Bandai has some markers for panel lining. But any fin tip marker, panel lining wash. or even dilute your paint with thinner will work. HLJ has a great selection of the Gundam Markers, I use the black and grey fine tip ones.
I use gundam markers as they’re easy to find and use. My friend who models tanks uses actual ink and he has quite nice results with that.
I prefer panel washes since they are easier
I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this too! Should I put a gloss coat on first? What kind of paint should I use (acrylic, enamel, lacquer) for the gloss coat and for the panel wash? Thanks for your help!
enamel that’s what I was told when I learnt this technique from gunpla tv.
sorry for late response btw
yes and u do need to put a top coat otherwise it may damage the paint underneath
No worries! With enamel for the panel wash, should the gloss coat be enamel also? Thanks for the info!
well top coating has no types such as enamels and acrylics though that’s what I know. The second thing is they’re spray cans.
Got it! Thanks again for the tips!
I also use gundam markers since I don’t paint my kits. I used black mostly and just tried gray on my RG Exia. You can check my gallery to see what kind of effects you can get.
If you paint, markers may not be the best choice.
I don’t know if this is correct or not but when i read an article it says that panel lining with markers will make it look “overpainted”
