Using only GIMP, i work with many layers (sometimes, more of 10...), generally one color on a layer.
Copying what i want from the original (underwings...) to a new layer, coloring it using the numerous tools of GIMP.
For panel lines, just one line in the same color, slightly lightened, and one adjacent, slightly darkened, using very transparent layer to guide me.
Markings are on one or two layers, weathering and shading work on another...
When the work is done, i export in jpg, then i use Format Factory (a freeware) to export this jpg in pdf (GIMP can do it too, but the file is several Mo, when FormatFactory dot it in less than 1MO).
From one to several hours of work give me a file that, one day (...), will be printed and buit (maybe).
Kidding: i build some of them and my showcases are full of paper and plastic models !
