    Just pre-ordered the metallic version from Show-Z to replace my MP-10 on my Prime shelf...


    Guess I need to list my MP-10 for sale at some point now. :lol

    Am I the only person that thinks they should release a replacement set of hands for these guys, because their hands are a bit too big and would look better if each finger was of a different length to one another. It\'s just that those hands are too big and unatural. I\'m okay with the blockyness of them, it inkeeping with it\'s aesthetic, which is a bit chunky and blocky, but the hands should just be a bit more refined.

    I agree completely. I’d buy it in a second if it was ever made available

    Apparently, artist grade gel pens can make some nice highlights on the gun. 2019-04-23_18.27.23.jpg

    That looks great! I wonder how durable it is though - those pens are intended for paper so I'd be a little worried about how they hold up on plastic.

    It was suggested to me by a guy who builds Gundam models. I suppose that it holds out pretty well. But then again, it wouldn't be difficult at all to clean it off and redo it.

    The pens are water based. It doesn't take much to clean it off. Have to be careful with it until it dries tho or you can rub it off.

    Nice! I'll have to track some down and do some experiments. Working with pens is so much easier than brushes.

    Doesn't hurt to have brushes to get it spread into the grooves. Here's the color chart for the pens. 15560596584281969062220.jpg

    Let it dry and give it a good clear coat and you should be fine. I've used everything from gel to professional ink pens to Prismacolor markers, lol. As long as you finish it right, it's all good.

    Honestly, adding paint to the gun was a better idea than I expected.

    @aledromo has made resin ones of any shade or color you could possibly want that pop in and out easy. I got a set of the sky blue myself. Might want to ask to see his stuff too. I'll dig around and see if I can find his post about them for you.

    EDIT: Here are the pictures of them.
