QUOTE(rayloke @ Jun 9 2008, 11:29 PM) he he belum cuba belum tau, sekali cuba lagi mau..... thanks for ur opinion...For this one mebbe some will tell you this and some will tell u that. i recommend u try it yourself. Obviously the paint must be dilute to a level it can flow in tight space, like a panel line. but how thin or dilute, it's totally up to you! For example, u r using enamel paint black only (without adding other color like brown), the more dilute u will find that the tone of black/gray is lighter. so u can have thousands of tones of color. if u want a natura,l magazine photographed, kinda effect, mebbe lighter. If u want a very graphic novel dark panel line, well, make it less dilute. it's like in water color class, nobody can tell you what color the car you r going to paint. it's all decided by you! So try it yourself. first, gloss coat your kit, then try lighly touch the tip of your brush onto the panel line. the paint should, by itself, flowing and filling up the gap. Look at the result, if u dont like it, hmmm too dark, use a cotton bud dip with a little tuppertine or enamel thinner, wipe it off! Play with it, it's really fun! mebbe u can do a purple panel line which nobody ever did and the result is shockingly beautiful? The main thing is not how dilute so the paint can fill the longkang, everyoine can mix more thinner to fill longkangs, the main thing is what kinda of effect you want to make your kit looks even more professional. Happy trying! one question, why need to gloss coat 1st before paneling? |

QUOTE(naith @ Sep 17 2008, 09:36 PM) When I draw panel lines on the model, the ink seems to bleed on to the model, resulting in it looking much thicker than I would prefer. When I try to use a cotton bud to clean it up, it kind of smudges all over the place. I saw in this image of someone doing panel lines he is using mechanical pencil to do lininghttp://www.dalong.net/review/mg/mlp1/p/mlp1_mb1.jpg Does anyone know what type of marker is being used? Right now I'm using the Gundam Marker (GM01) Or does anyone have another recommendation for doing panel lines? |
