As promised, here’s the review for “1/100 Gundam Kyrios” ^^ Just finished it today.
Kyrios took me a full 2 days to finish it. This time I’d like to challenge myself and tried to get Kyrios as close as the Manual. Lots of painting and colouring to do, also panel lines. Did my best, and I’m glad how it turns out ^^ After all, Kyrios is my favourite Gundam from Gundam OO series and probably the most cool looking Gundam for Mobile Armor type :p
On with the shots and lots of it ^^
Action shots~
Close up~
Mobile Armor~
Now just have to wait for Virtue/Nadleeh to complete the collections

nice panel lines done! what did you use to colour the shoulder armour and the orange parts black? ^^;
February 3, 2008 at 2:43 pm |
Thx ^^;
I use special “Gundam Marker” for Gundam 00 series kit to colour. I ordered it through Hobby Search. I think it was 1,200 yen per set.
1 set has 6 colour markers; Light Blue, Yellow, Red, Grey, White, and Dark Blue. Specially made for Gundam 00 since they have all the colours needed, atleast for the 1st 4 main gundams ^^ They probably gonna release a 2nd set for it.
Actually I didn’t know they had this special markers for sale until I read it from “Hobby Japan” magazine ^^;

February 3, 2008 at 10:12 pm |
Sure~

thx!
February 18, 2008 at 8:39 pm |
Lol, I never tried it before, but it probably could, seeing Kyrios has quite a broad back when in Mobile Armor mode ^^;
Yeh, just markers for most of the stuffs. No fancy stuffs used ( ^ _ ^ )/
March 4, 2008 at 2:32 pm |
go buy d virtue!!! wna wait for ur review b4 i buy mine. XD
March 4, 2008 at 5:22 pm |
No worries :p
Planning to get it this coming weekend together with the MG Nu – MCV ^^
March 10, 2008 at 10:57 pm |
U use markers? how did u do it without leaving the marker strokes?
March 11, 2008 at 12:17 am |
Yep, only “Gundam Markers” ^^ I used masking tapes around the edges to prevent the excess markers. Other way is I could just scrub it off using a hard edge, like a ruller, but not too hard.
The marker is easy to wipe off, so I don’t really have any trouble doing it ^^
March 25, 2008 at 11:41 am |
Nice review/pictures. I just ordered one on eBay, can’t wait to get it.
This one and Virtue are the best looking ones since they “transform” unlike Exia and Dynames.

@Nxt
Welcome~ ( ^ _ ^ )/
Thx ^^; Yep, Kyrios does looks good, and I can’t wait to start building my Virtue XD
October 26, 2008 at 9:43 pm |
hey yo, your painting looks great. i would like to know if you’ve stuff up while u were painting. cuz some of the holes are really small and wonder how u paint it in. since the marker is a bit thick
October 31, 2008 at 10:44 pm |
@Vine
If you are referring to the Panel lines, there are markers specifically to do that with 1mm in thickness, although any pen with that thickness should be fine. It doesn’t have to be special ^^;
As for other colouring, I use Gundam Markers, which you can be bought from any Gundam related Hobby stores ^^
December 2, 2008 at 7:03 am |
hey i just ordered this one, Dynames and exia and i was wondering besides those special gundam markers what else could be used in substitution, the fine point sharpies? and along the lines of what use used. this would be very helpful ^ ^
December 4, 2008 at 12:30 pm |
@Cloudx92
Yep, you don’t have to use special Gundam Markers to do those ^^ As long as you have a fine point marker with diameter of 0.1mm, it’ll be fine ^^
December 22, 2008 at 5:20 pm |
Hey, wcloudxkumo, may I ask what colour did you use for panel lining? Black or Grey? I used a black gundam marker for my 1/100 destiny gundam, and the result was horrible. I don’t want to repeat the same mistake on my Kyrios Gundam.
December 24, 2008 at 12:34 am |
@ALJ
I used black marker for the panel lining ^^
December 24, 2008 at 8:09 pm |
hey hey, for your kyrios how do u make the grey so dark? i have the same marker as u but is not as dark as yours. and how long can one gundam marker last?
December 24, 2008 at 8:36 pm |
oh ye for the shoulder is it black or grey? lt looks like black =s
December 25, 2008 at 10:23 am |
hey i like your work, is really awesome. i would like to know how you make your grey so dark? i have the same colour marker set as yours but my grey isnt that dark. did u use black marker by anychance ? beside panel lining.
January 7, 2009 at 3:27 pm |
@Yahmeenlillah
It actually is Grey colour. I think it’s because of the lightening that makes it darker ^^;
@Vin
Which marker set did you use? The grey colour I used comes from the “Gundam 00” set of markers ^^
No other black colour used except for panel lining ^^
January 11, 2009 at 3:13 am |
hmm, i used the 00 2nd marker set, the colour is still the same, M81 i think. i checked. but my grey is really light, mind teaching me?=D
January 11, 2009 at 8:59 am |
I think it’s too difficult to me.I don’t have gunpla, but I have a Armored Core NX-02 TELLUS.It’s really a bad experience:.I can’t cut off the part well from board,and made them together too difficult!
may be I have poor ability in this field.I will try again when I have more spare time XD
January 13, 2009 at 9:30 pm |
@Vin
Hmm, weird. It should bring out the same colour. One thing that I could think of is the number of strokes/layers that you apply when using the marker. Did you only coloured it once? or have you tried to wait for the 1st layer of colour to dry, and then add another layer on top of it? ^^
That’s what I usually do though, 2-3 layers ^^
January 14, 2009 at 4:57 am |
Hey, great job with the model! I just got my GP03S and it’s my first model in years, and I was wondering if you could answer a few questions on painting?
Do you paint all of your pieces? If not what makes you paint ones vs. others?
Do you paint the pieces while they’re still in the tree, or do you snip them out and then do it?
I’ve never done panel lines before and I picked up the ultra fine Gundam Marker to do so and I was just wondering if there is any special way of using the Gundam Marker?
Thanks a bunch in advance and I’ll keep checking your site often to see some more stuff!
January 26, 2009 at 2:05 am |
@Forehand
Thx ^^;
I don’t paint all my Gunpla, but I tried to ^^; As for painting, I usually do it when they are still on the runners, but it depends, really ^^
As for Gundam Marker, there isn’t really much skill needed for panel lining. It’s not that hard. Just try to be careful when you are doing it though. They are easily wipe-able ^^
October 15, 2009 at 10:39 pm |
hi there.. i have this type of gundam but cheper one, 1/144 scale ^^;

May 8, 2012 at 1:25 pm |

May 8, 2012 at 5:16 pm |
All markers~
June 1, 2012 at 1:13 pm
Thanks! will start building mine after Dynames 🙂 Thou I’ve search some local sellers here in the PH for the Gundam Marker 00 set#1 and they informed that Bandai already stopped manufacturing the set. Is this true? 😀
