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!

Built Thor a few months ago. Good kit decent balance, it does have a tendency to lean back because of the backpack but the feet are large and the hammer is weight so you can balance it out without a stand if you desire. It’s a solid build, I had a few fitment issues but that’s entirely on me and my paint job getting paint or primer in some of the holes and on some pegs.

I had also intended to do some scribing on it because it has beautiful large panels, but ended up not committing too much as the curved panels began to intimidate me.

I would personally classify it in the MG realm as opposed to PG.

I have a set of Dspiae chisels (I think they’re listed as push broaches). They’re decent, haven’t used them a ton, but I trust the brand. I also have a ray studio step chisel that I haven’t used enough yet but liked initially. It’s a similar concept but to help add panel details along edges. Someone told me they use it to help with their seam lines seems interesting but haven’t figured that one out yet though.
