Tips and Tricks –
By implementing the technique of Top Coating, you can do a great deal to help preserve the longevity of your models. This process will protect the original plastic of your model kit and prepare it for any additional modeling techniques to follow.
You can drastically improve your results by making the details pop on the HG The Origin #24 MS-06S Zaku II Red Comet Version with Panel Lining. The simplest solution for this is Gundam Markers or Tamiya Panel Line Fluid. If you’re up to a challenge making panel wash is always a great option too! It is always recommended to Topcoat with clear gloss beforehand, as some of the products commonly used for Panel Lining will degrade the untreated plastics over time.
Another way to keep adding detail is by applying Stickers/Marking Decals. Top Coating before the application will help decals stick to the surface much better. Using Top Coat after application will help hide the seams on traditional sticker decals as well as waterslides. This additional step will also keep them from peeling over time. Using Decals is a great way to add an even greater level of detail to your scale models.

Amazingly detailed, but time consuming kit. This is an amazing rendition of the S Gundam that blows the old 1/144 NG out of the water in it’s proportions and surface detail. This kit will really shine if you are willing to put in the work- and trust me- there’s a lot of work to be done here. Seams GALORE. Tail stabilizer, head, shoulders, forearms, thighs, lower legs, fuel tanks, side skirts, smart gun all have big seams. Lots of masking is required as well. I’d go as far to say that every part on this kit requires either masking or seam removal. That being said, the designers poured their heart and souls into making a really nicely kit here. If you put in the time and work, it will reward you in spades.
