This is really stupid but if you have a wal-mart or hobby store
buy some acrylic paint. I did this with no prep and it was more of an experiment.
Brush the black acrylic onto the model, covering the section you want to have panel lines on.
Let it dry for a couple of minutes.
Then take a cloth or paper towel and gently wipe the black acrylic off.
Water and alchohol will remove any goof ups completly. and you can just redo it.
It leaves really good panel lines.
I compared it with the build up on the forums (the one that used a gundam pen for every line
working inches at a time) and the "lines" I was producing looked the same as his.
Of course this technique would not work, if you use primer and re-paint the pieces.
This did not seem necessary with this model to me since everything was molded in color.
Hey guys,
just got my very first of macross model kit.
Macross Frontier VF25 Alto Custom with fast pack.
I got a question, after looking through the kit, i notice there are some hard to reach sections for panel lining, i usually use Gundam GM02 marker. But it seems some sections are kinda impossible.
May i ask how should i go about it ? Mind sharingsome tips ?
Oh yea i got a few of this paints i usually use for painting model kits.
