Haha I love how you painted the panels in Skygrasper's cockpit ;;

I actually use copic markers for painting small details XD but it only works when it's a darker color on top of a light one since it's not completely covering and kinda translucent. And I use a fine tipped permanent marker for the panel lining. Gunpla elitists would kill me if they knew XD

=D the panels are sooo detailed and awesome :D

Copic markers? I didn't think they'd stay on plastic.... and they're too precious to use on Gunpla I think XD

yeah, Gunpla elitists would have heart attack if they see how I put together Gunpla XDD

I thought I'd be laughed at if I told people that I used scissors on my first kit; I never realised that many people also used scissors when they first started out. XDD

Archangel looks awesome!! The only thing stopping me from getting the ships was the fact that they come unpainted. XD Otherwise, I'd probably get Minerva. I like how it turned out after you painted it, it looks so pretty and much better than if it was just all white. ♥

I also like how your second kit was a PG. XDDD Luckily, PG Skygrasper doesn't have unreachable prices. The details on the control boards made me squeal. *A* And aah, you painted the pilots too, and they look awesome. They must have taken really long to do - you have a lot of patience. XDD

And eeee, you have Eternal too!! Take pics of it!! XD Looks like you have a lot of backlog to finish too, do WIP posts of them when you start working on them. 8D ( ... )

Haha, most people I think just get the kits and not the tools, so they just use whatever's available, like scissors or craft knives XD

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to have to paint a lot of stuff.. at least with Gundams, some parts are in diff colour plastic, so it's still passable if you don't paint at all. Eternal is at parents' home, and still unpainted (and it's like dark pink plastic, so it'll be harder to paint than Archangel >__< )

Haha, yeah the Skygrasper didn't feel like a PG kit at all XD... and yeah it was hard to paint pilots, esp because it's hard to hold on to them when they're wet >___< I wish I had better paint that didn't look so blotchy X.x But yeah, PG has awesome details ^___ ( ... )
