How To Panel Line Scribing | Tutorial Tuesday

[@silverhand.johnny]

Truth be told, your video was the one who awoken my sleeping love for gundams. now that I bought my first gunpla I'm really thankful that you created this tutorials for a lot of beginners like me. thank you so much!

[@saxonian6634]

I was today years old when I learned that after years of holding scale models in a padded vice and performing weird yoga poses with a metal rule and a scribing tool, that this method was even a thing.......I don't build Gunpla, I ended up here via a winding KZbin rabbit hole, but I'm delighted I found this. As someone in a different branch of the wider modelling hobby, thank you!

[@adhityaza8693]

i was looking for scribing tutor for today, more than 5 video still can't satisfy me, then studiog upload new video about scribing tutor and it answer my question. what a coincidence

[@crossbones8956]

Same!!

[@cybersteampunk]

Nice! This tutorial is what I need. I just started scribing this morning and only used a hobby knife and masking tape. I prayed to the scribing gods too lol. Again, concise and full of information. Best tip, "don't be afraid to start".

[@Manlima]

Thank you so much for this video tutorial. Two things to consider: 1. We love the flow of information. Super smoothly edited. 2. Not only you give instructions about how to do it but also you give extra tips and how to fix common mistakes ...and those points make this tutorial a very good one. Thanks! Also we want to tell that we have started crafting gunpla a few months ago and we are on the point of buying a chisel and we found the one that you show for newbies on this videos and that has giving us the conficende to buy it and starting to panel-line our next build. Thank you so much!

[@chuckymaynard96]

So, another thing you can do to fix damage, mistakes or blemishes, is snip off small bits of the spru in the color of the part and mix them in a small amount of extra thin liquid cement. If you're removing seem lines between parts, you want it kinda thin, but if you're filling gaps or fixing scribe mistakes you're going to want it to be more plastic than glue. It creates a kind of putty in the exact color of the kit. Just apply some to the problem area, let it dry, and sand it flush. And boom, good as new.

[@Schjoenz]

If the groove is too deep, You can also use tamiya cement to melt down some frames of the same colors (that's why I don't throw them away) and use it as a putty. That way, you don't need to paint the parts just to hide the crazy mistakes you've made.

[@NzStudio00]

I've never been so confident after watching this.

[@ilink06]

Great video. Tips from watching the video and you didn't mention. While scribing, have a pivot point. The hand that's doing the scribing, the last or last 2 finger can pivot or rest on the other hand holding the parts, in this way, the movement will be greatly reduce and mistakes will be lesser. (As shown in your video)

[@johngonzales4342]

I love your tutorial videos. They are very informative. I am building my first Gunpla and before my tools arrive on the mail, I'm gonna make sure that I learn enough information.

Dude, this was a great guide. Super informative and useful.

[@PlamoTherapist]

I should have rewatched this before scribing. I think one thing that should be emphasized is how LIGHT those first few passes are. AND TRUST YOUR TAPE!

It was a good site before they started sponsoring people. Once everyone found out about it... well, they ended up like all the other ones.

[@moosemonger6967]

@@Shin_Lona How is it bad for them to have more revenue coming in? Would that not mean they have more money to put into more products for us to buy?

@@moosemonger6967 If that was the case, they wouldn't be out of the product, would they? I might buy some random stuff, but not if they don't have the main item I'm looking for. No purchase.

Amazing tute! Has given me the confidence to try it out A couple of qs; So you don't need to hold the blade parallel to the line? and, are there any tips or specific techniques for scribing on heavily curved surfaces? Thanks!

[@nikogummy]

"Give that surface a good old scrub~ Heh yeah boi~" Memes aside, great tutorial. Definitely simple enough to follow and instructions seem crystal clear 👌🏻

[@cowdogg3085]

Thanks for the tips!! Now I don't think I'll have a problem trying to scribe my part. 👍👍keep up the great work an i am looking forward to your next video.

Good stuff thanks for making this. The bit about the joining ends of the lines was actually new info I havent heard before so nice on that.

[@justindavisphotography]

Nice tutorial. Hope to try my hand at it for the first time soon. I was inspired by the results you got with the janky home made scrubber from a pin when yours broke. I’ll give that a try too!

I did not know what to do before i saw this tutorial, you are awesome!

Love your videos mate, I'm pretty new to this hobby and need to learn a lot, and I mean A LOT cuz I'm busy with my work and won't be having much time to spend with my kits (I only built like 5 kits so far) but I want to make every kit that I build next look dashing, your vids are super helpful 0w0)

this is awesome i love how he explain the step by step process in detail!!!

[@Dawnwesker6896]

usually i create it from mix of cutting leftover runner from parts (usually belong and mr.hobby or tamiya cement in glass bottle or metal bowl...then apply it on those parts....this way also can be a solution for leftover runner and if you don't wanna repaint it just fixing some damage, like wrong cutting, nub mark holes, etc...

[@Shin_Lona]

PRO-TIP! This is great advice, builders. Don't sleep on this one. The best filler is the SAME PLASTIC AS THE PART.

im a little late but im very happy this was made because its really going to help me with my business im starting

[@elvenditty3281]

Thank you! loved the tuto. I'm super excited to put these into practice

[@fallen8282]

the one thing I am still super confused about is how ya come up with all dem panel lines as they pretty much always look so FREAKING PERFECT XO

[@RadicalEagle]

The best way to do it is to study them. StudioG himself will look at other people’s work to get ideas. The more you think about panel lines in relation to the geometry of the panel/part (lines are usually parallel and intersect at specific angles), and the more you practice, the easier it will be to figure out where you want to put your lines. It takes a lot of practice.

[@monsterforge884]

Excellent tips! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@filip8985]

omg like a year or so ago there were like no tutorials on this stuff, so when i had to figure it out on my own to make my PG rx-78-2 into the ver3.0 one, made a lot of mistakes. This video is great btw, but if you want some quick tips, DONT RUSH, dont go "oh its like a little line ill free hand it" because it will go at a slight angle and look terrible, also scribe very lightly, otherwise even if you have tape it might be a little wonky and if you do it hard the first time you cant correct it. id highly recommend the tamiya scriber 2, its wonderful, maybe if you want some finer lines then the ones in this video look better for that

[@SanjayKumar-en7tm]

[@gmoney1664]

Can I check, why do you polish with the 3000 grit, what does polishing do, other than make it shiny?

[@edwinleong9329]

How do u make sure the panel line is identical both side? Eg: both legs, both hands. Or you just eyeball it?

[@9S0dX]

Plan them first, using edges and existing lines and measure the scribbing from there

[@placross]

either make a template from pla plate or use 2 masking tape to mirror the lines

[@ashpitcher3]

Thanks! Great info, great presentation.

[@gunplaglutton6099]

Very well explained and demonstrated. Thanks for this video! Keep grinding!

[@moonlightbuterfly]

there are various chisel size, from 0.1 to 1mm. Is there a tip on which one to use on certain situation?

[@placross]

depends on the impact you want on the kit. In general I would say use the original panel line size on the kit as a reference then go up/down by a couple of mm

[@aryritoladika214]

I find your video very educative. But I find hard time to design a new part like combining color, make panel line, or other designs, do you like an apps or planner that you can share? Thank you

[@pwk1983]

good tutorial, I will normally put them into ultrasonic cleaner and it will get rid of all the sanding particles stuck in between the panel line.

[@t-macpie1410]

any tips for curvy part like Gyan /Dom(leg-part) and how to correctly use guide plate.

[@gudu2gunpla454]

What size of panel lining scriber do you suggest for basic and beginner scribing? Just want to deepen and make the panel line clearer.

[@notjustrafi404]

WOW BRO YOUR TUTORIAL SO GOOD THANKS!!!!

[@kraudostudio]

Thanks for this tutorial man! It is just great!! I am going to start customizing my gunpla and was wondering, are you using any type of specific blade? Like Madworks Chisel Blade or Tamiya...? At least the holder seems like Tamiya Modelers Knife. Also I would want to know the width of it as I am having trouble with a 1/100 MG and wanted to make it as clean as yours dude!

[@ceadeus1178]

Thank you so much for all the tips

[@StudioGundam]

No problem! This is what I have learned so far and have no problem at all sharing them :)

[@oppouddin2461]

Nice guide bro, bro after this can you make some guide for painting?

[@josephcarlo3112]

Do you have any recommendations for people who struggle to scribe? People who feel like the pieces of a kit are just too small? I struggle big time even building some kits

[@jefryrandallsinulingga375]

but sometimes I still confuse to make some nice line design. Can you tech us the way how to make a great design of scribing line gunpla?

[@StudioGundam]

Ah I don't actually have great designs yet but what I do is I always refer to pictures on google or Instagram for awesome scribing designs :)

[@placross]

in general the panel lines should be 90 degrees or more if it has a pointy bit just add another line on the tip so it's not pointy anymore.

[@OfficialWes]

You really inspire me ! 🙌

[@ranid.p.6909]

9:58 i recently discovered the same method in using that basic type tamiya putty

[@irish_gunpla4064]

These videos are really helping the community 👍 I'm going to use these tips , looks like you are going to hit 40k soon and you only finished the 30k competition 😂 all well deserved 👏👏👏

[@FBI_Not]

Do you do your scribbing before or after the paint? If its before, wouldnt the paint will cover th custom scribbing. Sorry im new

[@Rashimotosan]

It's kinda hard to see how you apply the tape. Are you applying it alongside both sides of the lines? Just one? It would be nice to know specifically how to lay down tape in conjunction with the position of the lines.

[@reinaldtabudlo7002]

Hi sir, can you do a panel scribing video for a round part like z'gok. Thanks!

[@StudioGundam]

Definitely when I figure out a solid way to do that not involving too many steps 😃

[@SamaelMorningstar]

Thanks man. Awesome work.

[@neolabcustoms]

Things I've figured out today (my first day scribing): ABS plastic is way harder than styrene. Model kits are so easy and clean, things like Transformers figures that are shot in ABS plastic are harder, with much more resistance and the surface quality isn't as smooth. Also, maybe it is just the MIG tape I got (the only one my hobby shop had), but it WILL NOT stick to any type of curve...

[@johnayap6861]

I don't know if this is a stupid question but... can I design panel lines for a set of earbuds and case or a pair of shoes..?? if so, what are the techniques.??

[@johnvincent3877]

Hi! Budget modeler here! I was just wondering if I can use a regular scotch tape as a "starter alternative" for the panel lining tape?

[@StudioGundam]

Not really. However you can try out using two or three tapes stacked on each other to give it a thicker edge. But the problem is it's too soft of a material. But do try it out on a test piece as it might actually work! 😃

[@johnvincent3877]

Studio G came here late but I'll keep that in mind for my next kit :) Love your works!

[@SuperGamer-mt5oc]

Great video, very detailed. When you place the paneling tape over the area, is it placed along the traced lines or over the entire piece?

[@shromp_]

i think you put it only along the lines, so it can act as a guide for your chisel.

[@zahar_afiq4309]

Question. How do make sure that your scribe is symetrical?

[@hyp3rx312]

What's the scriber you are using, in your video, it only showed the scriber/chisel, what is the scriber you were using for the video

[@carlosgiles4585]

So when using panel line tape. Do you place the tape on the design or to the side of the design?

Hey studio g. Did you include the new scriber that you just mention?,In the description, i only find the set one not the one you using.

So why do you have to sand after you scribe the lines? Couldn't you just leave it? I can understand if you messed up and need to keep the surface smooth again. But what does sanding it after your done with the line do? Won't that slowly make the line go away and make it smooth again? Sorry I'm new to this hobby so hopefully this isn't a dumb question

[@Demon09-_-]

When you cut into it even if slowly normally you end up with like a burr of types on the edge of the new cut line. He's not sanding much the first passes with the 600 remove said tiny burr and the higher grits just work to make it smooth again.

[@lammie-858]

Hi often when panel lining, the line created by the ink drop is too thick for my liking and it can also get blemished. Can I use this panel line scribing technique instead, some modeler have their panel line super thin and clean and I was wondering is this is the technique.
