How To Clean Tamiya Panel Line Accent

Introduction

Panel lining is an easy way to make your Gunpla kit more detailed and crawly! Don't exist agape that y'all'll ruin your kit because it is piece of cake to practice and I will testify y'all two easy methods that I personally use:

1st Method: Marker (of your choice) Panel Lining with Condom Eraser

1st thing to do is of-course find a role that we demand to console line:

Materials that will be used are the marker of your choice and a rubber eraser, my personal favorite is the COPIC Multiliner. For the prophylactic eraser, I like the red rough ones existence sold in National Bookstore.

This method is pretty like shooting fish in a barrel, just ink on the panel lines like shown in the photos below, don't worry virtually excess ink or lines that go out of the panel lines. The safety eraser will fix that.

As you can find, the console lining is a bit thick and there'southward a niggling smudge at the bottom of this part. Rubbing the lines using the rubber eraser can quickly make clean your panel lining neatly.

Extra tip: Rub the panel line using your rubber eraser perpendicular to the line being cleaned. COPIC Multiliners are not quick to dry out, so it'due south easy to make clean mistakes.

And viola! A prissy thin panel line! =iii Easy right?

Method 2: Console Line Emphasis Colour + Enamel Thinner

This method is also known as enamel launder as information technology involves thinned out enamel pigment as the console lining tool. Earlier Tamiya produced these Panel Line Accent Color bottles(which are enamel based), hobbyists resort to the original Tamiya enamel paints and thin information technology with lighter fluid or enamel thinner.Anyway, good thing they made these Panel Line Emphasis Color so that you don't demand to thin your own enamel paint and these bottles come with a handy applicator.

Materials that volition exist used are the following: Tamiya Console Line Emphasis Color, Tamiya 10-20 Enamel Paint Thinner, cotton swabs.

Extra info: Tamiya Panel Line Emphasis Colour comes in different colors like grayness and brown. I still similar blackness.

This method is also easy! You but take to use the applicator that is attached to the canteen cap and dab it to the panel lining. The concept is that the enamel paint is thinned enough that it will run itself through the lines, all yous have to practise is dab a small amount of Panel Line Emphasis Colour on any part of the panel line.

Alert:Do not overdo and put besides much enamel paint on the piece! Earlier dabbing it on the piece, you tin can remove excess ink from the applicator by simply skidding it by the bottle's opening. If at that place'southward too much ink on the slice, you can speedily make clean it using some swabs, don't worry near smudges as nosotros can clean it later.The reason backside this is considering too much enamel paint on the Gunpla'southward plastic fabric can make it brittle and crack.Then be careful okay?

The slice will look something similar this afterwards Panel Line Accent Color application:

Now we can clean the smudges and ink blots using a small-scale amount of enamel paint thinner on a cotton swab.

Only dab the cotton swab with the enamel paint thinner lightly on the backlog ink, don't press too hard every bit you tin remove the underlying panel lining.

And viola! Beautiful make clean panel lining!

That's it for this tutorial! I promise swain hobbyists and Gunpla beginners will discover it useful. You can ask questions in the comment section beneath and I'll glady answer it. 🙂
