Gundam Markers
Posted by Souda99 on Saturday, May 2, 2015 11:27 AM
Ok, so I need every ones help. I'm trying to find a site that sells the Gundam Paint Marker Sets. So far I have only been able to find them on Amazon and one site that sells Gundams here in the US all the rest are out of Japan. So far Amazon is the cheapest place I have found them unless some one knows of a better place. I'm trying to find them for my fiancé, she has 5 kits but hasn't started them because she has been trying to find the markers. Any help would be great. Thank you

Many brands of marker are quite useful for modeling work.  A discount store near me had a bargain package of thin pointed markers, twenty in the pack,for a buck, in a complete rainbow of colors. I use them quite a bit.

Don,

Thanks for the insight. I have been trying to find alternative ones for her as well. Creos makes a wide array of paint markers for her Gundams it's just proving almost impossible to find them here in the US. I don't know if it is a distributer issue or an import issue, I just wish you could find Creos products here stateside.

I see many Gundam markers on eBay.  AFAIK, there's nothing special about Gundam markers.  Any enamel or acrylic markers will do.

Or even non-paint markers are useful.  They make nice transparent/translucent effect.  They work nice over chrome/aluminum plating for a burned effect, useful for car or cycle exhausts, etc.  I use red and green markers for marker lights on wingtips and car taillights.  Brown markers can make rusty effect.
