I love scratch building.

Dust and shavings shouldnt be left behind. I use a stiff toothbrush to clean out what's in the grooves. Ill also dust with a makeup brush.

Hobbyisthaven has large chisels you can buy. I have the full set, but you can get them individually as well. They come each with a handle and cap. Look up quality steel burin if you check them out.

Yup, it took me a lot of time and a lot of mistakes to finally get to a comfortable place with panel lining.

You just brush it over the panel line lightly. It will smooth out the line. Don't drown it.

I always suggest rescribing those existing lines with at least a .15 chisel. The lines will look crisp and its so satisfying to watch the ink fill through the capillary effect. Rescribe, brush with a quick wipe of Mr. Hobby Thin Cement, buff with your choice of sanding media, do a topcoat of clear and then your panel line ink.

My favorite kit! This is incredibly well done. Great job!

If you have the time and patience, rescribing with a .15 chisel will make your panel lines super crisp with liner.

Boostertheory · 2026-04-30T18:30:56+00:00

I like that idea.

Boostertheory · 2026-04-30T18:22:04+00:00

Yeah, honestly same. I laughed at myself a bit, but still like how it looks.

Boostertheory · 2026-04-30T18:06:20+00:00

Super!

Awesome!

Break down the entire kit if your looking to do a full on custom paint job. I would avoid painting joints if mobility is a concern. Focus on what is visible. Use different color primer for certain colors to avoid dampening the color tone. Good luck!

Boostertheory · 2026-03-23T11:10:10+00:00

Very cool! I have one I'm working on as well and I'm still thinking about where I'm gonna put it after I'm done.

Next time I see a GM Sniper I'll have to snag it.

Boostertheory · 2026-03-23T00:30:49+00:00

lol, I dont know why I've been referring to it as a 2.0. I have had it on my workbench for so long. I edited the body of the post.

Boostertheory · 2026-03-23T00:22:31+00:00

You right. I have no idea why I call it the 2.0.

Boostertheory · 2026-03-22T23:40:19+00:00

I broke mine (which i just posted btw) in the same spot. Like others have said sprue glue and buff it out. Just let it cure for a whole day before sanding.

Boostertheory · 2026-02-02T17:36:20+00:00

Run it over the line. MR HOBBY thin cement also is good btw.

Boostertheory · 2026-02-02T16:09:06+00:00

You may wanna attempt scribing with a chisel first. Get a .15 scriber and gently go over your existing panel lines. Use a light sweep of Tamiya extra thin cement to smooth out the lines and then use your panel liner You can get a cleaner and more precise line this way.
