>>11379182I know it looks excessive but apart from the couple of spares of highly used colors (white, black, ghost grey that sort of thing) not a single bottle hasn't been used at least on one model. It's a good 12 years of collecting in that pic the bottles last really well on the shelf.
>>11379204It isn't really meant to work with raised panel lines unfortunately. You can still let it run along the panel lines and remove the excess by scrubbing perpendicular to the panel line with a Q-tip, that should leave a little bit of it in the corners.
>>11379235>>11379400This is your answer. A good model is simply one that's actually finished with all the parts and a finished paint scheme, weathering, aging, all that shit is entirely down to taste. In my local IPMS group (I don't attend anything but I'm a member of the online groups) the tendency is actually to have ZERO weathering and panel lines which I find pretty boring but the model probably looks more scale accurate like this, pic related
