A lot of professionals builders of kits (not just Gundam kits but a vary of all kinds of kits) use brown on red, orange on yellow, black on blue, and grey on white. And some use matching colors, like darker red on red, navy blue on blue or blue on light blue. This method is supposed to create the shadow of the part, like if you angle a red part, the panel lines would appear darker red as its recessed in the panel lines, so one puts darker red in the panel line, which still keeps the actual color of the part which is red in my example. Its like shadows in animes, you don't see orange on yellow in their hair, you see a darker tone yellow on the yellow, like a darker yellow color. But its that type of method.
Using your thumb is actually really good since the oil on your finger helps to remove the ink easily. Once you're done, just wash your hands and you're good! I do tend to use fine tip cotton buds to reach certain areas that my fingernails sucks at reaching though
Lt. Furno Don't listen to that guy. he doesn't build shit and is a known troll in the Gunpla Community. Just look at how passive-aggresive he tries to make it look like his way is better than yours
wow still relevant even 4 years back...i just started build gundam recently since the pandemic, stuck in the house~ as a newbie even the simple gundam take an extra time to build it and the panel lining is the lazies thing i need to do if not the gundam will look meh....but i try ur tutor it work just fine for me....thx dude
WOW thank you so much for 3:50 OMFG of course! You just colour the ENTIRE white part and then use a cotton tip to erase it and it looks amazing - it looks so good and professional that whenever I see it I think the person has done some crazy weathering job but no, it's really just panel line smudging. What a game changer! (for me - I'm sure everyone except me knew about it lol).
I actually panel lined for the first time on a turn A recently and the results were incredible. I only used a marker and thumb to erase. The difference is night and day.
I just recently got into the hobby of buying these kits and assembling them as opposed to reading and video gaming and I wanted to take it to the next level after building five figures (Gundam RX-78, MS-06S Zaku II, Astaroth Origin, Red Astray and Exia Dark Matter). This served as a good introduction into the whole panel lining business for a newbie like me so I'm glad I found this channel. Subbed!
Holy Crap. Holy crap! I was not prepared for it to be that easy! I have twelve or so gunpla to panel line (I’ve never done it before), and I can do this! Thanks!
SHAME ON THEE!!!! Seriously, I highly recommend that you panel line your Gunpla. It did wonders for me. You can use a pencil if you don’t have money to buy a proper panel lining pen.
Honestly, the way he does it, I wouldn't recommend it, nor do you even need an eraser. trace the panels line with your pen. Let it dry for a minute, then either with a q tip or even your thumb or finger, just wipe away the excess amount you don't want even if you made a mistake. the natural oils from your fingers will act as a good eraser on its own.
@@mutuallysustainedhateboner1426 if you use a super magnifying glass you can actually see liquids coming out from the fingerprint seams when you squeeze your finger
Thanks for the tip! Cleaning up panel lines has always been my Achilles heel, but this method works perfect. I'm super excited about panel lining now lol.
What I do, which is quite quickly to do while building is that I use the panel liner, wait from 10 to 20 seconds and then remove the excess with a tissue, you get a really good result.
I've never panel lined my gunplas before. I bought a bootleg HGUC Unicorn to practice. This is very helpful! Once I get the hang of it, I'm gonna panel line my RG Unicorn and RG Strike Freedom. 🥰
Never thought about using an eraser! GENIUS!!! BAEL you shall now remain covered in blue paint!!! (I should explain that i used some citadel paint to paint in some areas on Bael along with the tips of its v-fin. The top tips of its front skirt look pretty good painted the same way.)
I can't believe it's that easy. I've never actually built a gundam model kit but the hobby recently caught my attention. Usually I build and paint warhammer miniatures.
I just literally got my first gundam kit and I have to say this is a hobby with music. Thanks for the tips of coloring in . I can’t wait to do another kit
I was a bit worries about this process, did not even know how to call it, but now it seems actually way easier than I thought thanks so much for that ! Getting my first kit in the upcoming days and can't wait to start building !
Thanks for this. I haven't actually panel lined any builds yet(2sd's, 1ng wing gundam that started it all, 1hg and one RG) as I don't have the markers but also was a bit intimidated by it. But with the RG Sazabi(yes a big part of it was from your video review for wanting, as the size of the crossbones RG really disappointed me) incoming and my first MG I feel like I should give it a go.
I've tried this method on both a Petitgguy and a Shining Break (although I used black instead of grey because I actually _like_ the large contrast, but that's just me). Easy? Yes. Perfect? No. The ink doesn't want to apply evenly, leading to some spots in the lining where the plastic's color shows through.
That was pretty helpful! I'm a recent convert to the hobby, so I'm still learning, and stuff like this is really great. Are you based in Ireland? Guessing by the accent!
Dunno if ever mentioned something I do for detailed areas recessed into the plastic like around the hip skirts or chest areas, I fill it in, then with a tooth pick I'll gently press and rub the tip of the tooth pick into the area to erase the majority while keeping the outter edging untouched. This will provide a really nice sharp look for an area that would probably look blacked or grayed out if you just used your pen to color it in.
Nice tutorial! Im new to the hobby, but was wondering if you still use the same process today? Also Do you typically use a top coat first before you panel line? Which brand? So step one, cut, step 2 panel line or step one cut, step 2 top coat, step 3 panel line? Thanks!
Oh that is so cool! Really makes it pop! I’ve only ever built one gunpla before it was a buce. Great fun! Next one I build I’m gonna have to look into other waa ya to make it pop or add character. Maybe even weathering.
I actually do black parts as well with a bit of a light silver, makes them pop a bit. Also for the inner frame I do a bit of dry brushing silver, just a light touch so you don't see too much silver on it but enough to kind of give it that metallic sheen, plus it makes any recesses or popped our areas stand out
i prefer using the lining marker instead of the detailing pen(since the ink can flow all the way through the panel linings), and it makes my job easier since the only cleanup i need to do is where i placed the marker. also, dunno if you've already fixed it, but your lupus' thigh armors are the other way round(the downward slant is parallel to the angle of the front skirt armor)
I didn't know that rubber erasers would remove the excess paint/ink from the Gunpla Fill Pins when I first started using them, so I would sand the excess off. I also didn't have a well ventilated area to work in, so paint thinner was out of the question.This results in a weathered look that isn't half bad, when you use a 300/400 grit sanding foam stick. It's nowhere close to looking as nice is some of the painted weathering I've seen, but it is a nice look. The real issue I have is that you need to take the time to sand most of the part, and that can be difficult if there are a lot of crevices; for those, I'll use sanding toothpicks. Another issue, is that you have to be careful not to over do it in areas with lots fine details; like a small raised area on top of another raised area. Panel lines that aren't properly molded (as in, not quite defective) are also easy to sand away if not careful.
I haven't tested this yet but one of the hobby stores I go to, has a modelers club every so often. The manager of the store was telling me that they sometimes use a simple pencil to panel line the Gundam models.
+Mecha Gaikotsu That's the point. Just press the panel-line on one point and let it cover with ink. Idk if the dot left can be erased with a, well, eraser tho, the ones sold here kinda suck
Just bought my first panel line marker and the gundam I bought with it is the unicorn HGCU and that's the thumbnail of this video. coincidence? and the Marker I bought Is GREY !!! DeIluminati
Thanks so much man!! I just started building gundams and I seen people paint them and stuff and I just hated the thought of doing that. This however is way better
You never know, I was looking at my RX-78 High Grade and it would look cool with a western style pose from the back. All the same this looks like a pretty solid method, and I do have these kinds of markers.
I saw him rub ugly marks with an ERASER. SUCH SIMPLE TASK!!!!!!!!!! (If i made a mistake i usually soak it in soap or alcohol until it all removes) Much thanks!!!!
I thought that full mechanics meant that full working mechanisms on the frames of IBO kits rather than the other style of frames on other master grade. Since IBO kits features bone-like frames
I've always done it this way, but I just wipe away the excess with my finger. Skin oils are great for cutting through ink and can be wiped off later for a clean look.
Can anyone recommend a good kit to try this method out on? I just got the rx78f00 in 1/144 and 1/100 I'd love to do this with those but being I'm still new to building these I don't want to mess them up since they were expensive
And then you apply too much, the panel accent seeps through the plastic and before you know it, that piece is broken in two. Don't forget to use a gloss coat, folks.
I noticed you're using an Gundam style marker for the paneling. Will a regular fine tip marker work for the paneling? I have some Gundam models on the way and am new to putting the models together. I was just wondering if I needed to pick up the markers you used in this video or if the fine tips will be fine.
Hi, absolute noob here, and I know it's kinda late to be asking but, are these pieces painted or primed or whatever before the treatment? I really want to accentuate my models and this seems like a really cool way to do it on a breeze. Are these pieces right out of the runners?
Good Day sir. I apologize beforehand for the noobness of my question. I'm new to Gunpla building and my girlfriend gave me two sets of Gunpla markers for Christmas. Before I use them I was wondering is there proper way to store them? Laying down, standing up, with the tip down? I'd be grateful for any advice.
So I'm starting to get in to GUNDAM building, but I have one question to ask you. What type of markers do you recommend? Or can you tell me where you got that GUNDAM fine point marker
so I'm not the only one who fills it in the fill panels... sure I use a black marker and in my rookie days when all I had was a snippers , a marker, some Q tips, and a size 8 exacto. I'd use my thumb with the black marker being semi fresh on the lining would smudge it to get the same effect, but for the fill in I most defiantly used Q tips. but I still don't hv a gray marker since diluting black gives ya a near gray look... nor do I hv an eraser.
As a dude who has a PG gunpla, it really shines out once you panel line it. Just adding lines to your gundam makes it look WAY better. Now, I find it to be a necessary step before putting it on display. Decals on the other hand... well, if you must.
Jia L. As someone who is completely new to actually putting any work into building them (I built a few as a kid with no tools or extra paint or anything to actually make them look nice), I have to ask how else would you get the look of some of the parts without the stickers? To paint some of those designs I feel like one would need to be an actual artist.
in 1:36, do you let it dry first or erase it as soon as you're done with it? because in the middle (when you use cotton bud) you mention to let it dry first.
I have a lazier way... I use those calligraphy markers(or markers with ink that can rub off easily when wet) then use a tissue to rub off the excess ink
Glad I've seen this! I have a small collection up to now and am a real perfectionist when it comes to lining. I so often slip up and get frustrated at those little mistakes, going to buy an eraser tomorrow.

sonicrockmanx Hey, can you reply? I need some help; you seem to be an expert.
In 4:00 He erased/faded the gundam marker very easily with a cotton bud,
but for me it didn't work, I used alcohol aswell.
Nick Fanchette I tried shaking it. Still didn't work
Edit: I accidentally put water on a marker, will it get damaged?
+sonicrockmanx What would you consider is better; darker shades of the same colors, or brown on red, orange on yellow, etc?
If the it's a gray piece would you just use black?
I'm even lazier than that. I simply use my thumb in place of an eraser.
Ray_Manta I use a micron pen and and don't erase at all😁
Ray_Manta same
Ray_Manta i would use my mouth.
I use panel line accent. Only problem is if you don't dry the excess liquid, it sticks to the plastic, eroding it and eventually breaking it.
Using your thumb is actually really good since the oil on your finger helps to remove the ink easily. Once you're done, just wash your hands and you're good! I do tend to use fine tip cotton buds to reach certain areas that my fingernails sucks at reaching though
For the eraser, it's best to use a rubber eraser.
Black = blue or dark gray pieces
Grey = white or lighter color pieces
Brown = red or yellow pieces
xxnike629xx i use brown for blue
Lt. Furno Interesting. But try it the way I suggested and use the rubber eraser to clean up parts. It'll look nice. ^_^
Lt. Furno Don't listen to that guy. he doesn't build shit and is a known troll in the Gunpla Community. Just look at how passive-aggresive he tries to make it look like his way is better than yours

The eraser trick is really handy!! I used Q-tips and rubbing alcohol before hand, this looks a lot easier!!
New to gunpla. Would love to see some completed before/after comparisons to see if its worth it.
This is a total life saver for someone who fails at details.

Brilliant!! Thanks very much for doing this and perfect timing, just got my first set of markers and kit!! You had me at Lazy Arse!! 😆👍🏼
Great video man! Although I already use this method, this video taught me a few things I've been doing wrong.
Dude I love your vids! You are acctually the one who inspired me to build gunpla!
Thank you so much Ill have my first gunpla this week and I have no idea what to do this helped me a lot
hey when will you do the vidar review you know the gundam that hates the stair case

Glad to see im not the only one here from the future but ya try it with gundam markers its so cool

This is not the lazy one, that's why we have pour-type panel-line markers!
.... oh yea lol

+Mecha Gaikotsu That's the point. Just press the panel-line on one point and let it cover with ink. Idk if the dot left can be erased with a, well, eraser tho, the ones sold here kinda suck
Mecha Gaikotsu You're supposed to let it dry for a few seconds while you continue panel line the other parts and clean it after.
Hiruma Berserker You can actually use water and cotton bud and it'll be erased instantly as it's oil based.
i used spit on toilet tissue to erase when i first started
If it works, it works

Thanks so much man!! I just started building gundams and I seen people paint them and stuff and I just hated the thought of doing that. This however is way better
Thanks this helped me understanding what parts too panel line and how to panel line
I mainly apply black panel line marker onto white parts of SDs to bring out the cartoony aesthetic.
You never know, I was looking at my RX-78 High Grade and it would look cool with a western style pose from the back.
All the same this looks like a pretty solid method, and I do have these kinds of markers.

Thank you so much I actually bought the barbatos lupis before watching and this really helped
Can anyone recommend a good kit to try this method out on? I just got the rx78f00 in 1/144 and 1/100 I'd love to do this with those but being I'm still new to building these I don't want to mess them up since they were expensive
Markers are still too much work, grab a tamiya panel line accent color, you touch the brush on a panel line and its done xD
gundam marker gm-301 is also a good alternative
And then you apply too much, the panel accent seeps through the plastic and before you know it, that piece is broken in two.
Don't forget to use a gloss coat, folks.
What ? never happen on me
GlaciusX2 but then we got to wait and I dont patience good
Don't do that with any gold kits though, the enamel will eat the plating... found out the hard way on my akatsuki :(
use the brown for warm colors like yellow and red, it accentuates the color and looks nicer than black or grey
+Astronopolis that's true!

so I'm not the only one who fills it in the fill panels... sure I use a black marker and in my rookie days when all I had was a snippers , a marker, some Q tips, and a size 8 exacto. I'd use my thumb with the black marker being semi fresh on the lining would smudge it to get the same effect, but for the fill in I most defiantly used Q tips.
but I still don't hv a gray marker since diluting black gives ya a near gray look... nor do I hv an eraser.
Wow panel lining looks pretty easy.
What eraser did you use? And do you top coat it first before panel lining?
Btw use brown color for red plastic hehe
As a dude who has a PG gunpla, it really shines out once you panel line it. Just adding lines to your gundam makes it look WAY better. Now, I find it to be a necessary step before putting it on display. Decals on the other hand... well, if you must.
Jia L. As someone who is completely new to actually putting any work into building them (I built a few as a kid with no tools or extra paint or anything to actually make them look nice), I have to ask how else would you get the look of some of the parts without the stickers? To paint some of those designs I feel like one would need to be an actual artist.
in 1:36, do you let it dry first or erase it as soon as you're done with it? because in the middle (when you use cotton bud) you mention to let it dry first.
This helped a lot thanks for the vid!
I have a lazier way...
I use those calligraphy markers(or markers with ink that can rub off easily when wet) then use a tissue to rub off the excess ink
Glad I've seen this! I have a small collection up to now and am a real perfectionist when it comes to lining. I so often slip up and get frustrated at those little mistakes, going to buy an eraser tomorrow.
With the eraser method, do you let the paint dry before using the eraser on it or do you use the eraser while the paint is still wet?
