GSI Creos Gray Fine Point Gundam Marker

I've never done panel lining or even heard of it until recently. I read the reviews on amazon and other gunpla sites and the consensus was that the gundam markers on amazon are expensive (b/c they're imports), may be a little 'thick', and there are cheaper alternatives. I tried some of the alternatives with finer tips and well...none of them had 'everything' I wanted in a panel lining pen. Basically I wanted something that was: 1) easy to line with (b/c I'm new to it) 2) forgiving on mistakes (b/c I can't draw straight lines or nothing) 3) looked great ('cuz that's the point) All the other markers i tried were either unforgiving (can't rub off the marker easily for mistakes) or were not easy to line (ink wouldn't adhere to plastic) and just weren't worth bothering with especially since most require you to buy a big 'pack' of pens that are comparable to just getting this one. I use this pen on white and light parts. It *is* a little thicker than it really needs to be, but you can rub off the excess with your finger, so the end product still ends up with an extremely fine line. The one thing you need to watch out for are nooks and crannies where if you mess up, you can't get your hand or q-tip in there to rub off the excess. I liked this pen so much I bought the black one for darker pieces (Epyon MG is practically all colored pieces). Things to know about this pen: -As others alluded, the tip is sensitive. Don't push too hard on it or it'll break, you don't need a lot of pressure -It's designed for bare plastic. If you use the gundam paints and try to line over it, you can get dried paint 'stuck' in the tip and mess up this marker. so don't use any pressure and you can still get the ink out, but it won't look great =/. -It's easier to panel while you're building the model than waiting until you're done as you can often have easier angles to get the paneling in. -Seems to last awhile - I've use this pen on 3 SD, 3 HG 1/144, 2 RG 1/144, and 1 MG 1/100 and it doesn't show any signs of going empty -Once this pen runs out, I intend to get another :)

Works great on even after almost two years and it's the official gundam marker so looks good too. Great for beginners like me trying to make a little extra detail. On the white it makes the details alot finer and changes the gundam alot. Its worth it.

I've used this for panel lining on a few HG Gunpla kits. It works great. Fine tip. Good color. Easy to wipe away if you need to clean it.

Neat lines but very thin, suitable only for minimal lining, don't expect o add a line with it, not to reinforce one as darker edge it just cant.(advice if you need a dark line get the bigger marker set use the black and the scratch away the excess and you can get a very defined neat line to you favorite size and it will look solid. Worth buying for lining.

This gundam marker is essential to detailing a kit you've worked hard on. I like to use the gray on white pieces instead of black, giving it less of a cartoony look. The ink from this is easily removed from unpainted plastic (you can literally wipe off any mistakes with your bare finger and leave no traces behind). I highly recommenced this as a tool for panel lining.

Works best for panel lining. Using it on colored parts of the Gundams requires you to go back and forth a lot to get it to show. But the tip is super fine and it is really easy to clean up in case of any mistakes. Perfect for making your Gundam look perfect and realistic :)

this pen is what i am looking for... white body with gray liner... is perfect. i used use black liner. and looks like .. too dark!!!.. order this liner, and yes, gray look really gooooood on white body gundam. it seem more real then black liner.

i'm kind of dissapointed in this pen, it really does not seem to be much different from the black, i hope for a more grey color =/ Not sellers fault

Utilisé pour faire le panel Line des parties blanches de mon Gunpla. Le Gris étant un peu plus discret à l'oeil que le noir, les lines ressortent assez sans être trop voyantes. Bon produit, en somme!

It does its job nicely and is pretty precise. Easily wiped with finger, cotton pad or alcohol. My favorite way to line the Gunpla!

Easy to correct, doesn't spill out ink much, very beginner-friendly

Funciona perfectamente para los contornos de los Gundam o de cualquier maqueta de plastico.

Perfetto per effettuare le lavorazioni sui modelli per il quale è nato. Molto preciso (da un po' di problemi se non si ha la mano ferma, ma quello chiaramente è un problema umano), se si sbava e si pulisce immediatamente non si crea nessun problema. Bisogna lasciare ad asciugare il pezzo interessato del modello almeno 4 ore prima del montaggio, in modo che prenda bene
