WIP with my RG Wing Zero EW

WIP with my RG Wing Zero EW, Inner Frame done. I left out priming, because I did not want unnecessarily thick Inner Frame. I want to preserve Inner Frame to be moveable and thin. I used Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver as base color with two thin coats and one coat of pledge Floor Care as a top coat with additional protection. Pretty happy with the results xD

Decal application with Mr. Mark Softer & Setter

After I ordered some Decals from Amazon and SamuelDecal I wanted to try them for first time of course. This is not the best way how to do it, or tutorial how to applying them in best way. Just want to share my experience with Decal application for first time with you guys. Of course before first try I check various sources and choose optimal way for me xD Hope you guys enjoy my first acquaintance with decals xD For the vision I added bellow completed model before and after decal application, such a difference xD

Order from Samueldecal.com

My hunt for adding more and more details on my kits led me to stickers / decals applying. I tried foils stickers and regular transparent stickers, which are included with most of RG and MG kits and I must say that I really hate them xD Application is easy but final look is terrible, hate visible edges and overall look of regullar stickers. After all that I searched on web and I figured out that I have another option - Decals xD But instantly after that I came up to that not all kits have original alternative from Bandai. More googling after I found recourse - samueldecal.

I start to gathering all tools necessary for this purpose and one of this things was something like cup, or something small and handy for holding all liquids, for mixing and  dividing. After searching on internet, after watching some tutorials and articles i came to that almost all modellers used same thing - Mr. HOBBY Paint tray xD. So I ordered it and I waited for this thing for like 30 days. Anyway its here, so lets look at thit thing xD

How to make your own Alligator Clip Painting Sticks

After watching some paintings, panel-linings and some custom works on Gundams I decide that I must have same accessories for sure xD One of this things are  Alligator Clip a.k.a. Painting Sticks for gripping your parts without touching them with hands of fingers. So I slowly searched for all necessary components for this build xD I just ordered some nice looking Alligator Clips (25 pieces, 4 Eur) and bought Barbecue sticks from my local shop (25 pieces, 3Eur), everything cost me only 7 Eur for 25 pieces. For my Alligator Clips-style we will also need some tape.

Review of SHARPIE MARKERS as Gundam markers

After some time with Gunpla models I decide to make my Gundams even more detailed. Later I want to buy paints itself, but for now I wanted to try something different. Gundam markers are great for adding little details to your Gundams. I found some nice pictures on Instagram with some nice metallic details, so I asked which style of painting are used on model. I figured out, that models are simply painted with gundam markers, but in this case with Sharpie metallic markers. Regullar gundam markers are hard to get in my country, so I wanted to buy sharpie ones xD Actually, this ones was a birthday gift from my mother's fiancee, but everyone knows whose idea it was xD
