbrush every part before i assemble it. fully painting is just way too much work for me. knowing i can achieve something like this with markers feels a lot more accessible

[mikazukiblack]

Genius bastard. I didn’t even think of that brush soak up technique. That’s something I should of learned like ten kits ago

[Yurailgun]

FINALLY, just what I've been looking for. been wanting to add up detail in my gunpla, but there's not a lot of people doing tutorial handbrush with gundam marker

[mattmakes]

That’s amazing! Going to have to try this for sure.

Looking for tips since I'm starting to finally paint my kits (just back into building)... and the swab smear technique I've done already. Also some fine tip brushes for clean up as well.

Hi! I've got a HG Barbatos Lupus Rex and I'd like to replace the yellow stickers on the legs with paint, as well as to pain the claws on its hands. Since we're talking about yellow paint on red/dark grey plastic, would I need to apply some primer first, or can I use the markers directly?

This is my first ever gunpla, and I also have zero prior experience with model/miniature building.

Is it safe to top coat it using mr hobby gloss or flat? Ive seen others doing so on the acrylic markers, but im not sure if it can be used on real touch or alcohol based.

[chiuging]

i tried and failed like a noob with these markers because i keep smuding the paint. how long does it take for this paint to dry? is it better to put it next to a fan?:

Thanks I just got in to it and I need more information on how to and u showed me what to do

This video was incredibly helpful when i started using Gundam markers about 2 years ago, thank you. Though 1 question i probably should've asked someone beforehand, but recently I translated the Japanese text on a Gundam paint marker and it said that it'e best used in a ventilated environment. I know Gundam markers are alcohol paints so they shouldn't be dangerous to use indoors compared to Lacquer paints, but just to clarify is it okay for me to paint using Gundam markers inside my room? Thank you in advance and sorry if the question sounds dumb 😅

I have a few questions hand painting with gundam marker paint. I heard that the paint from GM can ruin the brushes and make them unusable after using it 1-2 times. Is that true? And also can I use isopropyl alcohol instead of lacquer thinner for wiping off paint off of the brush?

[Mr_MVerstappen]

Can i do it with small gundam eyes like RG and HG?

[MrSuperalan]

can you clean brush with isopropol alcohol instead?

[Megalodon.]

can black gundam marker paint over red plastic?

[jjuan]

could you use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the MARKER PAINT?

[DJRonnieG]

This makes sense but it makes me wonder, why even use a marker if we are using a brush after putting the ink into pallet cup?

[ramoncitomercader]

Do you need primer before applying gundam markers?

Very informative video :D Since it's my first time painting on kit so I choose marker to get the hang of it first:
- If I only use marker to paint my kit, will coating before hand or sanding help the marker to stay longer?
- What's your suggestion for markers from your experience? Dspiae and hobby mio caught my eyes with their chisel tip marker.
