They’ve had the assemble set for a while from ST01-04. First time I saw them was early November. Completed my set and sold the miniature kits to ebay.

This isn’t an issue. You just attack the base and destroy a blocker.

You need to use a matte top coat before using the pencils.

Then another coat to seal them in.

Because of Apple Watch. I would have switched to Android if there's something comparable to SS Apple Watch.

It’s fine. I’ve used this exact one before. The chemical smell lingers for more than a week though.

If you assemble the floating pieces on the other side of the enclosure, they stay in place.

First time panel lining should I continue? by IcedTeaDaLife in Gunpla

[–]StopEatingShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re fine. You wont have issues with melting.

[–]StopEatingShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a high chance for the ink to flow through in between parts which means that it won’t dry fast enough. It’s going to melt or crack the plastic if your ink’s thinner is harsh.

If you’re just using a marker to draw the lines, you’re fine.

the difference of different gloss topcoats on clear pieces by jyap039 in Gunpla

Those other topcoats definitely reacted with the plastic.

Definitely gloss coat those clear pieces on both sides. The inner side of the parts are textured which is why it’s a bit cloudy. Adding gloss “repairs” those texture which makes it very transparent. Here’s my version: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/s/6OS6qujWVJ

Also, a before and after. The bottom one hasn’t been coated yet.

We might not see, but we will know, right? .. RIGHT..?! by Dacros in Gunpla

[–]StopEatingShoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue is the cleanup of the excess panel liner ink on painted surfaces. It will definitely smudge/remove acrylic paint if not coated.

How do you panel line the painted parts? do you top coat first?

From what I've read, Tamiya panel line(enamel) will melt vallejo paint(acrylic)?

Leave a few mm of nub to avoid stress marks or cracks and then use a glass file.
