I'm blown away by this video, extremely simple and to the point, yet super informative. Thank you so much! I just started designing my own panel lines and this video gave me the confidence to just go for it!
hello just a little message to thank you for your videos. I'm just starting scribing and thanks to your eplication and video I understand much better what I'm doing and how to do it. I hope you will continue these tutorial and explanation thank you and have a good day
I just started getting into Gunpla and your videos and tutorials are top notch! #InstantFan. Hope you can suggest what size of scribber we can start with
Thank you for watching my videos! This was my reply to a somewhat similar comment: I use 0.15, 0.2 and 0.5 the most. * 0.15mm: Perfect for fine details and intricate lines, it's the same size as the existing panel lines on 1/144 kits as well. * 0.2mm: A versatile size suitable for general scribing and panel lining on 1/100 scale kits. Same size as the existing lines on those kits too. * 0.5mm: Best for creating wider lines and deeper grooves, ideal for highlighting larger panel lines and add variety to your panel line design.
Nico, thank you for the reply to my question on how to hold and angle a scribe tool. Can you give advice on whether to scribe certain types of plastics in kits? I just started scribing and I got a kit that has two kinds of plastic parts (don't know why): some parts were of the normal "harder" plastic, and the other parts are "softer" plastic. When I have scribed the softer parts, it doesn't create the sharp lines expected, but instead the edges never stay sharp. Example is when I sand, the plastic kind of melts back into the panel line created. The soft plastic is kind of like the type of plastic normally used for internal joint parts. I don't know why the kit made external parts with that kind of plastic. Have you encountered this, and what is your advice?
There’s really no solution when the problem is the plastic itself. It’s rare for the external parts to have the “soft” plastic but when it happens, the best course of action is to just not scribe on it instead of having funky looking results if you force it or instead of scribing, do pla plating instead. Another workaround is you can run tamiya thin cement over the panel line you just created so the plastic doesn’t “melt back” But yeah usually no matter what type of plastic, it can be scribed on if you try hard enough 😆
What brand of scribe is this? I can't find it online, and I'm in australia. Do you have any other reccomendations for cheap scribes? (I'm just trying to Re-Scribe)
When scribing, is it mandatory to do it on finished part? Thanks for the answer. Do you have a link for all the tools you used? Thanks for this, gonna try this soon.
Usually after customizing like this, you want to paint yes. Rarely though, people will buff the plastic until it looks like the original so no painting will be required but that’s a lot of work instead of just painting it
I used to have the scriber that you have and I broke the tip. LOL I also don't recommend it. Yes, I also don't recommend the Dymo tapes. DSPIAE tapes are the best! I'm having fun with the Grida from Gunprimer now. 😁
First time hearing of the “3 line rule.” This is what I needed for actually coming up with some lines. I don’t consider myself super creative lol

If I’m not mistaken it’s the Alexen Model Scriber. www.bnamodelworld.com.au/scribers-templates-hobby-tools-supplies-alexen-model-ale-aj0029

What do you mean by finished parts? Generally you scribe/customize after snapbuilding your Gunpla and before painting.
You should paint an Eva kit 😉
How would you go about polishing the part after sanding it down to get rid of the scratches?
You want to polish because you don’t plan to paint?
what brand of tape did you use?
Dspiae scribing guide tape
does that mean that this part needs to be painted now, after all that sanding?
Usually after customizing like this, you want to paint yes. Rarely though, people will buff the plastic until it looks like the original so no painting will be required but that’s a lot of work instead of just painting it
How to make your own panel line?
What mm should I use first to last?
I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand the question? What do you mean first to last?
Nice advice! Can I ask how to draw a curved panel line ? It’s too hard for me.
I have a video about it actually 😁 th-cam.com/video/t8NKQNz2rOg/w-d-xo.html
Nico I heard that you do commissions to make diorama,If you do make dioramas for some can I request and ship it here?
Sry for my bad English
Hi! Yes I do commissions and can ship internationally, you can message me on my instagram or twitter @NicoSuratos

woaw. a female hobbyist. Are you a filo?
Yes po, 100% pinoy 😅
@@NicoSuratos You're amazing senpai.

I’ll get it to you soon! Sorry!
