Gundam 00 Diver has some lovely detailing. Will I ever fall out of love with how panel lining makes it pop? Not likely! #gundam #gunpla #gundamuk #gunplauk #toyphotography #girlsofgunpla #gundambuilddivers #gundam00diver #panellining https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lv1JmnOMg/?igshid=cjnfly7w2dgk

How do you use pour type Gundam markers effectively for panel lining?

Pour type Gundam markers are a popular tool for panel lining on Gunpla models due to their precision and ease of use. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use them effectively:

Prepare Your Model: Ensure your Gunpla is fully assembled and clean. Apply a gloss or semi-gloss topcoat to make the surface smooth, preventing the ink from staining matte areas.

Shake the Marker: Shake the pour type marker well to mix the ink and ensure smooth application.

Apply the Marker: Hold the marker like a pen and gently apply the ink to the recessed panel lines. The ink will flow through the lines by capillary action, so there's no need to draw along the entire line.

Clean Excess Ink: Wait 1-2 minutes for the ink to dry, then use a cotton swab or Q-tip to wipe away any excess ink. For stubborn smudges, use Gundam Marker Remover or isopropyl alcohol lightly.

Seal Your Work: Once the panel lines are complete, apply a clear topcoat (matte, semi-gloss, or gloss) to protect the ink and give your model a uniform finish.

Tips for Success:

Start with light colors for light-colored parts and dark colors for darker parts.

Test the marker on a spare piece to ensure it flows smoothly.

Work in small sections to avoid smudging and uneven application.

By following these steps and tips, you can achieve precise and professional-grade panel lines that enhance the depth and detail of your Gunpla builds.

I’ve been going back and adding panel lining to my older @bandainamcous Gundam models...it’s crazy what a difference this makes! #bandai #gundam #panellining #hobby #model #wingzero #unicorn https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Rg6h4gbbn/?igshid=1x7oj0mqazu20

RX-78-2: Gundam, Launching!!! Finally! I got to build the original Gundam! I love this suit so much, and saw the Gunpla Starter Kot Vol 2 at @hobbytownusa , so I figured it was time! This was also my first time ever doing panel lining on a Gunpla, and what better way to learn than to go back to the beginning? I may not have done the best job, but I don't think I did terrible for my first time. Very simple kit, but I quite enjoyed building it. Now that it's done, it's sitting in my desk at work! Amuro, ready to engage!!! #Gundam #gunpla #modelbuilding #rx782 #MobileSuitGundam #amuroray #panellining
