How To: Panel lining - Gunpla Tutorials 

Thanks for sharing!

I started using washes too lately, its really nice to be able to just clean with some water!

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

You’re not the first one to tell how hard is to find some of this products in the USA… I am actually wondering if it could be a good idea to open an online shop, I have easy access to a lot of really good items. Let’s see, maybe in the future there will be some news! Thanks also for your kind words!

@@TeaandGunpla I would at the very least suggest that, if possible, you do some sort of Amazon linking to the items you recommend. Any sort of partner program sounds like a smart idea. I think that Ray Studio Panel Line Eraser was the only item I couldn't find on Amazon. I found a similar product, but it was made of plastic and I'm going to guess low quality.

Good news my friend! I found on eBay this eraser pen from Dspiae, which is another great brand, that can be shipped from Texas. I hope it can help: www.ebay.com/itm/186064869010?itmmeta=01HZR0JDP95G8PZS6GNBAZCZ7D&hash=item2b52549692:g:0OgAAOSwN85k9oLd&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HvaiZFrMrRbAWRP2j0WvIwRgT2BFPvoXShDmXfJWndKQLxqjShoNZeE76Q2M3Kd4KQvUlj0Wu21DHBBrhnQebktxWB%2FHa9yjjETtwZq76VP1pEpdcsfK5E29oH86gd3Dmqvz7I3O5hS2yWMN2sjdEnQ04OvaWzD7lPwmvwAEg8xsoBN%2Fe6Us3MraqmHB%2B8ANpfsc6Q%2FVvfMwGe%2F%2BEqlNL4Bsoepki5eYig8z9ti3pHRDCuB2btCX8hE4afthLe7zyDptmh61f8OwYLZQOWUPY2plU3MxVpDMdUt6yz9cy8u%7Ctkp%3ABFBMnNvJgP5j @detrickward

Glad you enjoyed it!

Lighter fluid works for the Tamiya panel liner. It won’t clean Mr. Hobby Weathering Color properly. You will need to get the Mr. Color Thinner

I answered you on your other comment on the painting tutorial

I know about the Gundam Markers, but I’ve never been too happy with the results. That’s why I decided not to include them in this tutorial.

@@TeaandGunpla same at first but when I learned how to properly use it I get the same results as like applying a tamiya paint. It just takes time patience and a really steady hand. For beginners its the best option that they can use.

Maybe I’ll give them another shot. Could be an idea for an extra video on other ways to panel line!

Usually 5 to 10 minutes. It really depends on the temperature and humidity of the surroundings. A good way to understand if the liquid is dry is to look at the piece it under a bright light. If it’s not shiny anymore you can start cleaning.

Hi, you should first apply a gloss coat (like the bosny 190) before panel lining with Tamiya, to make sure the plastic does not crack. Once the panel liner is dry you can apply the flat clear 191 without issues. Make sure you don’t spray too much of it and keep it at a good distance. I always used Tamiya or Mr. Weathering color as panel liners, which are the best in the category. You could try also the Gundam Markers, they are really easy to use. But I think that the result is a bit less nice compared to the others.

@@TeaandGunpla thanks!.. unfortunately the clear (no.190) bosny is out of stock in my country. Can I use the matt one for finishing and top coating as well?

You can it but I would not advise you to do it. A gloss coat will give a flat surface to work on, so both the panel lining and especially the clean up will be easier. The matte is instead more rough and you risk to not be able to clean properly the smudges. Maybe check if you can find a different brand like Mr. Hobby glossy topcoat

@@TeaandGunpla Yeah , I ordered Mr hobby gloss and matt coats now.

In my opinion they are top notch products. Let me know if everything turns out ok

I have not been using them too much. They are indeed great for beginners due to their easy use but I feel that the result is not as crisp as the liquid panel liners.

@@TeaandGunpla thanks for your honest opinion, I'm indeed a beginner, just done 2 models til now, I'll continue using them until I feel I need something better.

No worries. Remember that there is no right or wrong in Gunpla. If you’re happy with the markers keep using them! And welcome to the hobby :)

@@TeaandGunpla thanks, and thanks for your awesome videos.

Thank you for watching them!

Which one are you talking about? Apart from the cracking of the Tamiya I never had any issues with the others
