Josh1971 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 So I have a LOT of Monogram kits with those pesky raised panel lines, but I only have a LITTLE patience for scribing and sanding and such. Is there a technique for pre-shading and shading raised panel lines? Thanks for looking! JB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miccara Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) So I have a LOT of Monogram kits with those pesky raised panel lines, but I only have a LITTLE patience for scribing and sanding and such.Is there a technique for pre-shading and shading raised panel lines? Thanks for looking! JB I do it exactly the same way as the engraved lines. No difference for me other than post shading is restricted to one side of the line. The bird shown here has most panel lines raised (Well... some anyway) http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/Miccara/geo20005.jpg Edited February 12, 2007 by Miccara Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh1971 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks very much. I figured pre-shading would be about the same, but it sounds like regular panel shading is the same as well. Should help out quite a bit when I start working on the Monogram kits I've got. Thanks again, JB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 My technique is as follows: preshading is done normal way... but since it's hard to get a good panel lines wash, I use pastel powder to enhance the look of panel lines... from 1 meter distance, you can't tell the difference, wheter the lines are engraved or raised... pics of my 1/72 F-5E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Sebastijan Love the F-5E's! I did the same, just enhanced the raised lines with light passes of pastel chalks. <_< MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rlee61 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 SebastijanLove the F-5E's! I did the same, just enhanced the raised lines with light passes of pastel chalks. MikeJ Would you brush the pastel, or simply go over the lines with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vanilla gorilla Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Like the pastel guys, I use those and a soft graphite pencil. Sharpening the tip helps me get a little more accurate, darker, starting point. From there I "pull" the first bit of the marking across the panel line with a very short, stiff bristled brush. Gives the line a nice gradiation rather than a line with only one shade. Looks a little more realistic to me. VG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
