One thing that stands out to me about the EX that I don't think was mentioned much in the video was how watery it is compared to original markers, or at least the metallic green. It seemed to flow everywhere with the slightest touch and it takes quite a while to dry

I used to think gundam markers were blotchy unusable wastes of money, but recently after getting the airbrush tool for them. (To use with the ex chrome) it's actually vastly improved the coverage and consistency with the markers overall. So I hope you revisit this topic while using it 1 day.

I don't have much using gundam markers but one of the things I do that helps with have a better consistency is not to make the tip of the marker touch the surface. 1. Once it's start to pour the color raise the tip a little. 2. The capillary action will do the trick to get a better result in the consistency. *note some colors will work better than others.

@@HobbyClubhouse I'm actually very curious. I saw some pictures of this advanced set with a gold that looks different to the gold which can be bought loose. However, I also found some images of the same set with just the regular gold you can buy separately. There's a video on youtube called "THE GOLD MARKER?", you can see a different gold marker within that advanced set, while if you google "Gundam marker advanced set", you will either find the same set with the regular gold or you will find the same set with that other gold. From what I can see, the only difference between the two gold is that one of them has a gold and black lid and one of them only has gold on its lid. Update: I found out that the sold separate gold marker has the code "gm-200", and the one from "THE GOLD MARKER?" has the code "gm-166" on it, meanwhile some of the pictures of the same set has the "gm-167" gold included instead.

The silver of the EX Gundam Marker is smoother and definitely better than the already-good Tamiya silver. The Tamiya gold doesn't have a true equivalent and there's only the ugly regular Gundam Marker gold. The Tamiya white is really glossy and still doesn't coat evenly. Other colors like Tamiya's plain red and blue are also glossy and give a more even coat than Gundam Markers. But more importantly, the Tamiya markers are enamel paints, so they work well on top of laquer paints

Yes, some clog up for me. The EX white is excellent-had to use a lot for the HG Hi Nu's stock gunmetal colors (no apologies, I have no other way to paint, and it makes me happier than leaving them unpainted.) The EX silver is very shiny indeed-in my opinion the non-EX shiny silvers are good (agree to disagree) but I will keep using the EX on my loved models when I want to highlight certain details in silver. All in all, good experience with these, though I do not have them all (EX Dark Green-beautiful IMHO, but a bit messy-EX White x2-one clogged up-and EX "Super Shiny" Silver.

Uh hello mr. clubhouse! First of all thank you so much for these informative videos, i just discovered you recently and ive been binging your videos since. Especially all about these sort of topics on painting (like the ex chrome silver). But.. as a newcomer to painting gunplas, i have one question that's been nagging on my mind; what would you do if you want to paint joint parts? I want to try painting the entry grade rx-78-2 in ways that is the original Gundam 0079 anime accurate, which is to say white joints. If i were to paint those joints on the elbow on knees, there would be a risk of scraping off the paints while posing it wouldn't there? I really hope there is a solution to such problem. Thank you!
@HobbyClubhouse
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much, glad you found the channel:) For your question, there are two big challenges. White paint is itself super hard to put on and even the EX one is still quite uneven and never covers up the bottom plastic that well. Not really sure there's an easy fix to that. I haven't had any success myself... The second challenge is the scraping-off problem which is sort of fixable in some cases. You'll need a tool to sand down the parts like maybe some rough sandpaper (400 grit or a bit lower) or maybe a metal file if you work gently. You want to sand down the walls on the white parts a little bit so they don't touch the gray part as much. It's much harder to do with the elbow, but this is generally how builders keep joints from running off paint (though it still happens to even very advanced builders, so it won't ever go away 100%)
@Shnibbledacat
2 жыл бұрын
thank you for the reply! hmm.. i see i see! i think the sanding down the walls on the connecting white parts could be a great solution! fortunately the joint this time is very simple so doing the thing doesn't sound too hard. if it were something like a ball joint i bet that would be an even larger problem. and thank you so much for the information! i really do enjoy how thorough your videos are, and i'm always looking forward to videos with the topic of any sort of customizing! whether it's painting or modifying/fixing, that is my favorite type of content from your channel so far. any way to level up my gunpla skills is always so helpful!

But getting them individually is good too to get exactly the colors you need. I've found I use the green one and red one much more than the blue one.
