For snap builders lacquer thinner is fine, but be careful advising using lacquer thinner for cleaning up in general, it's going to make new painters cry. On painted kits, lacquer-based thinner will eat through lacquer, enamel and acrylic paints. Better to use the same type of thinner based on the type used for inking the panel lines, the Tamiya panel liners are enamel type, so use enamel thinner or lighter fluid. it won't damage the plastic if applied with control and don't let the paint and thinner seep in between the plastic or joints, cos then they won't be able to evaporate and then damage/crack the plastic. It's not enamel paint or thinner that's the issue, it's how and how much and where you apply.

Used to build lots of gunpla 20+ years ago in my early teens and got back into it (transitioning from making motorcycle plastic models). For panel lining, best bit of advice I can give is to use an eraser (the ones you rub out pencil lines with) and they clean up real well, and no damage to the plastic. For the tighter spots I use the Tombow mechanical erasers (Ultra-fine 2.3mm) and it does the job pretty well. For precision, you can use the craft knife to scrape some of the paint but you can easily scratch the plastic so use this technique with caution.

I have to say as a builder for almost 10 years now, I find grey, light grey, and brown panel liner to be the best universal colors. I use to use a lot of black when I first started out for those more exaggerated strong panel lines. Over the years I have become more of a professional builder and find grey/light grey to give me the subtle panel line details you should expect to see from more professional model builders even beyond gunpla. I would suggest anyone to take the time to watch professional model makers in other things like ships, planes, and tanks who have been building for decades. They have such a wealth of knowledge beyond what most gunpla modelers have.

For anyone looking for an alternative to thinners for removing excess panel line ink, lighter fluid works equally well. With one caveat, it doesn't make the plastic brittle and break. I use the lighter fluid used to light charcoal briquettes and it's been great. Other builders have known to use Zippo lighter fluid exclusively for panel line removal. As for the black liner on white pieces debate; the reason some builders avoid it is because it can leave a shadow/smudge that won't go away no matter how much you try to remove it. The gray one doesn't have this problem. I only use brown for yellows and oranges.

My first kit I used a mechanical pencil and it looked kinda bleh. Then I got some gundam panel liner fluid types and they're pretty good although they smudge super easy, making them kind of a pain to handle while they're still wet. But, they're super easy to clean up once dry and what you use to clean it is pretty flexible. I use Meths which is just a regular ass cleaning product, it's cheap as only a couple bucks for a litre. More recently I've been using the Sumire style gundam markers, they're cool. Definitely pick them up if you're wanting to line areas that aren't actual panel lines, more so edges. Because sometimes the paint just won't flow along parts. On top of their sheer versatility they're also super easy to clean up on UNPAINTED PARTS. All you need is to just rub the excess with an eraser or finger or if you wanna go super sweaty, a toothpick to really get sharp detail. But, do not, under any circumstances use them on painted parts you will not be able to clean them at all. They are purely for straight builds or before a top coat finish. My recommendation if you're just starting out, get a black Sumire style gundam panel liner. They're the easiest to work with just being a pen really, and they're cheap. Don't need anything except a finger to clean them and they can look really good

That quill pen technique looks very interesting but I think I’ll stick to Gundam markers for my panel lining for now. Sure they’re not ideal, but they get the job done and they’re pretty easy to use. I mostly use a combination of the pour-type markers and the fine liners. The pour types are used for details and fiddly bits and the fine liners are for bolder lines and minor bits of shading. Sometimes I’ll also use the Gundam Real Touch markers for panel lining with a bit more color. For example I did most of the lines on my HGUC Ground Gundam with the Real touch GM402 Grey 2. The slightly brownish grey fits better with the grounded/gritty character of that Mobile Suit.

I find that a calligraphy brush pen (mine's from Pentel) is a relatively cheap way to get very dark, and fairly thin ink into the panel lines. It's easily removable via a wooden toothpick and the darkness of the ink can somewhat be controlled by squeezing the plastic ink well a bit more for darker lines.

The tamiya panel liner itself can make the abs plastic of inner frames become brittle as well. I think oil paints and oil paint thinner might do that to? One way to be able to use any kind of panel liner is to use a gloss top coat first, even if it is just over the plastic. You're probably always gonna want to top coat over paint before panel lining to make sure you don't stain your paint or take the paint off when removing excess liner.

For almost all of builds, mainly that of RG and a couple of MG's, I've used the Gundam Panel Liners. I had to get a couple more because the tips ended up breaking apart because of how much pressure I used to apply, especially with the gray marker. There is a good use to using those markers; and that is weathering. Make it messy to give it that dirty look that a real life tank would have. That was how I used to do them, but I stopped doing it cause the amount of q-tips used was getting ridiculous! Now I've kind of switched over this felt tip marker and the difference is just amazing! This tutorial was really something. The quill is certainly a nice bonus that I would love to try out in future builds along with Tamiya panel line colors. This is why I love building. There really is no limit when it comes to building a model. And the stuff the people come up with to make models look more dynamic is just amazing.

Although the enamel panel line is brilliant I will advise caution, especially to new builders. enamel panel line will make your plastic brittle and in small parts or parts that have a tight connection. you may experience cracks, hairline, eventually leading to splitting, chipping and damage beyond repair. from what I have heard use a gloss coat to seal the plastic and then use an enamel panel line process making sure your coat is not enamel based, use lacquer as it works best. you can then dull the coat with a matte coat or to the finish you desire. If your a budget builder acrylic paint thinned with water to a well-flowing consistency as you see in the panel liner above should do, let it dry and remove the excess with toothpick or fingernail, the paint should remove easily as it's thinning should also reduce its adhesiveness.

I didn't know there was a grey haha, I'm still a beginner for panel lining, I bought a black colour panel liner with the brush on it. If I I want it like silver colour, I usually put a one drop of ink on it and then I would like use a tissue or something and rub the excess with it to make it a bit smear which gives it a bit grey lookie🤣🤣

Wow. Just found this whole hobby and it’s mind boggling. I think I may do one at one point in time but I definitely want to panel line. Although on say a top line PG do you still panel line? Doesn’t it come with enough detail?

I'm kind of wishing I had watched this before I bought some Gundam markers, but it should be ok, these are just some HG kits, well, I also have an RG Zaku II and an SD Zaku II. I have an HG RX-78 and Heavyarms built already, and a Gframe Zaku II and Gframe Aegis Gundam.

I prefer using Copic markers, far more color options for the kits including green and purple. You can purchase them in various tip sizes, though 0.05 is the preferred size for getting into those hard to reach areas. Paper towel is all that is needed for clean-up.

Do you think it would be easier and better if you panel line the entire runner first and then assemble it?

Depends on how you like to panel line. Generally, I panel line last because the less panel lining I "need" to do, the better, and seeing the kit fully complete helps me visualize what I want panel lined

I noticed you were using Tamiya paint; yet you chose Mr. Color Thinner -- any reason why you chose not to use Tamiya thinner? And on a model ship deck to resemble wood; what base color and wash would you recommend to resemble teak wood? (I'm building the Battleship Bismarck from Agroa Models which is why I'm asking . . if it helps, the deck is a weird pink/flesh, or very washed out brown; but definitely does not look like wood.) - Thanks

Mr. Color is what I use for lacquer paints, so it's pretty much the main thinner I buy. I haven't tried Tamiya's thinner before, but I'd imagine it should work just as well

If the plastic cracks from the Testers that is either 1) user error and the only way i see this happening is if you just left it sit there for days on end with out being cleaned or the more likely cause 2) garbage plastic.

Depends on how much other areas utilize black throughout - I'm biased, I love grey outlining On color or white paint - Why isn't there gold or silver?
