    Does anyone have experience of panel lining? I have bought a few Zoids and intend to add some details (panel lining is a certain, weathering possible). It is a long time since I did any GW painting.

    Just wondering if I go the Gundam marker route or paint...

    You could probably go either way, but from what I've heard Gundam Markers seem like a better option.

    Looks good. I opened Blackarachnia today as well, really impressed. I think I'd be happy with an oversized KO of Terrorsaur to go with (with that Japan only cartoon deco).

    Yes! I build Gunpla and I have tried my hand at panel lining TF toys too. If you're just going to add some detail, I'd go with the markers. Liquid panel liner gives the best results, IMO, but you can run into issues with the thinners used weakening and cracking plastic, so I'd save that for full paint jobs. I'm only just getting into full paint jobs, so most of my kits are panel lined with painted details and sometimes waterslides and/or weathering. Let me know if I can help with anything!

    Comics has Cyclonus again.

    IDT have Marvel Legends The Raft at a mere £150.

    Oh, and Poundland had Funko Pops for James Bond and Xmen Marvel Girl at £3.

    Uh oh

    I was thinking the other day a Wacky Races crossover could be fun :D  Also potential for fun if you have Slag turn into the Slag Brothers' Boulder mobile :D 

    ...

    I know some people have been asking about scans of the Teletraan one thing from Netflix, just stumbled on this on Ebay. No idea about the seller but thought it might interest peeps! It's a PDF with scans of the pieces, being sold but not for that much really.

    Smyths are eventually getting them in, allegedly soon, you know how that goes... there was a rumour a while back of Tesco getting them. While you'd be divorced I'd be as happy as a pig in shit lol

    I was in today but everything is budgeted for at the moment (you know how much I buy and I was shopping for my mate too!) so I needed to be sure you still needed it! I'll grab it when I'm next in.

    Amazon have kindly sent me a ‘£5 off £25 spend’ voucher so I think I’ll be adding a battle cat and maybe a man at arms seeing as there doesn’t seem to be any TF’s worth spending it on.

    I used a 0.3 drawing pen £2 ish from Osbourne's and a baby wipe.
    Like you go line, wipe,line,wipe.

    Sounds a naus but surprisingly quick and you get a little zen and focused after a couple minutes

    Offft loving all the fairlady Z esq cars from S/ER! The silver launchers were bugging at me so had to give them a kick of paint for OG toy accuracy
