I finished my MG Turn A yesterday. I'd love some critique.
I would clean it up some before any top coat. but good stuff.
I am still haunted by the first kit I top coated without looking fully over.

I couldn't help myself.
As for critique, I'd say you have the same problem of line bleeding I do. A few of your black lines are running into the white areas.

thanks! i couldn't keep up the pace you were going at building wise but glad i got one finally done. you working on any kits lately? i know you mentioned you were busy taking a break.
some GP-01Fb love from gundaminfo
I will give yah something to look at next month.
finished my V2 last month, but I did not like the build quality of the kit. Bandai should not have included the transformation gimmick

Thanks! i just used a normal pencil for about 95% of the kit.
I'm seriously considering trying that over Gundam Markers on my next kit. What size lead do you use, 0.5mm?
I have a 3mm draft pencil that I've used to panel line. I think you can get down to 2mm. Unless they have improved in recent years the official markers (even the thinner variety) always seemed too thick for my tastes.
Pencil is susceptible to smudging though, so be careful handling it.

Very nice panel lining! I should look into using a pencil as well. I can't seem to get the results I want with Gundam Markers :/

gAGE love on the ANN gundam quiz. Shocked people didnt know its Flit.

This is my first kit (RG Astray Red Frame) and it took me 3hrs to build the right leg, hahaha. I've got some scuff marks 
I've gotta say that I'm highly impressed at how they manufactured it. Building the frame and then layering on pieces on top of that is pretty cool. I didn't expect so many little details.

I've got a question for all you gunpla experts here. When I'm putting on the stickers for the eyes, what's better?
1. The black borders with the green eyes already included.
OR
2. The black borders with empty space for the eyes + the separate green eyes.
I assume the separate green eyes go on first, and then the black border in the case of #2. Why are there two different sets? Does one way look better than the other?

David the GP-01 looks great, awesome job!
As for the eye stickers, I've never seen a kit with two separate stickers for the eyes. How old/which kit is that exactly? I would do the black outline then eyes personally just from how you described it. For the why? Every now and then they try different things with kits and see how people respond would be the most simple answer.
Also, keep finding excuses to not start my MG Gundam Origin lol. -solazy- Going to try to panel line with the ink drop method this time. Feel like the lines will be thicker than I like but willing to try it.

NA NA NA NANANANA TURN.
Don't worry, Kamille is a man that never stops getting smacked in his teeth.
It's an RG Astray Red Frame. The box says copyright 2015. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting the instructions? Here's a pic of the sticker sheet. The instructions say to use 63,64,7,8 or 3,4.

Ahhh in that case I would say its for pure modelers choice. Some people like to do stuff like LED lights for the eye cameras, paint that area instead of stickers and what not. I'd do the simplest, black and green full sticker lol. That's just me.

i'm using a 0.3mm
yeah, 2mm seems like a recent option, it wasn't an option when i brought the 0.3mm i need to get one and try it.
thanks! the ink of grey gundam marker just doesn't sit right with me, i tried gundam marker before removing it and using pencil on the same piece: i use gundam marker just on darker colors like blue red, yellow.
gundam marker grey
removed
pencil
drat, hope you can recover zero, i love that suit and want to build it soon.
yeah i agree with Valkerionseven, use the green with black borders. unless you plan on painting. i asked the same question when i did my first RG kit.
thanks man!
share with us your results if you do the ink drop method =)

Too bad I already started my RG Build Strike, it'd look weird to switch midway through. Next kit, though, I'm gonna try it your way. Pencil for white parts, Gundam Marker for darker colors.
Oh I see. That makes sense. Thanks everyone! I'll go with the simple option!

Deathscythe Hell is like the Edgelord Gundam isn't it?
Forget the wings, that scythe is ridiculous. I like the ribcage like chest though I wonder if they were inspired by the Specineff for that.
It is, and the fact that the only character I actually liked from Wing is the one that pilots it made me drop the series. Such a shame.

Wing is the 90's in anime form.

Guys. I've never watched gundam before where should I start

The original of course. He needs to witness a woman falling in love over domestic abuse.
The original is out on blu-ray. Might as well start there http://www.rightstufanime.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Part-1-Bluray
Could also watch the movies. Basically slims down the series into a trilogy. That's where I started as a kid http://www.rightstufanime.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Movie-Trilogy-Blu-ray

Gundam Wing or Gundam Seed are both awesome starting points and you experience the best series in all of Gundam immediately. Both are on Daisuki.

I started with the first MSG OVA...never finished the series since I only saw it cause my uncle let me borrow it, but my first series was Wing. I mean it works but a part of me also thinks the first Gundam experience should be written by Tomino.
Good news is gundam on something I already pay for.
Bad news: seed and 00 are meh. Why can't we get zeta

Start with the original movie trilogy then go on to Zeta Gundam, follow that timeline then if you're still interested move onto the alternate timelines.
