>>9356284Still need to get myself a GM Quel, real nice pic of it there monitor anon; way to make my attempt at holding off on two of these a little more difficult hahaha!
>Did you take a pic of the Marine before your repairs?Didn't take any myself, but I think my middleman took a few in case I was gonna attempt a exchange/reclaim request with Bandai again like with my Johnny Ridden Gelgoog. Will ask him to send them over.
>dull-tip bamboo toothpick to smoothen out the stress marks>Never heard of that technique, how does it work?Technique, I wish hahaha! Naw I'm just using the worn end of the toothpicks I've used to go over the panel-lines after I use the markers(almost the same thing as cotton swabs after the Tamiya panel line wash). Dull-tip is a bit softer on the plastic than my finger nail in this case, doesn't leave the slight scratch marks either; or can help buff the ones barely there.
