[@InfamousOpposite]

Love the style of the video. Seems like you've really thought about how you want your channel to appear and it's appreciated. Keep showing us gunpla how you think it can be done!

[@GunplaNewbie]

I appreciate that! Thank you. Yeah, I'm trying to find a style that I'm comfortable with and a style that people would enjoy as well.

[@dim1723]

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing about your special method. I use an ink pen and there are some very fine tips that will fit in your lines without pushing so hard. My secret weapon is gold or silver ink! It is shiny and dries like a metal finish in the lines.

[@Adrix_Zero]

Great video bro, keep up the good work

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thank you :D

[@bio-boosted]

Saw your link on the Facebook group page, cool video. I'm just coming back to gundam building after not building for a looong time. some good tips there I will try out.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Have fun! And thank you for watching :D

[@bigmecharigs869]

Awesome video!

[@GunplaNewbie]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shauqiharris2772]

My first time doing panel line don't look good but I still happy about the second time results.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Keep at it ! We all goes through the same process of slowly but surely improving our craft. We'll make it in the end :D Btw, I have an upcoming video on fixing mistakes. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it :)

[@noblord8643]

Gloss top coat is actually really helping applying 3rd cheap ass party water slide decal..

[@dykatran]

Yep you're not the only one who had problem with that panel line pen. Lately I've used a 000 brush and felt it's more comfortable.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Yeah. Looking back, I might advice against but some have gotten good results with it. Perhaps on a wider panel line then there's less risk of damaging a line.

[@vincentlawrence5956]

What about a weathering wash like they do with spaceship models and stuff like that

[@jaylonrobinson7092]

I gloss coat and then matte or dull coat to reduce shine

[@GunplaNewbie]

That's actually would be my go to approach as well!

[@jg_piece]

great video! i was just starting to learn detailing, this is a great help. btw, do i need to coat my kit before applying tamiya accent line? i've read it helps to protect the plastic to avoid being brittle in the future.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Hey thanks. If it's bare plastic then I would recommend that you top coat it first. Because it happened to mine. I figured some plastic are more prone to brittle or even crack.

[@jg_piece]

@@GunplaNewbie thank you very much! i'm binge watching your videos and your voice isn't annoying at all! keep up the good work!

[@GunplaNewbie]

@@jg_piece Thank you, sir. Ask away if there's any question :D

[@midnightbluez5]

I just recently purchased the same ink and pen to do some panel lining! Do u use the same panel line paint for air brush or is there a different type of paint? I Just recently started getting into pane lining/ custom some figures mostly transformers And your video is help! Thanks

[@GunplaNewbie]

I use the same type of tamiya enamel accent panel line paint to airbrush wide panel lines. But for main painting, I use lacquer paints. Be careful though, I'm not sure what type of paints are used on the figures and transformers. The enamel thinner might dissolve it.

[@takoza5396]

wel , i switch between a panel lining pen GM02 (gray) and Tamiya black , with the lil brush like you have

[@GunplaNewbie]

Yeah, I started with that and have been using that for over 2 years now. But I'm learning more application methods to suit different needs which offer more options ... How long did those bottles lasted for you ?

[@takoza5396]

@@GunplaNewbie i have yet to depleat it went true like...hmmm .. think 15kits stil plenty in it

[@GunplaNewbie]

@@takoza5396 yeah the mileage you get for the tamiya accent bottles are insane

Could you please post a link to the sensor cleaning cotton swab?

[@monkeydud6437]

For the life of me I can't find that lined scribing guide tape anywhere, got a link for that by chance?

[@GunplaNewbie]

Oh my where are you located at ? I'll search it up for you ..

[@GhostX42069]

When i use the pen the ink wont flow down

[@GunplaNewbie]

Yeah, I think the pen works on bigger kits but not very effective when used on thin/fine lines.

[@myrghifarry2381]

How do you avoid cracking when using enamel wash for panel lining? Sometimes it still happened to me even when I applied it before assembly.

[@GunplaNewbie]

Yeah, that's why I recommend gloss coating before panel lining and decal..that will protect the kit, allowing smoother flow of panel line paint and decals. It will also give you a smooth finish

[@samuelkurniawan1383]

@@GunplaNewbie so after coating > decals, panel line, did you top coat again?

[@GunplaNewbie]

@@samuelkurniawan1383 Yes, it's advisable to give it a final top coat (gloss/matte/semi) of your preference to seal everything up.

[@samuelkurniawan1383]

@@GunplaNewbie thanks man, you've made my day, one more question for metal build strike freedom, is it okay to coat it's innerframe with clear gloss, or just coat the plastic parts, and how much do I need for coating the whole things in Millilitre. Thx for advance.

[@GunplaNewbie]

@@samuelkurniawan1383 hmm I have no experience with metal builds. But top coating innerframe could make the parts tighter. Is it a 1/100 kit? Also are you using spray cans?

[@HiHoFai]

Oooooo.....

[@GunplaNewbie]

thanks man :D

[@criticalshiver]

Is a Gundam pen still good to use for panel lining ?

[@GunplaNewbie]

Assuming you meant Gundam markers. A lot of people do use gundam markers to panel line. However, I've never personally used it. But I did use Micron fine tipped pens as thin as 0.15mm. Even then, it's still not "fine" or "thin" enough for some panel lines. Even if it fits the panel line, I often find the finish not as fine or clean as the tamiya accent panel line method. I hope this answers your question.

[@criticalshiver]

@@GunplaNewbie yes it does thank you

[@tamasdohy1146]

does it work on lexan bodies?

[@GunplaNewbie]

I'm actually unsure if it does. I've never worked on those before. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Gotta link for the cotton buds?

Love the video... Check out out galaxy tools New panel liner pen on aliexpress its a even thinner I believe it's a 003m tip

[@GunplaNewbie]

Thanks for the heads-up ..I'll check it out

[@ulrika8198]

Might be too late and you have already found the answer, but the 'cracks' or 'dots' you see whenever you panel line with the fountain pen might not be from the fountain pain itself, but from the panel scribing chisels. I was watching several scribing tutorials and chisel reviews and I saw that using cheap scribing chisels might crack the plastic when you pass it instead of doing clean lines. It happened to me with a newer kit(Aerial). Update: My bad, I didn't see you're using BMC so yeah, the case I explained wasn't it. Maybe trying another fountain pen like Dspiae? I saw good reviews of it.
