Thanks for that VGM. I've actually been going okay with the Gundam Marker I got with RX-78 (it was a beginner kit, or so the man in Zombster said) but you can't really see what I've done in the photo because of the low quality. I'll try to take a better pic so you can see. I kept it to a minimum on the other kits where there weren't really deep panels, but I've also used the marker to pretty up a Generations Armada Starscream and Legendary Megazord .
One thing I am struggling with a bit is the decals. I have tweezers and q-tips, but does anyone have any tips on how best to apply them beyond that?
Yes I have tips and ill show u a good video.
let me go find it first.
this guy is good.

Decals are pretty easy. Cut the one you want out with a hobby knife.
with tweezers place it in a bowl of water and let it soak for a few moments.
after a good soaking...not to long.. pick up with tweezera and place on the part u want to decal.
now with a damp qtip in the other hand slide the decal off and put into place. Once satisfied remove the exess water and let dry. Some ppl like to put on Mr.mark setter. Let it dry over night.
after all decals are all on and dry give a clear coat to each piece.
Hope this helps
I am trying to say gundam markers limit your panel lining abilities.
An fine art line pen goes way beyond.
Of course go what you are comfortable with.
Cheers
As for decals I think what a lot fail to realise is the kits mostly do not come with water slides. If you had just bought HG grade then the videos won't do much good. Unless you hunt for bandai water slides for your model.
Again a clear coat is not hard to do, and helps a lot.
If you are seriously don't want to do anything, the RG grade is the best way to go looking best with minimum painting requirements.
