For starters who do not want to invest too much in painting, you can use the following:
1) Gundam touchup markers to remove discolored plastic in areas which you cut from the plastic tree. Also works if you cut too deep into the plastic and have a discolored part.
2) Use Matte spray cans on bare plastic to remove that plastic look - it will look painted on.
3) Use Gundam panel line markers or Tamiya panel line paints to bring out the details.

A typical MG kit can look quite nice in its original colors if you do the above things. Really a quick way to do up those Gundam backlogs.

a few options for painting: handpaint, paint markers, spraycan and airbrush.

for starters, handpaint and spraycan will be better coz airbrush requires a huge start up cost.

handpaint will be the cheapest option. just a get a few bottles of aqueous acrylic paint from hobby shop, and a paint brush. but is not easy to achieve nice results coz it is easy to get brush strokes marks when handpainting.

spraycan will give u beautiful results that are close to airbrushing. just that it is going to be expensive in the long run.

gundam paint markers are ok for small areas, but similar to handpaint, it can have brush stroke marks, especially if u try to paint larger areas. not too cheap also. i wun recommend using paint markers.

Got a question about water slide decals, just started on the decals on my sinanju stein, what I have and use is just water and Mr Mark Softer.

What is the best way to apply water slides?

What I do now is:
1) Cut out decal with hobby knife, leave it in water bowl for about 10-15 seconds.
2) Use tweezers to pick it up, then use needle to slide it onto gundam parts and into position.
3) After part is done I put it aside to let it dry on its own.
4) Days later I dab a little Mark Softer on the decal, and let it dry on its own.

Do anyone recommend applying Mark Softer straight after step 2 before it dries? Or after step 2, use a paper to dry it then apply Mark Softer.

Should I also let Mark Softer dry on its own or use a paper to dry it manually?

So far did backpack, weapons and shield. Sadly, I ruined 4 decals, 3 I managed to salvage, 1 I had to remove totally.

After step2 i use tissue and cotton bud to dry the decal a little then apply mark softener already. Then use tissue or cotton bud to dub and remove excess softener

Is there any workspace or small area for rent to do scale modelling? Maybe provide air brush tools etc. No place to do all these at home....sigh
