Sledsel Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I was going to message and ask about how resistant they finish is to handling. I will update unless someone else gets an answer before me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedotwo Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I picked one up at HL yesterday and tried it out on some scrap. One thing I noticed right off was the tip was different than a Molotow of the same size. This one seems a bit harder and chiseled nicely. It measures about 2.5mm at the tip. Molotows 2mm is rounded and can be kind of fuzzy. I find I usually use the 2mm Molotow rather than the 1mm because it seems less likely to pool up where you don't want it to. Besides, it covers better IMO. First impression of the Gundam marker is good and it may take the place of the 2mm Molotow. We'll see.

Zen Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Is there a brand name for these or are they just called markers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just like a Molotow, it's an ink, not paint and it isn't resistant to handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just another version of a chrome finish marker. I don't think theses are as shiny as Molotow (close) but they are a bit more durable. After 15 minutes, I could touch the surface without dulling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think theses are as shiny as Molotow (close) but they are a bit more durable. After 15 minutes, I could touch the surface without dulling it. Same experience I had. The durability seemed better than Molotow and the shine was close enough for me. Alot of times you really don't need a full chrome shine on trim pieces anyway. I've found that finger oils make a big difference in handling these types of pieces, especially Molotow. That and ample drying time helps as well. These aren't for everyone, and everyone seems to have opinons about this type of chroming, but they have their place as far as I'm concerned. Having these markers during this period when BMF is still sorting out their issues is great. If BMF returns to their previous self I'll likely begin foiling again. Definitely quicker to use the marker rather than foil but foil is forgiving when mistakes are made. I will say that while these Gundam EX markers may be a type of ink like Molotow the tips are different. I've used mine a few times now and although I'm beginning to see the tip show signs of fibers (I guess there has to be something like this to maintain fluid while using) it's still chiseled nicely enough to maintain a straight edge. How long the tip remains like this is to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
