Why yours dried so fast. I left mine overnight and it's still not completely dry lol Are you using Gundam branded pen?

i not sure is gundam branded pen or not, it is included in the hobby starter kit..i will check it when i back home

is the top coat matte? if yes, that is the cause. The panel lining should be done before the top coat. The matte coat provide the surface a porous surface that absorbs the ink.

i using tamiya semi gloss top coat

What I meant was the panel line might not be dry enough or you might have applied it excessively, or it could be the top coat was excessive. Either way, any of those could ruin the ink.

Usually panel line could be rubbed off but for groove lining only. Excessive ink on flat areas like the Exia shield in the picture would overflow if it's not dry enough.

how do i know if the top coat was excessive? usually how long i should wait for panel line to dry?

Panel line can take one whole day to dry depends on humidity and weather, same as paint. I usually dry the panel-lined pieces under sunlight for 30 minutes, then place them under shaded area (inside house).


Things you can do to improve the outcome of spray painting/topcoating:

-Make sure the piece is horizontal during spraying (otherwise, the overflowing topcoat or wet panel line will flow onto undesired area).
-Spray under direct sunlight.
-Do not overspray. Spray one layer lightly. Dry it for 30 minutes under sunlight. Then the next layer. Repeat.

You might be tempted to overspray because you don't see the result that you think you would see in the first or second layer.

Wow just read a post on Gamerarena FB that they are going to open an outlet in 1Utama, provided the prices for the kits are the same, this will be benefiting many people from the western area.

Agreed, 1U is a good place and less hectic than downtown KL even though the crowd is more or less the same.

Which reminds me, what was the shop name that used to be in e@Curve? I remembered I bought several kits there.

And many regular websites are not updated with kit news or releases sad.gif

Just when you thought that the Justice head could not get any cooler, there they go and made a more modern version in the 2.0 release.
