  as from the pic above (courtesy of dalong.net), does the shield needed to be painted or can be colored by gundam markers? does anyone here colored the part before?[/img]

  well you can try to use gundam paint markers for most of it...usually i use paint markers to paint the darker colors as some of the lighter colors won't look that good using paint markers...

  Seriously I find dalong's markering too strong, very very hard, and well, this sounds ok to some, but I think its too much of paint...

  yea... comapre to local made kits, dalong's look more unrealistic and comical. but they give their unique features, can see its dalong's style.

  not professional at all. the panel lines are too thick. and they always like to overdraw.

  i finally bought my first oil based super fine gundam marker last friday from joyce (Hobby art gallery).
  
  amazing. i love it~!
  
  i'm still new to paneling so for the time being i'm selecetive as to which line to draw. i only draw lines that have a drain as it's easier. no need to scare of crooked lines or draw too thick.

  should be around there. it's not written on the marker.
  
  although the tip is very fine, but as u draw the lines on the model, the amount of force u apply is very important. too much force and the line will be very thick, like those u see at dalong.net.

  ohh... should be the one i got too... but ive go thru the photo-guide on paneling. they've used a gundam marker written on the marker itself it is 0.4mm, and i dont seem to be able to find it.

  i bought the sakura 005 marker as recommended by some people..it is not good at all..hand rub on the part that is drawn and the ink will smudge ..will the drawings from gundam marker smudge if anything rub against it?

  i can vouch for it. oil based gundam marker definitey won't smudge.
