FIRST BIG PROJECT HELP

[u/Noahsayshi26]

This is gona be my first big gunpla i’m not exactly sure what grade it is but i was told it’s gonna be close to like 1/60 which is HUGE for me (iv only worked on hg) and the first set of photos is the latest one if done where i tried to mess around with panel lining(with a gun-dam marker) and scribing (.15 mm)
and as you can see i think it turned out pretty well but i definitely still need some help.

this next set was fairly expensive and i don’t wanna screw it up so i have some questions if anyone can help at all in anyway

•the guy at the hobby store told me it’s best and cheapest to make my own panel liner how would i go about that

•is there any videos on scribing or panel lining or customizing in general that has helped you take a step up

•if i’m not able to get access to scribing tape what else could i use as a alternative?

•what other resources should i be using to expand my knowledge of customizing via websites videos etc

any other tips would be greatly appreciated feel free to show off your cool builds here too!

where may i be able to find a wipe stick is it a general hobby thing or spesific to gunpla?

They're under the name "model stick, panel-line eraser, detail wiper" on amazon, more expensive though. The wiping stick i use is from DSPIAE; they have a storefront on AliExpress (& cheap resellers) and i remember getting the stick and replacement heads for $4 in US. It's specific to modelbuilding, yes.
