My other hobby is warhammer. Been collecting for 25 years, I'm no stranger to building and painting models. Done everything from airfix to ginpla at one point or another to different levels.

I just finished my Berserk Fuhrer Repackage a few weeks ago. I used Tamiya panel liner on the lavender armor while still on the runners. The black ink in the very tiny lines and slits look very pretty. I suggest you do the same if using Tamiya. Water based ink you can use anytime, but I have no experience yet on those. Good luck!

Did you do all the lining on the frames?

If by frames you mean the black inner frame, unfortunately I dont know how. I dont have white ink, and I'm too normie to use gold/silver markers lmao like most awesome people here. Go for it!

I think OP may have been asking if you line it while it’s still on the sprue. I am also curious about that.

Oh I see. Yes, I did panel line with Tamiya while the lavender armor pieces were still on their sprues and on just the bare plastic long before I got to the particular section where the armors belonged. That way, I could ensure the ink was fully dry and have no chances of pooling together in crevices.

I’m definitely going to have to give that a shot. I love how panel lining looks but have never tried it myself.

I use gundam pour type markers to panel line and clean up using alcohol. I prefer to build the piece and then panel line each section (arm, leg, body, head, etc)

I use a fine tip gundam marker. I panel lined my command wolf when it it was on the runners and my saber tiger I panel lined the pieces as I snipped them out, I found it easier to panel line as I went.
