    Howdy, got yet another question!

    So I got the 1/100 metal gear rex on pre-order…the black version, then I realised…

    How the heck do DO panel line this!?

    Yes, I’d like to retain its originals colors, don’t think typical grey or black would work…would I have to make a custom enamel wash color/white?

    I’ll just be glossing then matte’ing the surface of the plastic unless…they had multiple shades of black in spray can form as I’m not good at brush strokes nor airbrush skills :S

    cheers in advance

    • White or a silver/gunmetal if you want to go more subtle perhaps.

    • normally a panel line darkens the line to give the impression of a deeper recess course you can’t do that if things are already black. so normally you’d just ignore it, but with the entire kit being black that’s probably not so appealing of an option. However if you just want to bring attention to the line as a detail then as suggested white or really any bright color works, it doesn’t have the same natural feel as dark lines on bright colors but you can do a search. there are a few images floating around where people did that and it does actually look really good. There’s also something else I’ve been considering but haven’t tried yet, tron lines, basically pick a neon or fluorescent color and do all the lines with that. Like I said I haven’t actually given that one a shot yet myself but I think it’s worth considering.
