u over did the panel lining! This is the onli thing i can think of now!

same wiv 03....
panel lining too thick... this leg belongs to HG wing zero custom rite?

really...thick meh? I tried to reduce my pressure on my hand lot oh...T_T guess I still hv a very long way to climb. anyways, thx ya

aiyoyo... so thick... u use panel lining pen or brush?

lance : its way too thick man...lawl...try using a cotton bud to wipe away any excess lines. if its oil based u are using, make sure the tip size is suitable..

thick meh? IMO i think it's just ok...

edwardgsk: i only use GM01

dude, no offense... u ask ppl to comment ur work..
so far i think 4 ppl been saying ur panel lining is thick and u still think it's ok.
there is some ppl do like thick panel lining, so u can still stick wiv it

I think the main thing is just not thick, but clean should be the word. Some like panel lining to be thick and black, like cartoon/comic/anime style. However, from the pictures, one is thinner panel lining, while the other one is thicker and very black, but both the main thing trying to create is being clean.

nvm... use mr colour thinner to clean it off... soften up the edge of the marker outline..

yup as what rayloke saids because u didt clean up ur panel line carefully in result making the lines look thick ..... panel lining dosent require u to control ur pressure on ur hand ..... u can cin cai draw the line 1st ... then clean up the ink out side the panel line .... end result u can still have a very thin and nice panel line

Darklancer: GM01 water based? u should use cotton bud to make the thing thinner.... its way nicer and smudge effect make it looks like shadow or shading effect... trust me... its nice... BUT if u don wan to smudge it, equip urself with oil based GM01(200)... with that u don nid to make it thinner cuz its already thin enuf...

what zero1st said is correct... water based panel lining pen u no nid control the pressure one... simply hantam only, but be careful so ur pen tip wont 'burst' cuz the thing is soft tip compared to oil based who has a soft tip too but fine and supported by stainless steel to erect the thing... gd luk!

hmm.... space weathering usually bit of paint chip and color fade coz in space, the sun shine on the gundam ma rite... tat's wat Rayloke tells me la...
Space nothing much though IMO, maybe u try dry brushing on it?

any example of it? and i would like to ask y the transparent sticker tat usually use in MG turns yellowish after a few months?

if u wan realistic can research pics on space shutter those r the best object u can study ....

i kno the effect but how to make it aiyo.... tats my problem haha i already found some pictures of space shuttle...

What Zero1st said is like the ultimate truth in modelling, research (He he talk like real only, i myself darn lazy too )

What we do is like what we did when we were in school art class. basically we r using paint to recreate the image of certain thing. if u see a drop of blood, you can use paint to create something looks like a drop of blood on your model. try to draw or paint the image u want, with the help from reference. just be patient, slowly paint bit by bit.

u can use this as a guide line: I used to see a hongkong fren of mine, he's a pro modeller, he used 20 minutes, fully concerntreate, just to did some rust and oil stain on one GP03 knee cap. I saw him do it, just paint some color, wash, add somemore color, blend them.... exactly like what i did in water color class!

but u blen with airbrush? lol

Thanks for the comments and advices guys, really appreciates it. now i'll just stick wif clean lining first than effect first. wat i did was, after apply ink, i used cotton bud to "pull" or "spread" the ink out from the panel lines to make a bit effect. Or maybe i over did it @_@ a friend told me tat black is not a very good colour to make effect

I'll try simple clean lining on sandrock custom and see how it goes. my wzc ah...i dunno leh...i feel sayang to wash it n redo cos i applied topcoat oledi T_T leave it there to let me remind of my mistakes lah.
