Gundam Marker: Shade Off Marker – Real Touch Blurring & Blending Pen (GM400)

Master the Art of Shading – Gundam Marker Shade Off Marker

Achieve professional-grade weathering and seamless color transitions with ease! Available now at Hobby Collectors Australia, the Gundam Marker Shade Off Marker (GM400)—also known as the "Blurring Pen"—is a specialized tool designed to complement the Real Touch Marker series. Rather than adding color, this marker acts as a blender, allowing you to soften harsh lines and create realistic, airbrushed-like effects on your model kits.

Whether you are aiming for a "battle-worn" look, subtle soot stains, or smooth gradients, the GM400 is essential for creating depth and realism. It is the perfect addition to the toolkit of any modeler working on Gundam (HG, RG, MG), Zoids, or other military-style plastic kits.

Product Highlights & Features:

• Realistic Blurring Effects: Expertly blends and diffuses the edges of marker lines, creating soft-edged transitions that mimic professional shading.
• Dual-Tip Design for Versatility: Equipped with a fine tip for precise edging and a broad tip for covering larger surfaces, giving you total control over your detailing.
• Safe Water-Based Formula: The water-based ink is safe to apply over your base paint jobs and allows for easy adjustments. Corrections can often be made with a standard eraser if needed!
• Perfect for Weathering: Use it to "shade off" Real Touch colors to simulate natural grime, oil leaks, or atmospheric wear-and-tear.
• Easy to Use: Simply apply your Real Touch color, then use the GM400 to blend the edges before the paint fully sets. It’s an effortless way for both beginners and pros to add a "pop" of realism to snap-builds.

Pro-Tip for Weathering:

Apply a small amount of a Real Touch Marker (like Grey or Brown) to the edges of your model, then immediately use the Shade Off Marker to pull and blur the color inward. This creates a natural-looking gradient that adds incredible mechanical depth to flat plastic surfaces.
