Amazing lecture that covers everything we need to know! I’m a beginner and by following your steps I know how to tidy up the whole stuff! Thank you so much!
I’ve gotten much better results using your wet pallete tutorial and treating the Gundam markers as paint. I don’t know of anyone who uses gundam markers as they are. Doing this with gundam markers makes them dry out faster. A tip for everyone else: use a cutting mat that is just for this, and keep it very clean. I use rubbing alcohol to clean it before each use. This will help the tape maintain its grip.
When i was looking up how to use gundam markers when i got my first set i was told you could take an eraser to remove the marker but they also have the gundam marker remover pen which ive yet to try, this video does help as i plan to go this route for a future p bandi 30mm kit i have coming
Thanks for a great demo. I already use various acrylic markers for model making for small detail work - used as a marker pen. But my advice would be if wanting to spray base coats or primers, a single action airbrush would be a better buy, Eg a Paasche H and a cheap compressor and spray water based acrylics (ideally a spray booth is still a good idea for health and safety) with less VOCs. In the long run that would work out cheaper with a better finish.
Yep, markers are great for starters but definitely get expensive and difficult to use for technical stuff. Nowadays I use everything I can to make wonderful projects :3
I saw this at my local hobby shop and I was iffy if I should buy it. But now that I've seen this guide I'm now confident enough to go buy it now. Thanks :D
Make sure you can get the air at a reasonable price. Works great, but if you're spending $50 a kit on air, obviously you're better off with a "real" airbrush.
You can also buy a converter for the hose, which I do to paint gunpla with markers. But then again, at that point using normal airbrush would be good indeed
you need to change the nibs on the markers if you want to spray them. those are sold separate but they spray way better and conserve more paint. it might be why yours is rough.
I shall in the future, but it’s simple. You can just pull the nub from the pen, and replace it. Make sure the pen tip is not pointing down to avoid spilling
I just discovered this type of airbrush and the idea/concept intrigues me. I do wonder if you can essentially use the gundam markers shells as a sorta "housing" fill them with other kinds of paints (like acrylics). The idea of being able to more easily swap colors just seems really neat, as you don't got to clean the airbrush between color swaps.
I haven’t tried refilling the shells of Gundam markers before, but there are indeed off brand empty markers for you to fill custom colors. Unfortunately most of these marker airbrush need specific thickness/ radius to slot in, and sometimes those specific empty markers are quite expensive. Reusable though What I do now is custom 3d print marker holders that slot into a regular airbrush, run it at 30 psi and have fun with it. At that point you would ask “why not just use an airbrush”, but it’s always fun to do out of ordinary art project time to time :p Hope this helps! And good luck experimenting
@@i.r.o.4456 Thanks for sharing. I'm seeing some people also have empty bottles that have a circumference that fits the spraygun. The bottle tips have those felt nibs inserted into them. They they can fill the bottles (which look like miniature paint bottles), with w/e color/paint they want. The whole "at that point why not just use an actual gravity fed airbrush" to me is a bit of a silly question. These paint marker airbrushes provide a lot of convenience and QoL when it comes to quickly changing paint colors and saves on any work/cleanup you have to do between those changes.
I’m about to use this when the hose comes in, I’m a little scared of the air can and it popping on me but I do get in my mind about things. Since most of the instructions are in Japanese, this video help me understand and I will probably watch it while trying it for the first time
The air can popping is common since there’s a sudden rush of air escaping, and therefore I highly recommend wearing a glove or wrapping a towel during the process. Let me know if you have any other questions
so about the warning at the begining. Would I have to wear a respirator like for spray painting or am is it another kind of mask? I'm looking at getting into this, though the pricing, along with getting markers, clips, clip base, and all that really stacks up. Also what's that enclosed space you airbrushed the shield?
For general safety having a respirator is nice since it deflects harmful substance from entering your body. If you have a ventilated area then just wearing a mask is fine as well. The enclosed area is just a piece of paper and cardboard box. Gundam markers are alcohol based so generally they are much safer to use, and doesn’t spread it’s particles everywhere. Therefore a simple set up of paper and cardboard is sufficient. This is also true for water based acrylic paints and you wouldn’t need a full set up such as air booth to safely airbrush. It does help a lot if you have a booth for controlling and containing the mess you would make from airbrushing
In my experience, unfortunately the marker would rub off as well. This has to do more with markers sensitivity to other solution. If you use water based paints, then it’s safer to rub it off
Tamiya masking tapes are nice because it has just the right adhesive to not ruin the paint job. What you can do instead, however, is let the paint cure for about a day or two. When you apply the masking tape, pre tape it to your skin to weaken the adhesive on the tape.
I have also been looking for the name, which unfortunately I couldn’t find either. If you’re looking for a hose, you can also get a hose converter for an airbrush
if your in a situation where you've done your airbrush painting then done a top coat then wanted to do some finer details with coloured gundam marker or something but messed up and wanted to clean up with gundam marker remover on a cotton bud would the remover remove the airbrushed paint that's been covered by the top coat or would the top coat protect the paint from the gundam remover?
I’m my experience the top coat should protect the paint job. And the top coat needs to be preferably gloss or semi gloss in order to clean up the mistakes
Hi, I loved how helpful the video was. I just wanted to know, if I use a clear coat or top coat over the rough texture from using multiple markers, will the surface smoothen out?
So from experience it is not recommended to top coat surfaces painted with markers unless you are top coating with the new Gundam mark top coats. In that case it might be better to strip the paint off and redo the process
@@i.r.o.4456 I see, Thank you. With the amount of restrictions with using gundam markers, I feel like I'm better off painting or airbrushing with actual paint lol.
Gundam markers are fun paint to use, and only if you’re just using it for fun. So unfortunately it’s not recommended if you’re planning to do something crazy or technical. Still, I do have fun using them when I just want to add few colors
Being relatively new to Gunpla, but having 32 years experience in painting Warhammer 40K miniatures, this looks so weird to me, I'm used to a paint cup on my Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Cr Plus (2024) Airbrush and Sparmax TC-610H Plus Compressor, rather than an aerosol can and a weird pen holding air gun. With a good double-action airbrush and the right settings, I can sign my name with my Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Cr Plus (2024), or even my Harder & Steenbeck Ultra. Plus with a compressor, if you do a lot of airbrushing, you have infinite air. It's why I don't use rattlecans, ever, anymore, it's false economy, theyre disposable, plus with a real airbrush, you can topcoat with acrylic varnish, meaning no chance of reactivation in any paints/markers.
Most definitely. You could imagine Gundam marker airbrush as an introductory course to airbrushing without needing to mix paints and investing in expensive/ complex hardware. Honestly you could imagine the equipment like a toy. Since the marker airbrush can be attached to an air compressor with the right hose, people can then decide whether they would like to invest in an airbrush and move on from there. They can also avoid spending money on aerosol cans which does get pricey in the long run. I still keep my marker airbrush to try out if I can blow molotow paints, or acrylic marker pens like an airbrush. So far I love how easy it is to clean up and switch between colors immediately, but still experimenting on this idea.
The biggest advantage was it is easy to use a good way to fully utilize your leftover gundam marker when you switch to air brushing Since it is using Water based gundam marker,it doesn't required a spray booth and doesn't produce toxic smells,good for someone with small space but wanted to do painting Not all people have the time to sit down the whole day to paint,so having a professional set of air brush system is not very practical as most people only do their build on day off and pairing this gundam marker spray system with a portable compressor,it is enough for me at least, i only have the time to do one kit properly each week,and it is on my day off,so if i was going to paint i am going to paint one Hg per week and the gundam marker spray system and a small portable compressor meet up my expectations,
I am terribly sorry that I can't tell you the specific since I bought myself a collection of adaptors online, and fitted with whatever fit with my air compressor. All I can tell you is that the Gundam Marker Airbrush uses a smaller hose.
What I would like to know is if you can use this with other paint markers such as acrylic paint markers that you usually see at Hobby Shops and Hobby Lobby
Theoretically and conceptually it should work. The airbrush system is only blowing and spraying out paint dripping form the marker. Might definitely try it out. Thanks!
I have tried using sharpie and it works very well! Some doesn’t have good coverage, and some do. So it’s just experimenting which brand or color works.
@@i.r.o.4456 so the sharpie fits the holder? Great, bcause sharpie has a variety of interesting colors. Another question: are sharpie and gundam markers have the same type of paint/ink type?
There are two things to look out for. 1. Gundam markers are alocohol based, so if you can find a sharpie that’s similar then great! 2. Remember that Gundam Markers can drip paint, which is why the airbrush system work since the air is blowing out the dripping paint. If you could find a sharpie brand that can drip, then great!
asking your opinion, you know parallel pens? those pens that are basically refillable markers, if I somehow made one of those pens fit in the gundam airbrush marker holder, and I moded the pen to have a eye dropper ink system, basically the barrel of the pen is acting as the ink carriage, and then I added enough thinner to tamiya paint(cuz I like tamiya paints), and then added the paint to the pen, could I then use it like a regular airbrush?
I don’t know about parallel pens, but I do know what you’re talking about. There are products similar that does work, so theoretically it should work! I don’t have a concrete answer, so would love to hear from you if it works!
Definitely! Tried and tested. You will need a hose converter to connect to the air compressor. Then increase the air pressure to 25 Psi or higher, and the system should work perfectlyt
Hi I.R.O! Thank you for the video. I really like to know how to avoid rough texture after applying layers of paint from the Gundam marker. Is it possible if we coat the parts after paint one color before applying another paint on the parts?
From experience, the top coat would ruin marker's paint job underneath. I haven't tried hand painting a top coat or just spraying a top coat thinned with water (both water based acrylics), so I will definitely experiment a little more. But thank you so much for the suggestion!
@@i.r.o.4456 I've had better luck top-coating gundam markers with Tamiya Color top coat rattle-cans, which I believe are lacquer. If you're using the Mr. Hobby acrylic top coats, I've had to let the GM cure for a day. I don't *quite* understand what's going on here, because the lacquer top coat should react worse than the acrylic, but it has worked for me.
You can paint Gundam marker on top of primer. But the marker can be applied on plastic and it should adhere sufficiently. I didn’t quite understand what you meant by the edit question, but if you asking if you can apply the cement on top of the paint, then no
Gundam markers are alcohol based, so a water based brush type wouldn’t damage the paint job. Just make sure you never top coat the model after you paint the model with Gundam marker
Alcohol based markers are easily susceptible to melt or ruin when a stronger solution or paint is applied on top. If you have water based top coats, then it should be fine
There’s an airbrush hose converter, which allows you to interchange between different hoses to connect the air compressor. You would use that to connect the gunpla air brush to the air compressor
There’s two method that you can do when the air ran out. One is buying an aerosol can. I know testors sell their own can, and Home Depot or places that sell spray cans should have aerosol cans. The only problem is that the cap might not be compatible with the marker airbrush. The second one is more reliable, where you plug the hose to an air compressor. You may need to purchase a hose converter in order to attach the marker hose to the air compressor. Hopefully I was able to answer your question
@@i.r.o.4456 Thank you! Ive been wanting to start painting with spray cans/ airbrush, but i feel that the gundam marker airbrush is a good starting point. Thanks!
You could have taped off each of the sections of the shield individually. For each color you wanted and possibly have the flat smooth finish everybody be yacking about, 3% smarter than what you working with is all it takes.
@@i.r.o.4456 I haven't used this yet just bought one due to seeing the surprising results. And was sold on it immediately now anxiously waiting for Amazon to pull through.
hi, may i know what type of air compressor can i use in leiu of the spray can? i cany find any supplier in our country. and its prohibited to be shipped fromother sites outside the philippines. if u have any idea… thanks. hope you reply sir. its costly using cans.
Damn. So i have to not only buy airbrush and markers but also air? At this point i am better off just using colouring pecinls and draw backgrounds manually.
I think it’s important to make it really clear: this product isn’t very good, the air runs out super fast, the stop start process caused by the paint flow problems you mentioned makes it impossible in practice to do a full kit. Lastly the markers don’t actually have a lot of paint in them and run out quite fast.
I’ve bought a hose adaptor to an air compressor and found out it works! I used 25 to 35 psi to work properly. You can go lower but most often the the marker paint doesn’t spray nicely for some reason. Hope this information helps!
@@i.r.o.4456 yeah you should just get a real airbrush to connect to your compressors. Even a £20 eBay airbrush works 10000x better than this. I connected it to my compressor too, was still awful :p
@@davenelson8187 absolutely don’t waste money on this. Even the cheapest of airbrushes works better. If you’re going to get a compressor you might as well get a real airbrush too which would be cheaper anyhow! Even if this worked great (it doesn’t) the paint wouldn’t be sustainability priced.

There’s an airbrush hose converter, which allows you to interchange between different hoses to connect the air compressor. You would use that to connect the gunpla air brush to the air compressor

Which type of panel line marker you are using? I tried it before. Loos like the gundam panel line marker will dissolve the gundam marker paint.
I am using a water based GM20 200 Gundam Panel Line Marker Black Wipe Off Type
What is the name of this Gundam marker airbrush?
Funny enough, it is literally called Gundam Marker Airbrush which you can find the item on Amazon right now
@@i.r.o.4456 Thank you! Ive been wanting to start painting with spray cans/ airbrush, but i feel that the gundam marker airbrush is a good starting point. Thanks!
The airbrush system is a great way to get started!
You could have taped off each of the sections of the shield individually. For each color you wanted and possibly have the flat smooth finish everybody be yacking about, 3% smarter than what you working with is all it takes.
After several years I found that out. Tedious, but well worth it.
@@i.r.o.4456 I haven't used this yet just bought one due to seeing the surprising results. And was sold on it immediately now anxiously waiting for Amazon to pull through.
Thanks! subs and liked.
Thank you so much!
hi, may i know what type of air compressor can i use in leiu of the spray can? i cany find any supplier in our country. and its prohibited to be shipped fromother sites outside the philippines. if u have any idea… thanks. hope you reply sir. its costly using cans.
You can use any brand compressor that can pump around 25 psi of air. Hope that helps
@@i.r.o.4456 thanks. yes it helps… more power! 🙌🏼
Damn. So i have to not only buy airbrush and markers but also air? At this point i am better off just using colouring pecinls and draw backgrounds manually.
Como consigo el airo sol puedo usar de cualquier marca
Perdona mi mal español
Sí, puedes usar cualquier marca Airo sol puedo
I think it’s important to make it really clear: this product isn’t very good, the air runs out super fast, the stop start process caused by the paint flow problems you mentioned makes it impossible in practice to do a full kit. Lastly the markers don’t actually have a lot of paint in them and run out quite fast.
This is very true.
Has anyone adapted one of these to a compressor yet? If so what pressure is used?
I’ve bought a hose adaptor to an air compressor and found out it works! I used 25 to 35 psi to work properly. You can go lower but most often the the marker paint doesn’t spray nicely for some reason. Hope this information helps!
@@i.r.o.4456 yeah you should just get a real airbrush to connect to your compressors. Even a £20 eBay airbrush works 10000x better than this. I connected it to my compressor too, was still awful :p
@@davenelson8187 absolutely don’t waste money on this. Even the cheapest of airbrushes works better. If you’re going to get a compressor you might as well get a real airbrush too which would be cheaper anyhow! Even if this worked great (it doesn’t) the paint wouldn’t be sustainability priced.
