Enjoy!
Midwest is great
Agreed! 😁😁😁
Awesome! Those metallics look great. I am definitely going to try some of those out. Thanks man.
I stand by it. Best three dollars. 😁😁😁
My paint brushes say this is heresy, but I say this looks like an amazing hobby-hack! Thanks for the recommendation.
Haha. My brushes are crying in the corner too. 🤣 Thanks for stopping by! 😁
I got my set of markers from Midwest Hobby and Craft. They are truly beautiful. And the Midwest folks are really nice adding thank you notes on the marker bags. I’m going to publish a few Instagram posts showing the markers in action on my MG Zaku II FZ and will quote you as inspirer and mention the store too. Thank you for the suggestion: great markers indeed!
Hey, I'm so glad you like them! They're really awesomene, so I'm glad to support them. 😁
@@PlamoTherapist, me too! I bought other stuff too (nippers, wet palette) and will get more markers in the future when the store will restock them.
Excellent review and tutorial. I will try to find some of them and give it a try on my next gunpla (which is in fact Mobile doll May). Good video this time again thank you.
Hey Fred! Glad you liked the video! Midwest Hobby and Craft JUST updated their stock today, so there should still be some left if you want to try and nab some for yourself! 😁
@@PlamoTherapist yes I have already checked their website but... Shipping fees are too often more expensive than the products themselves. So I will have to try to get them elsewhere... Hopefully they are available closer to my country! Thank you. Keep up the good work, and keep safe.
Hey Fred, I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully someone can bring these awesome tools to you or at least close enough where shipping won't cost ten times the product. I appreciate the support and I hope to see you again soon. 😁
those are REALLY slick. I woulda just brushed this off ;) ;), but might have to grab some of these for kits that I don't really want to go through all the hassle of painting, but still want to add some metalics to make it pop. Thanks!
I use them even on my fully painted kits too! 😁
These look awesome man caught this video 44min after posting and almost all them deals sold out
Hey Dylan, hope you were able to snag an order. If not, don't worry, it seems like these come back in stock quickly. 😁
Inventory was just updated from our recent restock! Should be all set! Thanks for checking them out!
Oh snap, let's go! 😁😁😁
I gotta get me some of these XD Speaking of Gundam Markers, rarely do I ever use its tip. What I normally do is push it down in a small metal paint bowl, and then use a brush to apply the paint. Got the idea from Gunpla Modelers Beginning G.
BRUH... You won't regret it. 🤣🤣🤣
I know what you mean. Especially on those fine details like eyes and pistons or pipes. But I get the colors that I want based on what they look like and then mix or use them individually. It’s all a matter of what you want to do. I also use Mr Hobby leveling thinner to get rid of my brush marks when I paint with a brush and it comes out nice and smooth.
Thanks! Looks helpful
Thanks for checking out the video! 😁 If you have any questions or need any help, don't be afraid to reach out! 😁😁😁
does spraying top coat affect the paint in any negative way?
I have pretty bad tremors when it comes to detailed work so I haven’t been able to use brushes in years. Just leaving kits raw. And at the end of the day, elitism be damned im gonna get markers because at least I’m painting them
Hey there! Don't let haters get in your way of doing what you want to YOUR kits. If you want to leave them bare, that's YOUR choice. 😁 I am happy that you are doing what you can to your kits, and do hope you have fun in the process.
Now I don't know the full extent of your tremors, but one thing that might be an option ACTUALLY IS airbrushing. The larger gross-motor movements might be less affected depending on the condition and can really open a whole new door to customizing gunpla. 😁 I hope you continue to find joy in this hobby and don't let anything I or anyone else say that you CAN'T do something. 😁
I’ve built like 30 kits and my favorite ones were always snapped together with (most) decals. Painting kinda ruined the hobby for awhile. Too frustration* for poor results and not enough “guidance” on best practice
You mention snap builders.
How well do these markers lay down on bare plastic? How is their adhesion?
Hey there, great question! These markers are on par for adhesion when compared to Gundam Brand Markers. They can handle a bump and some light handling, but just like other acrylic paints, they can scratch if you rub it the wrong way or with too much force.
Hope this helps! Midwest Hobby and Craft should be getting a restock soon! 😁
They are simular to the dspiae markers soft tip?
What about panel line cleaning? Does it also get wipped?
Hi! I would like to ask if it is safe to use on nendoroids as well? Since nendoroids aren't pure abs but with a mixture of pvc
Hey there! Great question! I've used this on multiple kits and even inner frames and haven't had any issues. I believe your kits will be fine, but I always recommend testing on a runner first just to be safe. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Dang it. Now I need some of theses...
Right?! My mind was blown when I heard they were water based. 🤯🤯🤯
Is the gold of the Hobby Mio marker the same as the gold pieces from the MG Barbatos frame? If not, I might paint those with this.
Hey there! The Hobby Mio gold is not quite the same color. This gold is a little more brilliant than the plastic so you'll get a better shine. I would definitely paint those gold sections with these markers. Hope this helps! 😁
You sold me on these, I just bought every color available. Unfortunately the Red one was not.
Awesome dude! I hope you enjoy them! Let me know if you have any questions. 😁
how durable is the paint afterward? thats something i personally struggle with
Hey there! Great question! In my experience, they fall between lacquer and acrylics. While not as easily chipped or scratched like Acrylics, they are not quite as durable as lacquer based paints either. However, with a topcoat, they'll be much stronger and more resistant to any wear and tear it may face. Hope this answers your question and best of luck!
Have you had any issues with these markers drying out ?
If it's just small deatils on bare plastic where being alcohol or water based is not really important, are these better than official gold gundam markers?
Hey, thank you so much for watching! And great question! The reason I would say they are is because of the brush tip that these have. The Gundam Markers have a chisel tip like a highlighter that's plastic which isn't ideal for painting.
Hope this answers your question and best of luck! 😁
Dude that’s the exactly what I can do with I’ll be sure to add these to my arsenal for my future kits & it’s ideal for my Kamen rider build figure rise standard kit thanks again for the video Dude 👍👍.
Kind Regards AuraKnight
P.S I’ve started on my Wing Gundam on Sunday so far I’ve only built up the legs & waist units thought I take my time with it so I apply the decal stickers a I go on each parts.
Hell yeah! It's great to see you again and I am so pumped for your wing kit! 😁😁😁
Be sure to get them soon because they go fast! 😆
@@PlamoTherapist will do & thank for warm welcome back & I subscribed to your channel & hit the bell 🔔 but to stay updated on your next project & can I just say that tiny silver stickers a right pain to get off & apply I’m just gonna go for the approach 😁😁
Haha. I appreciate it, thank you so much. Yes, stickers are a pain. If you can, try the silver paint marker! 😆😆😆
I appreciate the support. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. 😁
@@PlamoTherapist Thank you just put the torso together I’ll save the arms for tomorrow also I had ago at panel lining on the waist unit I kinda mess a little messed up or 2 🙄 but I’ll order that eraser or would an ordinary one do? Also just so you know I’m from the UK 🇬🇧😁
Ooh, that's awesome! I've only ever been once and that was to London many years ago. 😆
As for the eraser, any plastic eraser will do just fine, the ones I linked were just the ones I used in the video. Some people like the peace of mind getting the ones they see in the video because they trust that it works. I know this because I 100% do this myself sometimes. 🤣🤣🤣
I have a question are they acrylic base, or something like lacquer?
Great question! They're truly water based. Hence their ability to be cleaned up with water. 😁
are they permanent? I'm planning to paint my Transformers Megatron figure with it cuz it have some little paint chip 😖
Hey, great question! These can be cleaned up with water while it's still wet, and once it's dry, you can still remove it with Isopropyl alcohol if you decide you want to remove it again.
To help seal it in, you can use a top-coat for maximum longevity. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
Where can I get the regular paint markers from Hobby Mio? Not the metallics, but standard colors? Doesn't seem that Midwest carries them.
Hey Andy!
Midwest has the regular markers! Here's a link to the full list! Thanks for looking and if you find something you like, let them know I sent ya! 😁

@@PlamoTherapist wow, thank you! I must've missed them. I will absolutely let them know! Really enjoying your videos, btw. You've gained a subscriber!
Hey thank you so much! I wouldn't be here without each and every one of you. I really appreciate it. If you have any questions in the future, don't be afraid to ask! 😁
So is it best to say paint markers should be used for details, not the entire kit?
Hi Zutto,
In my experience, yes markers are more suited for details rather than full paint jobs.
The quick drying nature of the alcohol and even the water-based paint markers increases the potential for streaking with multiple passes meaning it's more difficult to get a complete and even coverage. That isn't to say it's impossible, but if you wanted to fully hand paint a kit that there are better alternatives out there.
Hope this helps, and best of luck to you. 😁
can i top coat this? and if i do will it just kill the gold look?
Hey there! If you start with a few light misty layers before going full wet layer, you should have no problems. 😁 Matte is going to have a big effect regardless, but you will be able to save the shine of the gold with a good gloss.
Best of luck to you! And if you hurry now, Midwest Hobby and Craft is having a labor day sale! 😁😁😁
@@PlamoTherapist Wow thanks for the quick reply and heads up on the sale just placed my order and subbed! 👍
Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words and support! If you have any other questions I will always try my best to respond as soon as I can, so don't be afraid to reach out!
These looks just like the DSPIAE markers.
Hey Kris! Astute observation! They are very similar in that they are acrylic based brush-tipped markers. However, the DSPIAEs are alcohol based just like the Gundam Markers. If you don't paint your kits, then it doesn't really matter, but if you paint your kits, you run the same risks as regular Gundam Markers.
What r the names of the colors for gold and silver
Hey there! The Gold is Knight Gold M01 and Armort Silver M02. Here's a link to take you straight to the MHC page! 😁

Thanks for the names
Of course! Best of luck on all your future builds!
I got to try these. I HATE gundam markers. I they are runny and leave ugly streaks, never had anything good to say from them. But these look promising. Aiye Chrome markers are also fantastic for gold and chrome stuff including chrome panel lining. The gold and chrome gundam markers are trash, runny, leave a glittery fake chrome finish, don't work properly on metal or smooth unsanded surfaces. There's something really ironic and infuriating about a marker that is supposed to be for making gundam model kits being worse than basically anything else you can buy.
Have you ever use dspiae marker?
Hey there! I have not had the opportunity to use the DSPIAE markers, but based on what I could find on their Aliexpress page, they look and perform similarly but are alcohol based instead of water based.
@@PlamoTherapist but what about the strokes? Does any of those worthed for full repaint whole gundam?
@@PlamoTherapist and what about art marker like sharpie and posca?
I have not used sharpies or Posca markers, but I know Posca markers are a great option for Cel-shade/2D painting. 😁
Hey, I missed your second comment. I wouldn't use Mio or DSPIAE for fully painting kits, but Posca markers may be an option!
Sadly most of the colors are sold out now... I'll have to remember to check back.
Oh man. I guess they went quickly. 🤣
Don't worry, they bring these in very regularly, so just gotta wait a bit. I think they have a restock notification that you can sign up for, but if you follow them on Instagram, he posts updates regularly too.
Hey there! We just updated our inventory from our weekend restock. Everything should be set now. Thank you!
Oh snap! Let's go! 😁😁😁
@@iowanewtype4804 Just ordered four. Thanks.
Oh snap! That's awesome!!!
bro, really?? u can use water to wipe the excess? no alcohol needed? if so ill buy that marker omg
Hey there! Yes! They're water soluble 100%. Absolutely no alcohol needed. You may need a q-tip for a slightly harder scrub, but all you need is a bit of water. Warm water is a bit better, but plain ol tap water works. 😁
@@PlamoTherapist I'll get this one once my Bootleg kit arrived, thx uve been so much help for this information. Ive been looking for a way to paint the eyes because the sticker sucks
