Depends on the putty your using. I advise trying it out on a sample first, then try painting it. But usually paint adheres to putty. And on an added note: make sure that the putty you applied is smooth or else you'll see something you won't like.

I think a gundam marker could work as I'm using it, but my marker's not the same white as the usual white so I have a bit of problem on it.

Following on from the polycap solution, anyone here have the MG Strike Freedom?
I've screwed up one of the wings and it's now really really lose (keeps falling off). I don't want to you use superglue because that will mean the wings are stuck forever...any other solutions? |

1st: Put a small amount of superglue on the polycap. 2nd: Let it dry. NOTE: Don't put the polycap yet! 3rd: After drying, put it back and wala, it's now tight again. In some cases, it'll even get tighter. The dried superglue will make the whole connection more secure

I have a question..
Has anyone encountered that big issue with the MG Age-1 Normal where the little peg pieces on the waist section break off? It happened to me the first time I built the MG Age-1 Normal, but since then I got another one and I have yet to built the Sparrow, Titus, Age-2 Normal, and Age-2 Darkhound. Can anyone else tell me if this is a problem with the other kits?

I see, thanks! I wasn't sure the super glue trick worked on polycap ball joints as well. I think I'd better stay away from kits that have polycap ball joints from now on, they're annoying the hell out of me... I'm glad HGUC kits don't use them often.

Just kidding. I am super curious to see what they came up with. It definitely is likely that they are gonna "combine" the RG and the MG line in some way and enhance the level of detail and articulation even further. My guess is that the Nu Ver.Ka was already a step in that direction and that they are gonna push it even further with a new MG line. |

Just completed my last backlog kit, the Banshee (DesMod), but still, THE VENT STICKERS MAN! Now I'm eyeing the one kit I should've bought a looong time ago, the RX-78-2. Never bought a kit of it before (I know, it's a crime) so I'm gunning for an MG of it.
Would the OYW Ver. be a good choice? Frankly speaking, I'm trying not to get the 2.0 since I'm not really in favour of it's TV-accurate appearance.

And since I have built the 2.0 myself I would always recommend it. It's a spectecular model! As for what I have said above about the new MGs, I think rrobbert on Youtube made a good point against what I said... If they really did incorporate RG stuff into the MG line that would sort of make the Master Grades redundant because they would just be "1/100 scalce RGs". That just makes me even more curious about what the new kits are gonna be like. |

If you like realistic and sophisticated looks -> buy OYW version If you like the anime’s simplistic looks -> buy the 2.0 version IMO Even if the 2.0 is a better kit in terms of build and articulation, it’s not worth it if you don’t like the looks . Also, OYW is not really that far below the newer 2.0 version. MG OYW is still a very good kit.

I've encountered another problem (balljoints hate me I swear) - this time with my almost completed HGUC Sazabi. This time it's the opposite, a plastic ball and polycap cup type of joint. Was connecting the legs to the hip joint, when one of them was extremely loose and kept falling off. I tried the super glue trick, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm not sure what the problem is - looking at it, I think it's possible that 1) the ball is too big, or 2) I unintentionally warped the polycap cup while forcing it onto the balljoint such that it can no longer grip well onto the ball. Any ideas?
EDIT: Realized that the problem isn't just that the ball joint is loose - the polycap just doesn't fit the ball. Just sanded off a bit off the ball, will try another layer of superglue and see how it goes. It's annoying the hell out of me, just when I was so happy to complete my Sazabi.
