StevenGuthmiller Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Looks great Sidney! Decided not to do the panel lines this time? Doesn't really matter. Looks terrific anyway! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fseva Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Sidney, and you told me you were a rookie! Looks a lot better than my first attempt! BTW, panel lines can be overdone. I've tried scribing, which is very dangerous, because you can really scar your model if you jump out of the groove. Gave that up because it was almost impossible to do it without getting somewhat impatient, and that's when the accidents happened. Tried an ultrafine black Sharpie, and wound up overdoing it to the point where the panel lines just were too noticeable. So, good luck on whatever you do... and I know you're going to have to do it for yourself. Edited May 15, 2015 by fseva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, good luck on whatever you do... and I know you're going to have to do it for yourself. As long as your panel lines are deep enough, you don't have to do any scribing. I rarely scribe panels except for limited areas where they can be a little shallow, (ie. the tops of the doors). The panel lines on Sidney's Vette do look pretty shallow, so it's probably just as well that he left it alone. If you use acrylic craft paint & the results are less than desirable, it's an easy fix. A little warm water & a soft brush will clean it right out, so you can either make a second attempt, or just forget about it. It is a pretty simple technique that will add a lot of realism to your builds. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Schwartz Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I gave up on the panel lines for this kit, and am still undecided about what to do on the '53 Studebaker Starliner I just started. The panel lines on that one look awfully shallow and narrow. I'll see how it looks with some paint on it. Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement.

Sidney Schwartz Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 For those that have commented on the body color, I used Americana Light Buttermilk acrylic craft paint. Got it at our local Michael's, and it's widely available on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
