Im currently working on an Ultimate Unicron and i wana do some Pannel lining. However ive never actually done pannel lining before

i want to make THIN lines and ive heard the best way to do this is with GUNDAMN MARKERS. But ive seen afew pictures and the markers seem rather...thick... basically.

Is a very thin Gundamn marker the right way to pannel line? will the actual ink STAY on the figure when i try to transform it? it wont just rub off or anything will it

Personally, I love Pigma's pens that I picked up at Michael's. They're waterproof, though you can easily remove the ink (until it dries, anyway) if you make a mistake.

If you overcoat the figure after you do the lines they shouldn't go anywhere with minor use, though I wouldn't play with it too much. You could try scribing the panel lines first, there's a great tutorial here.

I second the Pigmas. I've used them and nothing else. Once it dries, it's on there, rock solid. I panel lined Armada Overload (not an easy task, lemme tell ya), and he looks rather different with all of those details popping out. I might've gone a tad overboard on it, but it looks good I think.

Ive ordered 1 of these mega thin GUNDAMN marker pens. The guy told me it shouldnt come off or rub unless i use something called GM300?

Anyone here used any thin gundamn marker pens before?
