Do you plan to make a tutorial on topcoats? I figured out the panel lining and decals, but I can't seem to get the top coat right.

[@cabellism]

No mention of oil wash, cheap as hell, lasts forever, and zero chance of fucking up a paint job or plastic.

[@cryingdemon]

How common is cracking with Tamiya panel liner fluid? Is it more common with the polystyrene plastic vs stuff made from ABS? I've used it on several kits without any top coating, and have been fortunate enough to not experience any weakness, or cracks...

[@thebadshave503]

One additional suggestion is if you like acrylic paint: acrylic ink like liquitex. It's like acrylic paint but already at the thinness you want and it's much denser in pigment. It's also exceptionally cheap, particularly for common colors like black and browns used in calligraphy (which is actually why I had it around in the first place). I apply it with a narrow brush and let it sit for 20 minutes or so and the excess usually comes off easy with a paper towel (or under more extreme cases, a tiny amount of solvent on a small brush first). Because it comes in a dropper bottle it's easy to avoid wasting it. A lot of times I can go over most of an entire kit with just like 2-3 drops in a plastic pan and I feel like I've never actually run a pot dry.

I am using Tamiya panel liner and testors enamel thinner I let the panel liner dry over night but it still washes away my panels when I go to clean up. I'm drying my cotton swab and brushing vary lightly but they still wash away.

[@sugarslice]

What about cleaning up the panel lining after painting? Wouldn’t thinners or water ruin the paint coat underneath. Or is there a better order of operations to paint the models?

[@vincebasadre9836]

Can you make a tutorial on how you make your water fall spray booth please 🌟

[@FullArmorBear]

Rather than acrylic paint you can use something like an opaque acrylic ink product. Generally speaking it's already at the consistency you want and it will flow in the panel lines.

[@michealknight6003]

What is your preference to do first, to apply water slides first or panel line first?

[@kiosy8]

Will I be fine buying MG kits without panel lining? I just started and bought two RG kits. I am planning to buy MG nexts and do the panel lining later when I know better. 🤣

So thankful that you are coming back to this channel I know you have probably a bunch of people asking for videos I think an in-depth scribing video would be helpful thanks 🙏🏾👍🏾

[@dust_bin_gaming7319]

To add a few small things...

[@loochan-o7174]

Thanks for the video! There's one thing I would add about the Tamya accent: must wait at least 24 hours after top coating because when the varnish is not well cured it can still absorb the ink. Then when you do the cleaning it will get removed, together with your panel lines and the coloring underneath, if you did any.

[@tjwaldie2880]

Love these G Academy videos! Keep up the good work.

[@Lastlineshow]

Ayyy, glad to see you posting again on this channel. Would absolutely love to see you do a tutorial on how you do LED work specially when you would make your own battery boxes that fit into the gundam kits. Great work.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Thank you for making more tutorial videos!

[@javi624]

Excellent video, I’m just barely thinking about starting a build and this gave a lot of confidence

[@haydenhsieh330]

Interesting tips, very useful, Thanks, love your stuff

[@sourcedecay]

Oil paint + white spirit works wonderfully, you just have to wait a real long time for it to fully dry.

[@bigdadiware1869]

Im new to the hobby. Im lovin it. Your videos have been such a big help. Hopefully one day i can afford stuff like mgex. Ty for your tutorials! The decal one helped so much!
