  • “Well, I made a robot, but it looks a little different from the picture on the box.”
  • “Let me try this. Animation kits these days tend to come precolored, so you canmake them look cool if you just paint them a little with a Gundam marker.”
  • “Wow, amazing. What is it, Kei?”
  • “Haven’t you heard of Gundam markers, boss? It is a very convenient pen thatis a kind of combination of a pen and paint brush.”
  • “Which means you don’t need to have paint and a brush. That’s easy.”
  • “This is really ideal for lazy people like you, boss. Well, let’s do a bit of training together and see if we can get to be marker masters!”

Types of Marker

There are 2 types of Gundam marker for painting and ink drawing and 4 types for weathering. Each type is designed for a special use, so the level of finish improves if you use them according to the different purposes they were intended for.

GUNDAM MARKER For Painting
The marker for painting uses good color smooth alcohol type paint, with a flat core pen point that is capable of painting everything from big open surfaces to tiny parts.
GUNDAM MARKER For Ink Drawing (Ultra thin pen point)
The ink drawing markers are oil-based markers with an ultra thin pen point, which is used for painting engraved parts. It fixes really well and provides a realistic finish easily.
GUNDAM MARKER For Ink Drawing (Wipe off type)
The ink drawing brush marker is most suitable for painting even finer engraved parts. The pen point is a brush type, and special water-based ink is used, so it can be applied on any kind of basecoat and paint run off can be wiped off.
GUNDAM MARKER For Weathering
If you want a realistic finish, you should use a weathering marker especially for weathering painting. This is a water-based marker, so you can weather the parts without affecting the base. There is a wipe off type and paint type available for a realistic finish.
GUNDAM MARKER For Erasure
The eraser pen cleans up paint run off quickly just like a rubber eraser. By rubbing over the area run off, excess paint is dissolved and cleared.

Gundam Planet Tips

1) Shake painting and weathering markers well with the cap on before usage.
2)When using for the first time or when ink does come out smoothly, press on the pen point. Be careful not to crush the tip.

STEP 1 -Ink drawing paint-

Well, let’s try ink drawing. Ink drawing is a method for increasing the three dimensional quality and reality by painting color in the engraved lines on the kit. If the kit is precolored, ink drawing provides a remarkable finish.
