Neo Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 I dave thanks for the input MiniCraft build the kit this way and i actually have a pic of a Cessna with the struts this way. I saw the error before putting the on because it would have been too much work to modify them and im on a short time lime as this is my GF dad X-mas gift. Thanks again to all for the support will be posting more progress tonight Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Well here is the finish line I have tried to get the panel lines to stand via a chalk was but after 3 tries i guess the panel lines are not deep enough the chalk just dosent stay in after the wipe. Or maybe its just me not doing it right i use gray chalk with a tiny bit of water and some dish soap Its not too late if any of you have some great advice for me to bring the panel lines out. The plane has 2 coats of Humbrol gloss on now Here is the end result Comments and critiques are welcomed Cheers and thanks for the support Neo Edited December 17, 2010 by Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RescueDiver Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 What a great looking build Neo! As for your panel lines, I never really had much luck with pastels and chalks my self for panel lines. I always use a gloss coat and then a super thin mix of black or whatever color I need. It fills even the smallest of lines. anyone else have any luck with the pastels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neo Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Will do charlie . I will take proper pics tonight (was too lazy last night to pull out my photo setup) I always use a gloss coat and then a super thin mix of black or whatever color I need. Im not sure i understand how you achieve that? could you describe you technique ? Thanks Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
