00:00Okay, so if you've been staring at a straight-built Gunpla that looks like shiny plastic and wishing it had
00:04a little grit, some rust, some story to it, then you're in the right place, because today I'm running down
00:09the top 5 Gundam model weathering and marker tools, and honestly, a couple of these are so cheap it's kind
00:14of ridiculous.
00:16Starting with the one I'd hand to literally anybody who's never panel-lined or weathered a kit before, the DSPIE
00:22Soft Tip Water Based Acrylic Marker Kit in the basic metallic and fluorescent range.
00:27It's $5.11.
00:31Soft Tip means you actually get control around small details instead of flooding apart, and the water-based formula is
00:37forgiving, you can smudge it, blend it, or wipe it off before it fully cures.
00:42Nearly 4,900 people have bought this thing and it's sitting at a perfect 5 stars, which for hobby paint
00:48is genuinely rare.
00:50Then there's the bigger sibling, the DSPIE Soft Tip Kit in the full basic, metallic, and fluorescent color range at
00:56$17.06.
00:59Same soft tip, same easy water-based cleanup, but you're getting a much wider spread of colors, which matters way
01:04more than you'd think once you start doing thrusters, vents, beam saber effects, and little color accents that make a
01:10kit red as painted rather than straight out of the box.
01:13Over 4,700 sold, 5-star average.
01:17If you already know you're going to stick with the hobby, skip the small set and go straight here.
01:22Third one is a little more specialized, and it's the DSPIE MK, MKM, MKF water-based soft tip marker set
01:29for $6.73.
01:32These lean hard into metal colors, which is exactly what you want for inner frames, joints, weapons, and any bare
01:38mechanical surface.
01:40The trick with these is you can lay them down and then dry brush or lightly buff over them to
01:44knock back the shine, and suddenly a dull gray inner frame looks like actual machined metal.
01:49For under $7 and over 4,000 units sold, that's an easy yes.
01:54Now, if you want actual weathering and not just color, the Galaxy Pro 6 color model weathering pastel set at
02:00$11.12 is where I'd start.
02:03This is real rust, dust, soot, and battle damage in a stick, you scrape a little pigment onto a brush
02:08or even your fingertip and work it into panel lines, edges, feet, and exhaust areas.
02:13You can build it up slowly and seal it when you're happy.
02:17About 1,500 people have picked this up and it holds a 5-star rating, and it's the single fastest
02:22way to make a kit look like it's been through a war.
02:26Last up is the Alexan AJ0111 through AJ0116 Military Model DIY Toolset, a weathering and rust effect stencil kit for
02:34$9.69.
02:36This one's the secret weapon for anyone who wants repeatable patterns, rust streaks, chipped paint, number markings, camouflage shapes, instead
02:43of freehanding everything with a sponge.
02:46You lay the stencil, dab your pigment or paint, lift it, and you get consistent results every single time.
02:52It's got a 4.9 rating across about 1,400 sales, and it pairs perfectly with the pastels from number
02:594.
03:00Grab both and you've got a complete weathering setup for around $20.
03:05Alright, that's the list every link is down in the description below, so go check the prices yourself and pick
03:10whatever fits your budget.
