This was super encouraging for me to go out and get the panel line accent; I figured a marker would be safer but the enamel wash just looks better. Thanks for all the tips
@Jimmy Boston lol did you really just make 2 dummy accs to try and bait people to visit that very dodgy site?
@Jimmy Boston my guy made 2 fake accounts to bait people

Thanks for the simple and straight to the point tutorial! I recently got into Gunpla myself and after doing no panel lining for my first couple kits I figured i'd try it on my next one and this video is just what I needed.
as a newcomer to modelkits and panel lining itself, i really appreciate this video. you make it look easy when before, seeing all the small details seemed so hard to pull off! thank you
This was the most straightforward, no BS tutorial I've seen on using the Tamiya panel liner. Thank you!
Thanks man you don’t know how comforting vids like this are to beginners.
Thank you for this video, for the first ~12mo of my gunpla building have been using panel line markers thinking it seemed like the "precise" way to do it, but picked up a bottle of panel line accent and tried it out and wow does capillary action do a cleaner and more precise job than my shaky hand and that pen nib ever could. This and your weathering and panel line removal tutorials are really helping me step my builds up to the next level!
Great tutorial man. I watched the whole thing. Thank you bro, much appreciated
Awesome video, thank you for making it! The only other thing I would mention (I also just use my finger to clean up) is IF the ink isn’t being absorbed or wiped away (silver is bad for this and certain plastics seem to hold on to ink more) would be to use a small amount of the Gundam marker eraser *on* your finger. I personally use a cotton tip with surface cleaner for application, then use my finger for clean up but it will be absorbed into the skin and it is toxic. Thank you again for making this, I was wondering why some of my panel lining looked good and some didn’t and now I know there’s different types of panel lines and what all the different suggested applicators do. I’ve been using the big marker since my fourth kit and have always wondered why sometimes I waste more ink than necessary. It’s because I should be using a different applicator 😂
Your videos are super instructional and to the point. Thank you for the vids
I'm SUPER new to this hobby (at least in any serious capacity - been building since I was young), so thank you so much for sharing this. I just got done panel lining a HY-GOGG kit with a market, I was intimidated by the paints. Now I feel way more confident that I can handle it.
Although it was time consuming, I do recommend newbies use a marker first just to get that foundational experience and build patience. My next kit will absolutely be done using both techniques. And I'll totally admit to being a color snob, so I'll be buying the 4-pack accent kit. Hahaha
As an aside, I wasn't totally impressed with the Gundam markers, for whatever it's worth. I ended up using Micron 005 markers and they've worked fine.
Awsome thanks for the help man I'm just stating this is so helpful
"I don't know how this bottle got all mess."
@6:36 Bam, I figured out the reason why.... lmfao all jokes aside thank you so much for this, it's extremely helpful and I appreciate you making this video.
Panel lines here I come! Thank you for the video!
Thanks to Covid-19con; Had to splurge on some gunpla kits, extra accessories, paints, tools and panel liner.
I haven't gone hard with the gunpla game since.......... 2000 😫😭 "Wish me luck"
haha also on lockdown and spent a lot on a few kits, i really dont want to paint the models myself as i have way to much other kits to paint so hope they look good just being panel lined.
I'm new to gunpla building
Very intresting history ; scales etc
I'm building the new nu gundam RG
Its a solid version than the MG
And the wings doesnt fallout (seeing from a review)
I'm using my garage tools since my order for my tools is taking ages to arrive due to the second wave on china of covid
I have a bigger side cutter (made for cutting electric cables, it works fine for the gunpla
But the cutterr knife i'm using its time consuming
But i dont have something decent to polish
I only have P100, P250ish so after testing it it left horrible marks
I guess i have to wait for my tools after all since i want to clean polish the tiny pieces before the leg asamble since many parts are from the outside armor and i dont wanna polish when its fully build
I did enjoy the first 2hours of stress cutting hopping i dont fk up xD the cutting part with the knife is easy its the polish part that worries me
Other than that love building it cant wait till its finished
Yep, ditto. Restarted my gunpla hobby after 10yr break. Lots of moving around. Doing 00 Sevensword this weekend. First attempt at panel lining
i legit just started cuz of the pandemic and yeah so far so good i got 2 HG kits done already well my dad bought me an SD once in 2013 but well i still need more skills and also i use a nail clipper kit instead of nipper, penknife, sanding sponge
Me to exept I'm 15 and last built a kit when I was 6 and I only used nail clippers back then
A good alternative to tamiya panel liner is Vallejo model wash. The panel liner is always sold out at the hobby stores around me:/
might start doing this. some of the stickers are tiny as hell and are a pain in the ass to put on.
The Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color is definitely a time saver to effectively and efficiently do panel lining on GunPla.
I used to use the marker but they don't last long, and they end up being more expensive.
Also, it's more time consuming.
I wouldn't suggest using your fingers to absorb this stuff. Even if it's not too bad for you, you don't want to accumulate chemicals unnecessarily right?
You make a good point about the osmosis effect.
But if you're careful, then you can use the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color and not encounter that osmosis type of effect.
Also, what you do is you use the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color, let it dry a bit, and then use a little bit of enamel thinner to clean up the excess very effectively.
@Jesse Clary
Exactly.
It's cheaper to use the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color, it's quicker and more efficient to use it, and it takes less clean up time.
I have all 4 colors at the moment...
Black, Dark Brown, Brown, and Gray
xxnike629xx is
As a beginner asking questions, what would the four colours be? Black, grey, and I assume a brown would be some but what would the last one be?
@@iGamerNewb dark brown.
Great tutorial!
Thanks for this. Me and my sons started buying kits and are learning how to panel line.
john rigsby unfortunately the best is the Gundam marker eraser. You should be able to find it if you Google Gundam Marker Eraser. It comes as a fat white marker with a clear cap.
@@BoundByGundams TY i missed where you said mineral spirits the first time around and caught it on the second watch.
What thinnet do you use for the tamiya panel wash thing?
Thanks for the video!
Will the clean up take off paint too? Obviously I plan to do some custom paint and don't wanna take it off with the liner.
So do you wait for the tamiya wash to dry then touch up? And what do you touch up with?
He still pinned some comment thats a good sign atleast we know he still alive
Edit :how's life
Quick question: Since the Tamiya accent panel line is prediluted/pre-thinned, will the solvent inside it harm the plastics or make the plastics brittle over time when used directly on the kit? Some say it's fine to use them directly without any primer/topcoat, some say it WILL ruin the plastics. I'm confused.
Not sure about other people, but as for me I'm currently at the toy store looking for what I should buy for panel lining/painting my kit and the comment section is taking too long to load. Sorry if I asked something that has been answered.
Edit: I do however read the description of every video that I watch.
Will the tamiya panel ink still "crawl" on spray painted surfaces?
herpson derps - for that, you want to gloss it. The particles used in sprays for pigment will slow your role. Use a cheap alternative like pledge revive it.
Can you use rubbing alcohol instead of thinner to clean the panel lines???
What would you do if you had black parts with panel lines on them? Just ignore the lines or use a lighter color?
Thanks!
God I fucked up my atlas gundam so bad. I appreciate the advice. I'll be re buying the kit and starting over.
Bro, I am absolute livid right now. I was excited to start panel lining. Messed up the legs. I dug too deep and the Scribner did not hold a straight line.
I've heard washing the runners in diahsoap water is a good idea to get the oils off from the manufacturering process that might make the ink from the markers or even paint a bit runny. Is this true?
Keven Wylie I usually only do that if I’m painting them.
Would paneling work with a pencil or a pen? And whats an alternative for the Flat top coat i cant buy those on amazon so i would rather go to my local home depot or something. Hope you read this,
Thanks!
Thank you for the informative video! Do you have to spray on a coat before applying the Tamiya accent color??? I heard that it could damage the plastic.
no
Just don't let it pool up and when removing the excess, don't let the q tip pool up in thinner so remember to damp it first on a towel before applying it on the plastic.
Do you have to add a matte coat first or do you just go ahead with the panel lining wash?
asdkaonpo9iewbnrpoea watch the bideo
Hi sir,
Is Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color makes your Gunpla plastic brittle? is it safe? newbie here thanks..
hey @Lucan, i've tried using it even as a beginner and i have experienced some parts chipped away and some small cracks suddenly popped out. I am not sure and is currently experimenting on whether it is the tamiya panel accent color alone or even the X20 thinner.
tommorow ill try spraying an SD as to see whether it is better to spray gloss before panel lining (esp with tamiya accent) or just use the goddamn gundam marker :P
I bought the gundam maker and so far it’s ok
Hey just a quick question, is acrylic thinner work as well to remove the paint?
Lawrence Chew depends on the paint lol
Forget the pens. I need some of that tamiya accent stuff.
A friend who got me into gundams originally had a panel liner pen, but I recall it acting like the Tamiya ink. Does anyone know what that item is called, or if they are still available?
gundam marker gm300 series
What king of thinner do you use?
Thanks!
I just started making my first gunpla, so I don't have a lot of experience with panel lining. I'm ok using the markers but after watching your video, I think I will like to try with the panel line accent. My question is, can you apply it without any coating whatsoever or do you have to apply something?
Kvothe Dragonborn in the video I explain this but no you don’t need a coating. I used it on bare plastic in this. Just be sure NOT to let it pool up in excess or let the thinner or liner sit on the kit for too long. It can cause cracking
@@BoundByGundams Thank you very much
with the Tamyia Panel liner do you have to thin it out or does it already come pre thin?
Reggie H it comes pre thinned
What's the tip size of the gundam marker?
I have a different marker then a gundam marker 0.1 markers are the best don’t use sharpies they are to big
I tried using Testor's Enamel Wash to get rid of the Tamiya liner, but it ended up diluting and smudging the excess liner. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe it's not dry enough? :(
Jesse Clary *thinner not wash, typo. Yeah it's probably not dry enough. A lot of guides say 3 mins is enough for the Tamiya liner to dry, but it seems to smudge even after 5 mins.
can you use alcohol for clean up after using tamiya panel line accent wash? i never tried that type of inking and im really curious now.
Jesse Clary im so used to markers lol i also use thinned acrylic paint and it does the same effect. but i feel the wash is more convenient since its in a box
lol bottle*
Is it okay if just using a Gundam Marker pen instead of Panel Lining ink? It may takes more time but will it still be ok?
of course but its gonna be slow. if you have MG or PG using Panel Lining Marker is gonna be painfully slow but still doable . if you have 1/144 especially RG with lot of detail u might wanna just use the Panel Lining Marker
Any problems with plastic cracking with Tamiya Accent Color?
I’m confused how does the q tip not take the paint out of the panel line ??
will the thinner make the plastic crack?
Should I panel line first before spraying the top coat or after?
Before
I heard tamiya panel accent can damage plastic, do you coat it first?
Albert Keren it’s fine as long as you don’t let it pool up and remove the excess like I demonstrate
@6:42 thats my face when soya liquid spills in my lips
does runny tamiya acrylic black work?
Probably a stupid question but why did that upper portion of the panel not get lined? Just beginning and trying to figure out which lines always get it and which would be a groove/ignored line. Thanks in advance!
Okay sweet haha. Didn't no since I'm a novice so just wanted to make sure, your videos help tons so thanks for that!
Okay perfect. Another thing, for the coat after paint, I'm assuming it is an absolute MUST to be gloss as opposed to matte/flat? I'm noticing my panel wash is smearing into the paint after a flat coat (trial and error) so just wanting to clarify that is probably where my problem lies?
Thanks, how much gloss coating needs to be done? It seems like I went through Mr. Clear Coat relatively fast with only cranking out a kit and a half. Sorry for all of the questions haha.
Yeah, I think thats the moral of the story. It seems to me as if the gloss coat is applied thoroughly it doesn't matter what brand I should be using since the topcoat will seal in the final product, or is that a poor way of thinking?
Is it really a rule that if we use the Tamiya Accent Panel Line that we must first apply a top coat gloss as it can break the plastic?
Gravekeeper I use it on bare plastic in this vid
Great video. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel. Sub’d.
is 100% necessary to coating the gunpla firts to use tamiya panel line?
Victor Fernández Abarca no
I just go real touch markers. The panel accent you do have to be careful because it can make the plastic brittle and the pen doesn’t last as long.
Should a buy a grey or not ?
I also prefer black than gray with white
are gundam markers necessary or can i just use a micron pen?
thats no issue for me, i needed them for an art class a few semesters before
If anything, before i got actual panel liner, I always just used a thin Sharpie
These pieces weren't painted were they?
The only time a gundam marker comes in handy
Did you put some clear paint before put enamel?
No
I don't even own a model, cool tutorial
What grade is the Gundam?
What mineral spirits thinner do you use? Where can I buy it?
Daniel De Leon just regular mineral spirits. You can buy it anywhere that sells mineral spirits lol the brand doesn’t matter
BoundByGundams ok thanks
Can’t I just use a pointer or a pigma pen ?
I tried the accent and it destroyed the plastic. Did I do something wrong? The joints on my kit just crumbled.
TexaSinneD why did you use it on the joints? My guess is you left it on there too long
@@BoundByGundams I didn't I guess i got to much on the actual seams in the kit and it seeped into the joint.
TexaSinneD that’s happened to me too. That’s why it’s important to do proper seam removal
Too much of the wash and thinner can ruin the plastic too. Learned it the hard way. One of my kits suddenly showed stress mark-like lines on the plastic.
do u have an instagram acc where i can look at your gundams?
Yes links are in the description
Can I just panel line and not put a top coat on my kit?
Yeah
Can you use pencil eraser to erase some excess on tamiya accent panel liner?
Norman Ferras no it’s not the same as marker
@@BoundByGundams Ow! Thanks, i thought you can use it because they're bought enamel
Do you need overcoat
ニコラスNicholas Ah my internet twin
what mineral spirit are you using
The typical stuff you find at any art store
do you know if this ink will work on MSIA?
You do that after paining or before?
He does panel lining after painting but Topcoat paint so u don't mess up if u get some on ur paintjob
TheDinoBite topcoat is what? Water? Acrylic? I have no idea what goes first and what goes after. I tried with same paint and of course the bottom one went bye bye.
@@RyuuzakiJulio it depends some are acrylic topcoats and others are laquer topcoats
@@RyuuzakiJulio search up Zaku Aurelius Steps before painting as a guide and then comeback to this video
TheDinoBite guess is a matter of trial and error huh. I did a Frame Arms Girl Stylet. My first build.
What if I’m not painting the model can I just do the paneling with the Tamiya accent ? And wouldn’t the thinner take off the paint from the model?
The model in the tutorial isn’t painted... I stated that. The thinner won’t as long as you don’t use too much, leave it on too long, or if paint is completely dried and cured.
What if I paint the model then use line panel. will it work ? Do I need paint gloss coating after painting the model .
Hung Duong yes you need to gloss coat first
TKS bro
are those parts top coated?
@@BoundByGundams okay
Seems more as a weathering effect if you didn't finish it.
Is that part already painted?
I talk about it in the video
sorry my bad :)
Damn! I thought the panel line was an acrylic!! That explains why I have to rub so hard using Tamiya's acrylic thinner! Duh!
What thinner is best for the markers and panel line?
you sound like the tekkit realm lol
That panel wash dries the hell out my model and it just ends up cracking everywhere.
I think its recommended to add a gloss top coat first because of the chemical composition making the plastic brittle.
Panel liner is all im missing right now... the local hobby store has the pen, but I gotta order the tamiya stuff.
KarasouTengu The enamel wash stepped my game up but I was pretty pleased with my skills using the pen-markers on the last kit I did before I got the paint. Can't even tell the difference on that one.
What is that gundam
Ma lay MG Hi-Nu Gundam
все черным заливать так себе вариант, нужны другие оттенки чтобы объем был виден
What did you do with that tamiya bottle? Jesus
Oh haha, I spilled it once.
Dude nice video …..but ….use a mask when working with tamyia paints . It’s hazard …not the paint when dry but the fumes. It’s best paint but treat I carefully when applying.😎
I’m a beginner
Fuck yeah dude
I know how to panel, but I just don't know why I click this video, strange fate 🤔
De fondo se lee xochicalco y tula
Thats one crusty looking tamiya panel liner
6:37 in, finally started something...
I cringe when he used his thumb to wipe out the panel lines. Not saying it's a bad habit but I suggest always use qtips.
@@BoundByGundams I'm new to painting Gunpla but anything with a noticeable odor probably isn't good to get on your bare skin.
One common alternative to Q-Tips I've seen for clearing out smudges like that is to use an eraser instead, which is harder than a Q-Tip yet soft enough to not damage the plastic.
Talking 95% actual punel lining 5%
Redmund Molina called a tutorial for a reason. I have to explain what I’m doing so you don’t fuck it up
@@BoundByGundams edi wow
Horrible
