First time I panel lined an HG, and also first time I panel lined after I finished building, instead of during; it turned out pretty well, I think; some lines, like the inside of the left knee and left shoulder (as well as the barrel of the beam rifle, or maybe that's just a shadow). I'll probably go over those with a q-tip later. Some of the lines are a bit thin, too, but there's not much I can do about that. The lines on the wings especially were kinda annoying to do because they were so shallow, so a ton of the paint spilled over and when I went over it with the q-tip it was really easy to wipe a lot of the lines I wanted to keep too.
The wings and shoulders seem to detach really easy, but I think that's probably because of the transformation. Shame though, because I don't think I'll use it. Tons of extra parts and taking off and reattaching sections. :/ I don't think this happens as much with other HGs; at least, I don't think my Murasame and Methuss need that many extra parts. Arios I know doesn't need any extra parts; that was one of my favorite things about it. I wish that the Delta Plus's was the same, but I guess its transformation is so complex that only the MG has enough room to do it all without the parts being microscopic.
Speaking of MG, I should probably finish my Zeta sometime... I still need to build the legs, back stuff, and weapons. I'm probably going to hold off on panel lining until afterward like I did here; it looks pretty nice anyway, and besides, I'm pretty much out of paint thinner.
