New builder. Just did my third kit today. Thank you so much for the tutorial! Much appreciated!

Do i need to do coating before panel lining ?

[@DeanreyjamesAPONO]

Is it alright to apply the pour type gundam markers directly to the kit with no top coat at all or what so ever? Like apply it directly to bare plastic?

[@sven3390]

From what I understand the pour type markers are sace on PS (polystyrene) plastic, but not ABS.

[@TheHambo4]

Good job Adam.

Hi kinda new in gunpla building and i stumble upon panel lining, Anyways if i bought a tamiya panel liner, like the one you use in this video, can i use it the freshly bought tamiya panel liner as it is?

[@ulrika8198]

You could, but Tamiya Panel Liner isn't very recommended on very thin crooks because it eats on the plastic and makes it brittle, so it could break the part of your Gundam. Top coating clear can protect the plastic before panel lining with Tamiya. Personally, I use Micron Sakura pens and Reaper MSP washes to panel line. I'm gonna buy and test the Gundam Marker pour type because it's easier and faster to panel line.

Honestly I never used the eraser marker. Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud works just as well. Also for the Tamiya Panel liner. Also NEVER use Tamiya accent color or those Gundam flow type markers on unprimed/non-topcoated ABS plastic (check the runner or booklet to see if it is ABS). It'll shatter if you use too much. Ruined a few models (my poor HMM Liger Zoid 😭for example) like that before I found out what caused it. You can glue it back together but it still sucks.

There's a reason why the marker says "do not use on ABS plastic" in big bold letters on the package

[@Zeitgeist6]

@@joaogomes9405 Depends. My markers just have a big blurb of Japanese on them and I can't read Japanese. Besides who reads that (the instructions on markers I mean)?

[@joaogomes9405]

@@Zeitgeist6 It says in english, in big bold letters, "Do not used on ABS plastic, do not use on painted surfaces" on the plastic package the marker comes in.

Never seen an aussie/new zealander white guy into in this gunpla hobby. Nice!

[@demenoid13]

at 5.35 which exact marker is that?

[@joaogomes9405]

GM302 grey pour tip marker. The black one is the GM301

[@vidfreak727]

So this is what the real touch markers are for?

[@DavidLopez-ep6tv]

i dont think those are real touch but rather pour type. real touch markers have white barrels and a marker tip on each end.

[@Brodiesix]

I was under the impression that panel liner should be applied after a gloss coat as to not make the plastic brittle? Excluding the markers.

[@vcommandarv5916]

Thats for ABS plastic

[@joaogomes9405]

Don't bother with the eraser marker. For the same price, you can get a big bottle of isopropyl alcohol, which does the same thing, lasts much longer and also has a ton of other uses.

What happened to your thumb?

[@omegacon4]

Panel lining is useful if you want to ruin a perfectly good gundam.

lol what

[@Josh-vh9fw]

Gundam markers are trash they make Ur gunpla brittle and snap almost instantly if Ur gonna paint and top coat u might as well use something better then these anyway

[@MrSuperalan99]

its fine if u topcoat before

[@Zeitgeist6]

Wrong. The flow type ones and Tamiya Accent color break ABS plastic if you haven't primed/topcoated it, but the normal fine liner ones work just fine on bare plastic.

[@Josh-vh9fw]

@Zeitgeist6 how was it wrong then buddy u just elaborated on what I said u fool

[@joaogomes9405]

No they don't. Pour type markers can crack plastic, but only ABS plastic. They work perfectly fine on normal plastic, and the fine type markers work on all plastic with no issues.
