panel lines

hey how do u ppl out line the panel lines...do any of the tamiya paint markers work? thx

Simplest way is to get a small gundam marker, or a Zig fine pen from a hobby store.

I find that the Zig pens I use dry out very quickly, so lately I just use thinned acrylic black and let capillary action do the work. Clean up the blotches with a q-tip.

I use either Indian Ink or thinned Tamiya black acrylic. Use a fine tip paint bruch and run it into the lines and let it dry. Don't worry to much about the black going where it shouldn't.

Clean up with a little bit of polish on a soft cloth or cotton bud.

Hope this helps.

There's a write up by Junhao "Drawing panel lines" and how to go about it using a Gundam Marker.

Try using the search in general, I think you would get your answers just as fast.
