GSI CreosGundam Marker Value Set -GM01&02&03- (Black, Gray, Brown)

These pens are not bad. They have very thin tips so you are able to mark very small areas. The marker ink last for quite sometime without any issues that I can tell. The markers are also easy to erase to create that "used" texture. These markers work well on my zoid kits and gundam kits. They are also nice for some custom pieces that need a small amount of color that my paint cannot get to. It dries pretty quick but is easy to remove if you need to redo it. The pens are able to be stored for long periods. I would say just try not to press too hard on the tips or your can damage it. It is not something you have to worry about running out of ink any time soon especially if you are just making small marks here and there. Overall these pens are great. They work well on any kind plastic or even 3d prints. The tip is thin and for the most part durable but do not press too hard down on it.

These worked right out the package and enabled me to panel line accurately! Great pens, and a great price!

These markers are great for beginners and younger builders that want to add panel line details to their model kits. Works on bare plastic or painted surfaces (there are better options for painted surfaces). These detail markers and Bandai's pour markers are my go-to for panel lining my basic kit builds.

Gundam markers are a learning experience. In my case there have been no beads inside of the pens aside from the broader tipped pens. I shake them real hard and I have a plastic separator I used to get the ink flowing to just scribble on then I start applying to the panel line from top to bottom and correct mistakes with rubbing alcohol. It will take you awhile to get that' just right' highlight your trying to express. It's really easy to get OCD and run the pen over multiple times creating a black line and it needs a happy medium, you're going to have to go back and lighten that up with alcohol and q-tips or cotton buds as you say in the UK and abroad. But don't let my review dissuade you, I encourage you to get these and learn how to panel line the Gundam Way! A lot of people will say use panel line accent color but that stuff is thin as water and gets all over everything, not fun. That substance takes an otaku who has been around the block a few times before you can evolve to that style of panel lining. So please start here and be happy building! 🤘

This is a great starter selection, to see if these work for you.If you already know you like markers for panel lining, you might try the pour style markers instead.

The ultra fine points are nice for extra detailing on my Gundams.

I started out with the larger tipped panel lining marker in my metallic marker set while it wasn't that difficult to use it was time consuming as it required constant cleaning of the area around the panel line but with these fine tipped ones all you have to do is lay the tip right into the panel line or other sculpted area and paint it, there still will be times where you'll have to clean up excess but generally it's much less of a hassle. The tips are very small I've yet to fine a place on any of my 1/144 models it wasn't able to reach. Like with other Gundam markers you can use alcohol to clean up mistakes and even it use it to fade panel lines if you find them too dark looking.Another great use of them I've found are with action figures like Marvel Legends and Star Wars black series, for example on the recent Deadpool has unpainted light brown holsters that look rather ugly but you can use the brown marker to give it a paint wash to give it more of a brown leathery look, to do this just run the marker over it and then lightly wipe a qtip over it to prevent it from looking too harsh and also give it some nice contrasting tones of brown to evoke leather. Black Series Han Solo's blaster has silver paint where the opening of the barrel should be making it look cheap but this was easily fixed with the black marker.
