there are many kinds of ways to do battle damage, and I'm going to be teaching you guys how to do an easy and simple battle damaging process for your gundams. though i usually do the cutter type battle damage, there is also what i call melting. melting are used for slightly small bullet holes that actually got to melt through the gundam's armor.

materials:

>barbecue stick/ nail

>candle

>lighter (or anything you could use to light the candle up)

>cutter

so to start this tutorial, find a logical spot for this type of battle damage. because you surely can't have bullet holes under a shield right? so that is step one, find an area to damage.

lets start with prepping the materials that would be used in this tutorial.



light up a candle and burn the point of a barbecue stick.


blow the flame off the stick once it starts to glow red. if its not red, your wrong.


 while the tip is still hot, carefully pierce the area where you want the damage to be done.


slowly remove the stick once the hole's depth is to your liking.
remove any excess melted plastic and clean off and remaining amber.



using a cutter, draw some scratch lines in the direction where the bullet came from.
(if its was shot from the left, make scratches on the left side of the hole)

finished.


 more bullet holes on the shoulder armor. once properly dry brushed, you will see the bullet's effect.

finished product.
