Very good!

Looking great!
However, brushes > Gundam markers, although enamel paints (and probably Gundam Marker Paint) > acrylic paint for this purpose.

Markers are easier to

Markers are easier to control than brushes, and faster for big areas. It's those nooks and crannies that are kinda hard with markers. Like the small engine bits, I used my black brush-marker to paint, even though the marker ink isn't the same as Gundam marker paint (it's more washable and kinda smudges DX)

The best results for large areas are supposedly got with spraying, but it's such a hassle not to mention expensive. Larger brushes are the cheap alternative. Super small ones for details.

expensive

yeah, spraying is expensive and messy, even though it looks like a lot of fun.
